Breezy, self-confident Christians tell us how wonderful it is to accept Christ and then have a good time all the rest of your life; the Lord won't demand anything of you. Yes, He will, my friend! The Lord will demand everything of you. And when you give it all up to Him, He may bless it and hand it back, but on the other hand He may not....
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
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.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
I must be frank in my feeling that a notable heresy has come into being throughout our evangelical Christian circles -- the widely accepted concept that we humans can choose to accept Christ only because we need Him as Saviour and that we have the right to postpone our obedience to Him as Lord as long as we want to... The truth is that salvation apart from obedience is unknown in the sacred scripture... Apart from obedience, there can be no salvation, for salvation without obedience is a self-contradictory impossibility.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
God wants us to worship Him. He doesn't need us, for He couldn't be a self-sufficient God and need anything or anybody, but He wants us. When Adam sinned it was not He who cried, "God, where art Thou?" It was God who cried, "Adam, where art thou?"
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
For the Christian, humility is absolutely indispensable. Without it there can be no self-knowledge, no repentance, no faith and no salvation.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Any objection to the carryings on of our present gold-calf Christianity is met with the triumphant reply, ‘But we are winning them!’ Winning them to what? To true discipleship? To cross-carrying? To self-denial? To separation from the world? To crucifixion of the flesh? To holy living? To hard self-discipline ? To love for God? To total committal to Christ? Of course the answer to all these questions is...No.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Promoting self under the guise of promoting Christ is currently so common as to excite little notice.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Of all forms of deception self-deception is the most deadly, and of all deceived persons the self-deceived are the least likely to discover the fraud.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Fundamentalism has stood aloof from the liberal in self-conscious superiority and has on its own part fallen into error, the error of textualism, which is simply orthodoxy without the Holy Ghost. Everywhere among conservatives we find persons who are Bible-taught but not Spirit-taught. They conceive truth to be something which they can grasp with the mind.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Self is the opaque veil that hides the Face of God from us. It can be removed only in spiritual experience, never by mere instruction.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
The labor of self-love is a heavy one indeed. Think whether much of your sorrow has not arisen from someone speaking slightingly of you. As long as you set yourself up as a little god to which you must be loyal, how can you hope to find inward peace?
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
In Christ and by Christ, God effects complete self-disclosure , although He shows Himself not to reason but to faith and love. Faith is an organ of knowledge, and love an organ of experience. God came to us in the incarnation; in atonement He reconciled us to Himself, and by faith and love we enter and lay hold on Him.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Until self-effacing men return again to spiritual leadership, we may expect a progressive deterioration in the quality of popular Christianity year after year till we reach the point where the grieved Holy Spirit withdraws - like the Shekinah from the temple.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Christianity takes for granted the absence of any self-help and offers a power which is nothing less than the power of God.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Rules for Self Discovery: 1. What we want most; 2. What we think about most; 3. How we use our money; 4. What we do with our leisure time; 5. The company we enjoy; 6. Who and what we admire; 7. What we laugh at.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Our self-trust is such a subtle thing that it still comes around whispering to us even after we are sure it is gone.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
God created our souls to be satisfied only with the divine everlastingness of the Word made flesh.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Show me the condition of your Bible and I will accurately gauge the condition of your soul.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Nothing twists and deforms the soul more than a low or unworthy conception of God
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Religious externals may have meaning for the God-inhabited soul; for any others they are not only useless but may actually become snares, deceiving them into a false and perilous sense of security.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
For it is not mere words that nourish the soul, but God Himself, and unless and until the hearers find God in personal experience they are not the better for having heard the truth.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Unbelief is actually perverted faith, for it puts its trust, not in the living God but in dying men. The unbeliever denies the selfsufficiency of God and usurps attributes that are not his. This dual sin dishonors God and ultimately destroys the soul of man.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
To have found God and still to pursue Him is the soul's paradox of love, scorned indeed by the too-easily-satisfied religionist, but justified in happy experience by the children of the burning heart.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
We taste Thee, O Thou Living Bread, And long to feast upon Thee still: We drink of Thee, the Fountainhead And thirst our souls from Thee to fill.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Maybe God is calling you to do something extraordinary that isn't on your calendar; something to revive your soul!
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
When the eyes of the soul looking out meet the eyes of God looking in, heaven has begun right here on earth.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
To have found God and still to pursue Him is the soul’s paradox of love.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
The yearning to know what cannot be known, to comprehend the incomprehensible, to touch and taste the unapproachable, arises from the image of God in the nature of man. Deep calleth unto deep, and though polluted and landlocked by the mighty disaster theologians call the Fall, the soul senses its origin and longs to return to its source.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
We tend by a secret law of the soul to move towards our mental image of God.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Secularism, materialism, and the intrusive presence of things have put out the light in our souls and turned us into a generation of zombies.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Do not allow the enemy of your soul to rob you of that unique quality God has breathed into you.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Complacency is the deadly enemy of spiritual progress. The contented soul is the stagnant soul.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
God is speaking. He is, by His nature, continuously articulate. He fills the world with His speaking voice.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
The shallowness of our inner experience, the hollowness of our worship, and that servile imitation of the world which marks our promotional methods all testify that we, in this day, know God only imperfectly, and the peace of God scarcely at all.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
The task of the church is twofold: to spread Christianity throughout the world and to make sure that the Christianity she spreads is the pure New Testament kind.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
The weakness of so many modern Christians is that they feel too much at home in the world
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
The Christian is a holy rebel loose in the world with access to the throne of God.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Christians must understand most emphatically that the world around us is in conflict with the Word within us.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
We must have a new reformation. There must come a violent break with that irresponsible, amusement-mad, paganized pseudo-religion which passes today for the faith of Christ and which is being spread all over the world by unspiritual men employing unscriptural methods to achieve their ends.
