Aiden Wilson Tozer quotes about
idols hands mind
An idol of the mind is as offensive to God as an idol of the hand.
god hands idols
If we insist upon trying to imagine Him, we end with an idol, made not with hands but with thoughts; and an idol of the mind is as offensive to God as an idol of the hand.
hands idols mind
When we try to imagine what God is like we must of necessity use that-which-is-not- God as the raw material for our minds to work on; hence whatever we visualize God to be, He is not, for we have constructed our image out of that which He has made and what He has made is not God. If we insist upon trying to imagine Him, we end with an idol, made not with hands but with thoughts; and an idol of the mind is as offensive to God as an idol of the hand.
pride idols long
As long as you set yourself up as a little god to which you must be loyal there will be those who will delight to offer affront to your idol.
christian religious exercise
I say that a Christian congregation can survive and often appear to prosper in the community by the exercise of human talent and without any touch from the Holy Spirit! All that religious activity and the dear people will not know anything better until the great and terrible day when our self-employed talents are burned with fire and only that which was wrought by the Holy Ghost will stand forever!
spiritual soul enemy
Complacency is the deadly enemy of spiritual progress. The contented soul is the stagnant soul.
expectations sacred looks
With a sacred expectation, I look for God in ALL of the circumstances of my day.
father eye world
O God and Father, I repent of my sinful preoccupation with visible things. The world has been too much with me. Thou hast been here and I knew it not. I have been blind to Thy Presence. Open my eyes that I may behold Thee in and around me. For Christ's sake, Amen.
sick
Where God is not glorified, that place is sick
religious knowing people
It's hard to rest knowing that millions of people merely carry on religious traditions but don't actually reach God.
preparation rehearsal worship
The best preparation for worship is not a rehearsal, but surrender.
monday way worship-god
If you're not worshiping God on Monday the way you [did] the day before, perhaps you're not worshiping Him at all.
faith heart journey
Faith is not merely a journey for the feet, but it is also a journey for the heart.
humility simplicity worship
It takes simplicity and humility to worship God acceptably.
