More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
Churches are more prosperous than at any time within the past several hundred years. But the alarming thing is that our gains are mostly external and our losses wholly internal and since it is the quality of our religion that is affected by internal conditions, it may be that our supposed gains are but losses spread over a wider field.

It requires a serious mind and a determined heart to pray past the ordinary into the unusual.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The heart of the world is breaking under this load of pride and pretense. There is no release from our burden apart from the meekness of Christ.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Retire from the world each day to some private spot. Stay in the secret place till the surrounding noises begin to fade out of your heart and a sense of God's presence envelops you. Deliberately tune out the unpleasant sounds and come out of your closet determined not to hear them. Listen for the inward voice till you learn to recognize it.
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.

I think a new world will arise out of the religious mists when we approach our Bible with the idea that it is not only a book which was once spoken, but a book which is now speaking.

God wants us to make Jesus Christ the central figure in our church--not just say that we do, but actually do it.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The Church has surrendered her once lofty concept of God and has substituted for it one so low, so ignoble, as to be utterly unworthy of thinking, worshiping men. This she has not done deliberately, but little by little and without her knowledge and her very unawareness only makes her situation all the more tragic.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
No man gives anything acceptable to God until has has first given himself in love and sacrifice.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
A true leader will have no desire to lord it over God’s heritage. He is rather ready to follow as well as lead.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We must never allow the majority to overrule the clear teaching of the Word of God.

Many Christians are satisfied with their destination but they neglect the journey.

America is laughing her way to Hell.
