Aiden Wilson Tozer quotes about
kings would-be thrones
One thing is certain: the call of Christ is always a promotion. Were Christ to call a king from his throne to preach the gospel to some tribe of aborigines, that king would be elevated above anything he had known before. Any movement toward Christ is ascent, and any direction away from Him is down.
christian spiritual kings
In every Christian's Heart, there is a cross and a throne, and the Christian is on the throne till he puts himself on the cross; if he refuses the cross, he remains on the throne. Perhaps this is at the bottom of the backsliding and worldliness among Gospel believers today. We want to be saved, but we insist that Christ do all the dying. No cross for us, no dethronement, no dying. We remain king within the little kingdom of man's soul and wear our tinsel crown with all the pride of a caesar; but we doom ourselves to shadows and weakness and spiritual sterility.
kings real men
If man had written the Gospels - say Shakespeare or Eugene O'Neill - the story of the gospel would have been drastically different. They would have placed the prince in halls and palaces and had him walking among the great. They would have had him surrounded by the important and significant of the time. Potentates and kings would have been His companions. But how sweetly common was the real God-man; though He had inhabited all eternity, He had come down and was subject to the rising and the setting of the sun.
jesus kings lord
Jesus our Lord is Prophet, Priest, and King. The concept is not new, yet many preachers never preach it, and many congregations never hear it.
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.
