...popular fundamentalist theology has emphasized the utility of the cross rather than the beauty of the One who died on it... The work of Christ has been stressed until it has eclipsed the person of Christ.

Always, everywhere God is present, and always He seeks to discover Himself to each one
Aiden Wilson Tozer
If I empty out half of my life, God can only fill half...God will fill as much of us as we allow Him to fill.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
When we yield ourselves completely to God, He gives Himself completely to us.

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.

True and absolute freedom is only found in the presence of God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
God is so vastly wonderful, so utterly and completely delightful that He can, without anything other than Himself, meet and overflow the deepest demands of our total nature, mysterious and deep as that nature is.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Let a man set his heart only on doing the will of God and he is instantly free. If we understand our first and sole duty to consist of loving God supremely and loving everyone, even our enemies, for God's dear sake, then we can enjoy spiritual tranquility under every circumstance.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
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.

God is never impressed with what a man can do. He is more concerned with what a man is.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Complacency is a deadly foe of all spiritual growth. Acute desire must be present or there will be no manifestation of Christ to His people. He waits to be wanted. Too bad that with many of us He waits so long, so very long, in vain.

I can safely say, on the authority of all that is revealed in the Word of God, that any man or woman on this earth who is bored and turned off by worship is not ready for heaven.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
God desires and is pleased to communicate with us through the avenues of our minds, our wills, and our emotions. The continuous and unembarrassed interchange of love and thought between God and the souls of the redeemed men and women is the throbbing heart of the New Testament.

To fear and not be afraid- that is the paradox of faith.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
And what kind of habitation pleases God? What must our natures be like before he can feel at home within us? He asks nothing but a pure heart and a single mind. He asks no rich paneling, no rugs from the Orient, no art treasures from afar. He desires but sincerity, transparency, humility, and love. He will see to the rest.

God is not silent. It is the nature of God to speak. The second person of the Holy Trinity is called The Word. The Bible is the inevitable outcome of God's continuous speech. It is the infallible declaration of His mind.

There is no limit to what God can do through us if we are a yielded and purified people.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
All things else being equal, our prayers are only as powerful as our lives. In the long pull we only pray as well as we live.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
When people sugarcoat Christianity, arrange it all nicely, they have, in effect, taken away the Cross.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Self is the opaque veil that hides the face of God from us.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Let every man abide in the calling wherein he is called and his work will be as sacred as the work of the ministry. It is not what a man does that determines whether his work is sacred or secular, it is why he does it.
