GREAT QUOTES
A.W. TOZER
Some favorite
A. W. Tozer quotes:
"I want the
presence of God Himself, or I donīt want anything at all to do with religion. You would never get me interested in the old
maidsī social club with a little bit of Christianity thrown in to give it respectability. I want all that God has, or I donīt
want any."
-from 'The
Counselor'
"I wonder
also how many Christians in our day have truly and completely abandoned themselves to Jesus Christ as their Lord. We are very
busy telling people to "accept Christ"-and that seems to be the only word we are using. We arrange a painless acceptance."
-from 'Who Put Jesus on the Cross?'
"The world
lives in such a time of crisis. Christians alone are in a position to rescue the perishing. We dare not settle down to try
to live as if things were normal."
-from 'Born After Midnight'
"But a lot
of people have gone too far and have written books and poetry that gets everybody believing that God is so kind and loving
and gentle. God is so kind that infinity wonīt measure it. And God is so loving that He is immeasurably loving. But God is
also holy and just."
-from 'The
Attributes of God, Volume One'
"In some circles,
God has been abridged, reduced, modified, edited, changed and amended until He is no longer the God whom Isaiah saw, high
and lifted up."
-from 'Whatever Happened to Worship?'
"No matter
what the circumstances, we Christians should keep our heads. God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, of love
and of a sound mind. It is a dismal thing to see a son of heaven cringe in terror before the sons of earth."
-from 'The Warfare of the Spirit'
"Rightly understood,
faith is not a substitute for moral conduct but a means toward it. The tree does not serve in lieu of fruit but as an agent
by which fruit is secured. Fruit, not trees, is the end God has in mind in yonder orchard; so Christ-like conduct is the end
of Christian faith."
-from 'Size
of the Soul'
"The only
fear I have is to fear to get out of the will of God. Outside of the will of God, thereīs nothing I want, and in the will
of God thereīs nothing I fear, for God has sworn to keep me in His will."
-from 'Success
and the Christian: The Cost of Spiritual Maturity'
