Text Quotes
You know, it's awfully hard to get a Christian scared. It's hard to get him panicked if he really believes in God. If he's just a church member, you can get him panicked. But if he really believes in God it's very difficult to do it  (A W Tozer Quotes) The evil habit of seeking God - and effectively prevents us from finding God in full revelation  (A W Tozer Quotes) In this hour of all-but-universal darkness one cheering gleam appears: within the fold of conservative Christianity there are to be found increasing numbers of persons whose religious lives are marked by a growing hunger after God Himself. They are eager for spiritual realities and will not be put off with words, nor will they be content with correct "interpretations" of truth. They are athirst for God, and they will not be satisfied till they have drunk deep at the Fountain of Living Water  (A W Tozer Quotes) But this hunger must be recognized by our religious leaders. Current evangelicalism has (to change the figure) laid the altar and divided the sacrifice into parts, but now seems satisfied to count the stones and rearrange the pieces with never a care that there is not a sign of fire upon the top of lofty Carmel. But God be thanked that there are a few who care  (A W Tozer Quotes) Milton's terrible sentence applies to our day as accurately as it did to his: "The hungry sheep look up, and are not fed."  (A W Tozer Quotes) How tragic that we in this dark day have had our seeking done for us by our teachers. Everything is made to center upon the initial act of "accepting" Christ (a term, incidentally, which is not found in the Bible) and we are not expected thereafter to crave any further revelation of God to our souls  (A W Tozer Quotes) One important point many fail to understand is that the Bible was never meant to replace God; rather, it was meant to lead us into the heart of God. Too many Christians stop with the text and never go on to experience the presence of God  (A W Tozer Quotes) God's gifts now take the place of God, and the whole course of nature is upset by the monstrous substitution  (A W Tozer Quotes) Among the famous sayings of the Church fathers none is better known than Augustine's, "Thou hast formed us for Thyself, and our hearts are restless till they find rest in Thee."  (A W Tozer Quotes) Social religion is perfected when private religion is purified. The body becomes stronger as its members become healthier. The whole Church of God gains when the members that compose it begin to seek a better and a higher life  (A W Tozer Quotes) Christ, and after that everything is “automatic. ” This is because of our failure to lay a scriptural emphasis in our evangelical preaching. In our eagerness to make converts, we allow our believers to absorb the idea that they can deal with their  (A W Tozer Quotes) Of all, we have made the Word of Truth conform to our experience and accepted this low plane as the very pasture of the blessed. It will require a determined heart and more than a little courage to wrench ourselves loose from the grip of our times and return to Biblical ways. But it can be done. Every now and then in the past Christians have had to do it. History has recorded several large-scale returns led by such men as St. Francis, Martin Luther and George Fox. Unfortunately there  (A W Tozer Quotes) There is today no lack of Bible teachers to set forth correctly the principles of the doctrines of Christ, but too many of these seem satisfied to teach the fundamentals of the faith year after year, strangely unaware that there is in their ministry no manifest Presence, nor anything unusual in their personal lives  (A W Tozer Quotes) Christianity has been watered down until the solution is so weak that if it were poison it would not hurt anyone, and if it were medicine it would not cure anyone  (A W Tozer Quotes) At the root of the Christian life lies belief in the invisible. The object of the Christian's faith is unseen reality  (A W Tozer Quotes) God Himself is here waiting our response to His Presence. This eternal world will come alive to us the moment we begin to reckon upon its reality  (A W Tozer Quotes) It is not what a man does that determines whether his work is sacred or secular, it is why he does it  (A W Tozer Quotes) The truth of Wesley's words is established before our eyes: "Orthodoxy, or right opinion, is, at best, a very slender part of religion. Though right tempers cannot subsist without right opinions, yet right opinions may subsist without right tempers. There may be a right opinion of God without either love or one right temper toward Him. Satan is a proof of this."  (A W Tozer Quotes) I see the time coming when all the holy men whose eyes have been opened by the Spirit will desert worldly Evangelicalism, one by one  (A W Tozer Quotes) As long as Christ sits on the mediatorial throne every day is a good day and all days are days of salvation  (A W Tozer Quotes) The simplicity which is in Christ is rarely found among us. In its stead are programs, methods, organizations and a world of nervous activity activities which occupy time and attention but can never satisfy the longing of the heart  (A W Tozer Quotes) The Presence and the manifestation of the Presence are not the same. There can be the one without the other. God is here when we are wholly unaware of it. He is manifest only when and as we are aware of His Presence  (A W Tozer Quotes) Those who seek the deeper Christian life and those who want the riches that are in Christ Jesus the Lord seek no place, no wealth, no things, only Christ  (A W Tozer Quotes) We need not fear that in seeking God only we may narrow our lives or restrict the motions of our expanding hearts. The opposite is true. We can well afford to make God our All, to concentrate, to sacrifice the many for the One  (A W Tozer Quotes) Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wandered so long. In Jesus' name, Amen  (A W Tozer Quotes) To most people God is an inference, not a reality. He is a deduction from evidence which they consider adequate; but He remains personally unknown to the individual  (A W Tozer Quotes) What we need to restore power to the Christian testimony is not soft talk about brotherhood but an honest recognition that two human races occupy the earth simultaneously: a fallen race that sprang from the loins of Adam and a regenerate race that is born of the Spirit through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus  (A W Tozer Quotes) For myself, I long ago decided that I would rather know the truth than be happy in ignorance. If I cannot have both truth and happiness, give me truth. We'll have a long time to be happy in heaven  (A W Tozer Quotes) Not facts, not scientific knowledge, but eternal Truth delivers men, and that eternal Truth became flesh to dwell among us. This is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent  (A W Tozer Quotes) The man that believes will obey; failure to obey is convincing proof that there is not true faith present. To attempt the impossible God must give faith or there will be none, and He gives faith to the obedient heart only. Where real repentance is, there is obedience; for repentance is not only sorrow for past failures and sins, it is a determination to begin now to do the will of God as He reveals it to us  (A W Tozer Quotes)
