More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
Repentance isn't only sorrow for past sins, it's also a determination to now do the will of God as He reveals it to us
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The author squares man's depravity with still being made in the image of God with this word picture. A vase that has held beautiful roses though now broken, will nevertheless hold something of the fragrance it once contained.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
What do we value most? What would we most hate to lose? What do our thoughts turn to most frequently when we are free to think of what we will? And finally, what affords us the greatest pleasure?
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Yes, worship of the loving God is man's whole reason for existence.

Retire from the world each day to some private spot. Stay in the secret place till the surrounding noises begin to fade out of your heart and a sense of God's presence envelops you. Deliberately tune out the unpleasant sounds and come out of your closet determined not to hear them. Listen for the inward voice till you learn to recognize it.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The idea that this world is a playground instead of a battleground has now been accepted in practice by the vast majority of Christians... The 'worship' growing out of such a view of life is as far off center as the view itself - a sort of sanctified nightclub without the champagne and the dressed-up drunks.

The man who would truly know God must give time to Him.

Most Christians don't hear God's voice because we've already decided we aren't going to do what He says.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
One compromise here, another there and soon enough the so-called Christian and the man in the world look the same.

All great Christians have been wounded souls.

I think a new world will arise out of the religious mists when we approach our Bible with the idea that it is not only a book which was once spoken, but a book which is now speaking.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Each day presents a new opportunity to experience God's presence.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We may say simply that in the sight of God we are judged not so much by what we do as by our reasons for doing it.

I cannot recall, in any of my reading, a single instance of a prophet who applied for the job.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The devil loves it when we say we believe then prioritize everything in our lives ahead of God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
One of the greatest foes of the Christian is religious complacency.. Orthodox Christianity has fallen to its present low estate from lack of spiritual desire. Among the many who profess the Christian faith, scarcely one in a thousand reveals any passionate thirst for God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
To expose our hearts to truth and consistently refuse or neglect to obey the impulses it arouses is to stymie the motions of life within us and, if persisted in, to grieve the Holy Spirit into silence.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
In Christ and by Christ, God effects complete self-disclosure , although He shows Himself not to reason but to faith and love. Faith is an organ of knowledge, and love an organ of experience. God came to us in the incarnation in atonement He reconciled us to Himself, and by faith and love we enter and lay hold on Him.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
For millions of Christians, nevertheless, God is no more real than He is to the non-Christian. They go through life trying to love an ideal and be loyal to a mere principle.

Jesus Christ never thinks about what we have been! He always thinks about what we are going to be.
