More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
Nothing less than a whole Bible can make a whole Christian.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
For this reason the gravest question before the Church is always God Himself, and the most portentous fact about any man is not what he at a given time may say or do, but what he is his deep heart conceives God to be like.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Refuse to be average. Let your heart soar as high as it will.
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.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Man for all his genius is but an echo of the original Voice, a reflection of the uncreated Light.
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
Are you satisfied being filled with good information about God, or do you long to burst into His manifest presence?
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The Christian's heart must be soaked in prayer before the true spiritual fruits begin to grow.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
People have faith in 'faith' and largely forget that our confidence is not in the power of faith but in the Person and work of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The experiences of men who walked with God in olden times agree to teach that the Lord cannot fully bless the a man until He has first conquered him. The degree of blessing enjoyed by any man will correspond exactly with the completeness of God's victory over him.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Prayer is always in danger of degenerating into a glorified gold rush. How to get things from God occupies most [books].
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Faith never goes contrary to reason -- faith simply ignores reason and rises above 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
We may sing, 'Crown Him Lord of all,' and rejoice in the tones of the loud-sounding organ and the deep melody of harmonious voices, but still we have done nothing until we have left the world and set our faces toward the city of God in hard practical reality. When faith becomes obedience then it is true faith indeed.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Secularism, materialism, and the intrusive presence of things have put out the light in our souls and turned us into a generation of zombies.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
There is a restlessness within us that cannot be satisfied until we rest fully in God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
To truly know God we must long for Him without any other motive than reaching God Himself.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
What good is all our busy religion if God isn't in it? What good is it if we've lost majesty, reverence, worship-an awareness of the divine? What good is it if we've lost a sense of the Presence and the ability to retreat within our own hearts and meet God in the garden?
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Come near to the holy men and women of the past and you will soon feel the heat of their desire after God. They mourned for Him, they prayed and wrestled and sought for Him day and night, in season and out, and when they found Him, the finding was all the sweeter for the long seeking.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Always, everywhere God is present, and always He seeks to discover Himself to each one
