More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
God calls us to worship, but in many instances we are in entertainment, just running a poor second to the theaters. That is where we are, even in the evangelical churches, and I don't mind telling you that most of the people we say we are trying to reach will never come to a church to see a lot of amateur actors putting on a home-talent show.

The essence of idolatry is the entertainment of thoughts about God that are unworthy of Him. The heaviest obligation lying upon the Christian Church today is to purify and elevate her concept of God until it is once more worthy of Him.

If Jesus Christ isn't the central figure in our lives and in our churches, we're only fooling ourselves.

We get our moral bearings by looking at God. We must begin with God. We are right when, and only when, we stand in a right position relative to God, and we are wrong so far and so long as we stand in any other position.

What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.

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.

Those who seek the deeper Christian life and those who want the riches that are in Christ Jesus the Lord seek no place, no wealth, no things, only Christ.

If God takes away from us the old, wrinkled, beat-up dollar bill we have clutched so desperately, it is only because He wants to exchange it for the whole Federal mint, the entire treasury! He is saying to us, 'I have in store for you all the resources of heaven. Help yourself.'

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.

Love wills the good of all and never wills harm or evil to any

God often hides His blessing in trouble or trial, which makes it all the sweeter when it comes our way.

We can be in our day what the heroes of faith were in their day - but remember at the time they didn't know they were heroes.

I think that most Christians would be better pleased if the Lord did not inquire into their personal affairs too closely. They want Him to save them, to keep them happy, and to take them off to heaven at last, but not to be too inquisitive about their conduct or services.

With a sacred expectation, I look for God in ALL of the circumstances of my day.

Quoting Scripture leads you to the fountain, but only if you plunge in and come up wet will I know that you are a Christian.

To know God is to fear Him. And this fear is to love Him as He deserves to be loved.
