A.W. Tozer Quotes | Quotes said by A.W. Tozer

  • A.W. Tozer Quote #1

    One of the purest souls ever to live on this fallen planet was Nicholas Herman, known as Brother Lawrence. He wrote very little, but what he wrote has seemed to several generations of Christians to be so rare and so beautiful as to deserve a place near the top among the world's great books of devotion. The writings of Brother Lawrence are the ultimate in simplicity; ideas woven like costly threads to make a pattern of great beauty.

    [D]on't try to know everything. You can't. Find Him in the Word, for the Holy Ghost wrote this Book. He inspired it, and He will be revealed in its pages.

  • A.W. Tozer Quote #3

    [The Church] has lived through its early travails and has now come to accept an easier way of life. It is content to carry on its painless program with enough money to pay its bills and a membership large enough to assure its future. Its members now look to it for security rather than for guidance in the battle between good and evil. It has become a school instead of a barracks. Its members are students, not soldiers. They study the experiences of others instead of seeking new experiences of their own.

  • A.W. Tozer Quote #4

    A God less than sovereign could not bestow moral freedom upon His creatures. He would be afraid to do so.

  • A.W. Tozer Quote #5

    A man by his sin may waste himself, which is to waste that which on earth is most like God. This is man's greatest tragedy and God's heaviest grief.

  • A.W. Tozer Quote #6

    All nature has come to expect from God a sense of orderliness. Whatever God does carries with it His fingerprint. And in the world around us His fingerprint of orderliness is evident to anybody who is honest with the facts. If you look at nature, you will discover a mathematical exactness. Without this precision, the entire world would be in utter confusion. One plus one always equals two no matter what part of the universe you happen to be in. And the laws of nature operate in beautiful harmony, a harmony that is ordered by God Himself.

  • A.W. Tozer Quote #7

    Always, everywhere God is present, and always He seeks to discover Himself to each one

  • A.W. Tozer Quote #8

    Any faith that does not command the one who holds it is not a real belief; it is a pseudo belief only. And it might shock some of us profoundly if we were brought suddenly face to face with our beliefs and forced to test them in the fires of practical living.

  • A.W. Tozer Quote #9

    Any faith that does not command the one who holds it is not a real belief; it is a pseudo belief only. And it might shock some of us profoundly if we were brought suddenly face to face with our beliefs and forced to test them in the fires of practical living.

    Many of us Christians have become extremely skillful in arranging our lives so as to admit the truth
    of Christianity without being embarrassed by its implications.

  • A.W. Tozer Quote #10

    Any faith that must be supported by the evidence of the senses is not real faith.

  • A.W. Tozer Quote #11

    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.

  • A.W. Tozer Quote #12

    As the sailor locates his position on the sea by shooting the sun, so we may get our moral bearings by looking at God. We must begin with God.

  • A.W. Tozer Quote #13

    As water cannot rise higher than its source, so the moral quality in an act can never be higher than the motive that inspires it. For this reason no act that arises from an evil motive can be good, even though some good may appear to come out of it. Every deed done out of anger or spite, for instance, will be found at last to have been done for the enemy and against the kingdom of God.

  • A.W. Tozer Quote #14

    But be sure that human feelings can never be completely stilled. If they are forbidden from their normal course, like a river they will cut another channel through the life and flow out to curse and ruin and destroy

  • A.W. Tozer Quote #15

    But when, through the open door of the cross and the name and power of Jesus Christ, I commend myself to the Father's heart, then God cancels all my past, accepts all my present, swears His holy name for my future and the love of God take me over. Then fear goes out of my heart, because love has come in.

  • A.W. Tozer Quote #16

    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 Quote #17

    Christians don't tell lies they just go to church and sing them.

  • A.W. Tozer Quote #18

    Complacency is a deadly foe of all spiritual growth. Acute desire must be present or there will be no manifestation of Christ to His people. He waits to be wanted. Too bad that with many of us He waits so long, so very long, in vain.

  • A.W. Tozer Quote #19

    Contemporaries relate that hearing Martin Luther pray was an experience in theology. They said the reformer began praying with such humility that he could be pitied, only to proceed with such boldness before God that the human hearer would fear for him.

  • A.W. Tozer Quote #20

    Deity indwelling men! That, I say is Christianity!

  • A.W. Tozer Quote #21

    Did you ever stop to think that God is going to be as pleased to have you with Him in Heaven as you are to be there?

  • A.W. Tozer Quote #22

    Eschatology is the dustbin into which we sweep everything we don't want. To believe. We believe that the Lord will manifest Himself to men, but He'll do it tomorrow, or the day after, or the next millennium.

  • A.W. Tozer Quote #23

    Everything God does has purpose and intention behind that design. It is a master design, and every little thing has its proper place and function.

  • A.W. Tozer Quote #24

    Faith is an organ of knowledge, and love an organ of experience.

  • A.W. Tozer Quote #25

    Faith is the gaze of a soul upon a saving God.

  • A.W. Tozer Quote #26

    For this great sickness that is upon us no one person is responsible, and no Christian is wholly free from blame. We have all contributed, directly or indirectly, to this sad state of affairs. We have been too blind to see, or too timid to speak out, or too self-satisfied to desire anything better than the poor average diet with which others appear satisfied.

  • A.W. Tozer Quote #27

    God never hurries. There are no deadlines against which he must work. Only to know this is to quiet our spirits and relax our nerves.

  • A.W. Tozer Quote #28

    God sovereignly decreed that man should be free to exercise moral choice, and man from the beginning has fulfilled that decree by making his choice between good and evil. When he chooses to do evil, he does not thereby countervail the sovereign will of God but fulfills it, inasmuch as the eternal decree decided not which choice the man should make but that he should be free to make it. If in His absolute freedom God has willed to give man limited freedom, who is there to stay His hand or say, 'What doest thou?' Man’s will is free because God is sovereign. A God less than sovereign could not bestow moral freedom upon His creatures. He would be afraid to do so.

  • A.W. Tozer Quote #29

    God wants the whole person and He will not rest till He gets us in entirety. No part of the man will do (101) - The Pursuit of God

  • A.W. Tozer Quote #30

    Has it ever occurred to you that one hundred pianos all tuned to the same fork are automatically tuned to each other? They are of one accord by being tuned, not to each other, but to another standard to which each one must individually bow. So one hundred worshipers met together, each one looking away to Christ, are in heart nearer to each other than they could possibly be, were they to become 'unity' conscious and turn their eyes away from God to strive for closer fellowship.
