Aiden Wilson Tozer quotes about
men thinking church
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.
voice people challenges
To be effective the preacher's message must be alive; it must alarm, arouse, challenge; it must be God's present voice to a particular people.
christian-inspirational knows
We can never know who or what we are till we know at least something of what God is.
philosophy ideas giving
Philosophy and science have not always been friendly toward the idea of God, the reason being they are dedicated to the task of accounting for things and are impatient with anything that refuses to give an account of itself. The philosopher and the scientist will admit that there is much that they do not know; but that is quite another thing from admitting there is something which they can never know, which indeed they have no technique for discovering.
thinking men facts
The fact of God is necessary for the fact of man. Think God away and man has no ground of existence.
god christian inspiration
We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts
faith christian inspiration
God wants the whole person and He will not rest till He gets us in entirety. No part of the man will do" (101) - "The Pursuit of God
christian inspiration godly
Always, everywhere God is present, and always He seeks to discover Himself to each one
christian stars children
Yet if we would know God and for other's sake tell what we know we must try to speak of his love. All Christians have tried but none has ever done it very well. I can no more do justice to that awesome and wonder-filled theme than a child can grasp a star. Still by reaching toward the star the child may call attention to it and even indicate the direction one must look to see it. So as I stretch my heart toward the high shining love of God someone who has not before known about it may be encouraged to look up and have hope.
god justice
Justice is not something God has. Justice is something that God is.
heart eye piano
Has it ever occurred to you that one hundred pianos all tuned to the same fork are automatically tuned to each other? They are of one accord by being tuned, not to each other, but to another standard to which each one must individually bow. So one hundred worshipers met together, each one looking away to Christ, are in heart nearer to each other than they could possibly be, were they to become 'unity' conscious and turn their eyes away from God to strive for closer fellowship.
wise heart mind
We might be wise to follow the insight of the enraptured heart rather than the more cautious reasoning of the theological mind.
grief men tragedy
A man by his sin may waste himself, which is to waste that which on earth is most like God. This is man's greatest tragedy and God's heaviest grief.
men world
Man must choose his world
