I can trust the One who has my best interest in mind.

We are here to affirm, not to deny... when we affirm all that is God, all that is not God is automatically denied.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Holiness, as taught in the Scriptures, is not based upon knowledge on our part. Rather, it is based upon the resurrected Christ in-dwelling us and changing us into His likeness.

The only cross in all of history that was turned into an altar was the cross on which Jesus Christ died. It was a Roman cross. They nailed Him on it, and God, in His majesty and mystery, turned it into an altar. The Lamb who was dying in the mystery and wonder of God was turned into the Priest who offered Himself. No one else was a worthy offering.

Aiden Wilson Tozer
Satan hates God for His own sake, and everything that is dear to God he hates for the very reason that God loves it.

To great sections of the church the art of worship has been lost entirely, and in its place has come that strange and foreign thing called the 'program.' This word has been borrowed from the stage and applied with sad wisdom to the type of public service which now passes for worship among us.

I believe that the imperative need of the day is not simply revival, but a radical reformation that will go to the root of our moral and spiritual maladies and deal with causes rather than with consequences, with the disease rather than with symptoms.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The veil of money has never been about how much money you have but about how much money has you.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The widest thing in the universe is not space it is the potential capacity of the human heart. Being made in the image of God, it is capable of almost unlimited extension in all directions. And one of the world's greatest tragedies is that we allow our hearts to shrink until there is room in them for little besides ourselves.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The more highly we think of ourselves-our abilities and talents-the less God can use us.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Our problem is that we go from toy to toy rather than from glory to glory.
