Aiden Wilson Tozer quotes about
prayer our-time
[Prayer] takes no time, but it occupies all our time.
two free-will collide
There cannot be two absolutely free beings in the universe, for sooner or later two completely free wills must collide.
heart space tragedy
The widest thing in the universe is not space; it is the potential capacity of the human heart. Being made in the image of God, it is capable of almost unlimited extension in all directions. And one of the world's greatest tragedies is that we allow our hearts to shrink until there is room in them for little besides ourselves.
thinking important important-things
The most important thing you think is what you think about God.
christian growing-knowledge progress
Progress in the Christian life is exactly equal to the growing knowledge we gain of the Triune God in personal experience.
men helping christ
It is altogether doubtful whether any man can be saved who comes to Christ for His help with no intention to obey Him.
jesus church beginning-middle-and-end
Wherever we turn in the church of God, there is Jesus. He is the beginning, middle and end of everything to us....
needs logic found
We have been snared in the coils of a spurious logic which insists that if we have found Him we need no more seek Him.
teaching mean essence
To avoid the hard necessity of either obeying or rejecting the plain instructions of our Lord in the New Testament we take refuge in a liberal interpretation of them. We evangelicals also know how to avoid the sharp point of obedience by means of fine and intricate explanations. These are tailor-made for the flesh. They excuse disobedience, comfort carnality and make the words of Christ of none effect. And the essence of it all is that Christ simply could not have meant what He said. His teachings are accepted even theoretically only after they have been weakened by interpretation.
christian spiritual prayer
The Christian's heart must be soaked in prayer before the true spiritual fruits begin to grow.
wicked-person lovers common
Judas Iscariot was not a greatly wicked person, just a common money-lover, and like most money-lovers, he did not understand Christ.
blessed thinking space
So when we sing, 'Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,' we are not thinking of the nearness of place, but of the nearness of relationship. It is for increasing degrees of awareness that we pray, for a more perfect consciousness of the divine Presence. We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts.
church locals local-church
A local church will only be as great as its conception of God.
spiritual men grace
...revivals (or any other spiritual gifts and graces) come only to those who want them badly enough. It may be said without qualification that every man is as holy and as full of the Spirit as he wants to be. He may not be as full as he wishes he were, but he is most certainly as full as he wants to be.
