More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
Our error today is that we do not expect a converted man to be a transformed man, and as a result of this error our churches are full of substandard Christians. A revival is among other things a return to the belief that real faith invariably produces holiness of heart and righteousness of life.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The only Christian you want to listen to is the one who gives you more of a hunger for God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
History is little more than the story of man's sin, and the daily newspaper a running commentary on it.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We Christians must simplify our lives or lose untold treasures on earth and in eternity. Modern civilization is so complex as to make the devotional life all but impossible. The need for solitude and quietness was never greater than it is today.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Faith never goes contrary to reason -- faith simply ignores reason and rises above it.
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 running the universe. We ought not think like scientists, but think like psalmists.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The old cross slew men the new cross entertains them. The old cross condemned the new cross amuses. The old cross destroyed confidence in the flesh the new cross encourages it.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Anything that God has declared that we should be we can be.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Much of our difficulty as seeking Christians stems from our unwillingness to take God as He is and adjust our lives accordingly. We insist upon trying to modify Him and bring Him nearer to our own image.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
When we make a choice today, we are deciding who we will be tomorrow.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Problems patiently endured will work for our spiritual perfecting.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The fact of God is necessary for the fact of man. Think God away and man has no ground of existence.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The labor of self-love is a heavy one indeed.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
For the Christian, humility is absolutely indispensable. Without it there can be no self-knowledge, no repentance, no faith and no salvation.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
To be entirely safe from the devil's snares the man of God must be completely obedient to the Word of the Lord. The driver on the highway is safe, not when he reads the signs but when he obeys them.
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
Such words as amen, hallelujah, glory and others of like sacred association are repeated endlessly and meaninglessly in the apparent belief that they have in them some strange power for good. This can be no more than high-grade magic. It will pay us to search our own hearts thoroughly to discover just why we use these words.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The best preparation for worship is not a rehearsal, but surrender.

I have found God to be cordial and generous and in every way easy to live with.
