Aiden Wilson Tozer quotes about
order tragedy important
This is the tragedy and woe of the hour--that we neglect the most important One who could possibly be in our midst--the Holy Spirit of God. Then, in order to make up for His absence, we have to do something to keep up our own spirits.
christian sins-not liberty
Christian liberty is freedom from sin, not freedom to sin.
paradox
To fear and not be afraid- that is the paradox of faith.
justice mercy quarrels
God's justice and God's mercy do not quarrel with each other.
fall heart sunday
God will speak to the hearts of those who prepare themselves to hear; and conversely, those who do not so prepare themselves will hear nothing even though the Word of God is falling upon their outer ears every Sunday.
christian running heart
What we need very badly these days is a company of Christians who are prepared to trust God as completely now as they know they must do at the last day... It would be better to invite God now to remove every false trust, to disengage our hearts from all secret hiding places and to bring us out into the open where we can discover for ourselves whether or not we actually trust Him. That is a harsh cure for our troubles, but it is a sure one. Gentler cures may be too weak to do the work. And time is running out on us.
christian spiritual real
The poor quality of Christian that grows out of our modern evangelistic meeting may be accounted for by the absence of real repentance accompanying the initial spiritual experience of the converts. And the absence of repentance is the result of an inadequate view of sin and sinfulness held by those who present themselves in the inquiry room.
christian encounters genuine
Genuine Christian experience must always include an encounter with God Himself.
needs way sticks
The best way to prove that a stick is crooked is to set a straight one beside it. No words need to be spoken.
christian philosophy voice
I want to be a more serious-minded Christian, more detached from this world, more ready for heaven than I have ever been in my whole life. I want an ear that is sharp to know the voice of the enemy, whether it comes from religion, politics, or philosophy ... I would rather stand and have everybody my enemy than to go along with the crowd to destruction. Do you feel that way?
mean hands let-it-go
To pray with your fists closed means you're hanging onto something. Let it go. Open your hands to God.
men grace virtue
To become effective men of God, then, we must know and acknowledge that every grace and every virtue proceeds from God alone, and that not even a good thought can come from us except it be of Him.
humble expectations determined
Come to the Word with a spirit of longing with devotion and humble expectation. Be determined to know God.
christian attitude luxury
We must face the fact that many today are notoriously careless in their living. This attitude finds its way into the church. We have liberty, we have money, we live in comparative luxury. As a result, discipline has disappeared. What would a violin solo sound like if the strings on the musician's instrument were all hanging loose, not stretched tight, not disciplined?
