More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
We must break the evil habit of ignoring the spiritual. We must shift our interest from the seen to the unseen.

The sacred page is not meant to be the end, but only the means toward the end, which is knowing God Himself.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We are saved to worship God. All that Christ has done in the past and all that He is doing now leads to this one end.

To me, it has always been difficult to understand those evangelical Christians who insist upon living in the crisis as if no crisis existed. They say they serve the Lord, but they divide their days so as to leave plenty of time to play and loaf and enjoy the pleasures of the world as well. They are at ease while the world burns.

Christians don't tell lies they just go to church and sing them.
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.

Judas Iscariot was not a greatly wicked person, just a common money-lover, and like most money-lovers, he did not understand Christ.

What we think about when we are free to think about what we will – that is what we are or will soon become.

Our religious activities should be ordered in such a way as to have plenty of time for the cultivation of the fruits of solitude and silence.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The fruit is what really matters, not how gnarly or beautiful the apple tree is.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The victorious Christian neither exalts nor downgrades himself. His interests have shifted from self to Christ.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.

Hardly anything else reveals so well the fear and uncertainty among men as the length to which they will go to hide their true selves from each other and even from their own eyes.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We have full confidence in Jesus Christ. Our confidence rises as the character of God becomes greater and more trustworthy to our spiritual comprehension. The One with whom we deal is the One who embodies faithfulness and truth-the One who cannot lie.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
I have no doubt that historians will conclude that we of the twentieth century had intelligence enough to create a great civilization but not the moral wisdom to preserve it.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
God never uses anyone greatly until He tests them deeply.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
It is altogether doubtful whether any man can be saved who comes to Christ for His help with no intention to obey Him.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
With the goodness of God to desire our highest welfare, the wisdom of God to plan it, and the power of God to achieve it, what do we lack? Surely we are the most favored of all creatures.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Deliverance can come to us only by the defeat of our old life. Safety and peace come only after we have been forced to our knees. God rescues us by breaking us, by shattering our strength and wiping out our resistance.
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.
