Aiden Wilson Tozer quotes about
keys mind obedience
The KEY to disciplining ourselves in the area of obedience is always keeping in mind to whom we are being obedient.
prayer book gold
Prayer is always in danger of degenerating into a glorified gold rush. How to get things from God occupies most [books].
prayer sacred occupation
Prayer is the most sacred occupation a person could engage in.
prayer delegates
You can delegate many things, but prayer is not one of them.
religious mistake nice
Our mistake is that we want God to send revival on our terms. We want to get the power of God into our hands, to call it to us that it may work for us in promoting and furthering our kind of Christianity. We want still to be in charge, guiding the chariot through the religious sky in the direction we want it to go, shouting “Glory to God,” but modestly accepting a share of the glory for ourselves in a nice inoffensive sort of way. We are calling on God to send fire on our altars, completely ignoring the fact that they are OUR altars and not God’s....
men may surface
Powerless religion may put a man through many surface changes and leave him exactly what he was before.
masters source phenomenon
Religion is interested primarily in the One who is the source of all things, the master of every phenomenon.
holiness too-much shy
We fear extremes and shy away from too much ardor in religion as if it were possible to have too much love or too much faith or too much holiness.
christian spiritual men
In my creature impatience I am often caused to wish that there were some way to bring modern Christians into a deeper spiritual life painlessly by short, easy lessons; but such wishes are vain. No shortcut exists. God has not bowed to our nervous haste nor embraced the methods of our machine age. It is well that we accept the hard truth now: The man who would know God must give time to Him.
religious spring circles
One of the most popular current errors, and the one out of which springs most of the noisy, blustering religious activity in evangelical circles, is the notion that as times change the church must change with them.
satisfied
God is never satisfied with anything less than all.
jesus feet looks
You know, we'll hardly get our feet out of time [and] into eternity that we'll bow our heads in shame and humiliation. We'll gaze on eternity and say, 'My God! Look at all the riches there were in Jesus Christ, and I've come to the Judgment Seat almost a pauper!
God expects of us only what He Himself has supplied.
love-is thinking self
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?
