More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
The man who has been taught by the Holy Spirit will be a seer rather than a scholar. The difference is that the scholar sees and the seer sees through and that is a mighty difference indeed.

I believe in Christian charity, but I don't believe in Christian tolerance... When we become so tolerate that we lead people into mental fog and spiritual darkness, we are not acting like Christians we are acting like cowards!
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Genuine Christian experience must always include an encounter with God Himself.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
God desires to reveal to us that His capacity to forgive is bigger than our capacity to sin.

Whoever will listen will hear the speaking heaven. This is definitely not the hour when men take kindly to an exhortation to listen, for listening is not today a part of popular religion. We are at the opposite end of the pole from there. Religion has accepted the monstrous heresy that noise, size, activity and bluster make a man dear to God.

Faith is not in itself a meritorious act the merit is in the One to Whom it is directed.

If God gives you a few more years, remember, it is not yours. Your time must honor God, your home must honor God, your activity must honor God, and everything you do must honor God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Salvation is from our side a choice, from the divine side it is a seizing upon, an apprehending, a conquest by the Most High God. Our 'accepting' and 'willing' are reactions rather than actions. The right of determination must always remain with God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
God is so vastly wonderful, so utterly and completely delightful that He can, without anything other than Himself, meet and overflow the deepest demands of our total nature, mysterious and deep as that nature is.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
When God brings all things to light, you will discover just how significant you've been in God's plan.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
God never uses anyone greatly until He tests them deeply.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
There cannot be two absolutely free beings in the universe, for sooner or later two completely free wills must collide.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The essence of idolatry is the entertainment of thoughts about God that are unworthy of Him. The heaviest obligation lying upon the Christian Church today is to purify and elevate her concept of God until it is once more worthy of Him.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Always the most revealing thing about the church is her idea of God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Christian theology teaches the doctrine of prevenient grace, which briefly stated means this, that before a man can seek God, God must first have sought the man.

Silence is often the most eloquent answer to our critics.
