If Jesus Christ isn't the central figure in our lives and in our churches, we're only fooling ourselves.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The faith of Christ offers no buttons to push for quick service. The new order must wait the Lord's own time, and that is too much for the man in a hurry. He just gives up and becomes interested in something else.

It is God who works in and through us, if only we would let God do His work.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We get the odd notion that God is showing mercy because Jesus died. No. Jesus died because God is showing mercy.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The basic trouble with the church today is her unworthy concept of God... Our religion is weak because our God is weak... Christianity at any given time is strong or weak depending on her concept of God.

Brother Lawrence expressed the highest moral wisdom when he testified that if he stumbled and fell he turned at once to God and said, 'O Lord, this is what you may expect of me if You leave me to myself.' He then accepted forgiveness, thanked God, and gave himself no further concerns about the matter.

Let any man turn to God in earnest, let him begin to exercise himself unto godliness, let him seek to develop his powers of spiritual receptivity by trust and obedience and humility, and the results will exceed anything he may have hoped in his leaner and weaker days.

The creeping wilderness will soon take over that church that trusts in its own strength and forgets to watch and pray.

Mans nature indicates that he was created for three things: To think, to worship and to work. But thinking is not enough. Men are made to worship also, to bow down and adore in the presence of the Mystery inexpressible.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
God may allow His servant to succeed when He has disciplined him to a point where he does not need to succeed to be happy. The man who is elated by success and is cast down by failure is still a carnal man. At best his fruit will have a worm in it.

The Bible is not an end in itself, but a means to bring men to an intimate and satisfying knowledge of God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
If you do not worship God seven days a week, you do not worship Him on one day a week. There is no such thing known in heaven as Sunday worship unless it is accompanied by Monday worship and Tuesday worship and so on.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
True obedience is the refusal to compromise in any regard our relationship with God, regardless of the consequences.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
What is wisdom? It is the skill to achieve the perfect means by the perfect ends
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We can express our worship to God in many ways. But if we love the Lord and are led by His Holy Spirit, our worship will always bring a delighted sense of admiring awe and a sincere humility on our part.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The purpose of good works isn't to change us or save us rather, it's the demonstration of the change within us.
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
He fills heaven and earth as the ocean fills the bucket that is submerged in it, and as the ocean surrounds the bucket so does God in the universe He fills. The heaven of heavens cannot contain Thee. God is not contained: He contains.
