The spiritual man habitually makes eternity-judgments instead of time-judgments. By faith he rises above the tug of earth and the flow of time and learns to think and feel as one who has already left the world and gone to join the innumerable company of angels and the general assembly and Church of the First-born which are written in heaven. Such a man would rather be useful than famous and would rather serve than be served. And all this must be by the operation of the Holy Spirit within him. No man can become spiritual by himself. Only the free Spirit can make a man spiritual.

If you will not worship God seven days a week, you do not worship Him one day a week.

The idea that God will pardon a rebel who has not given up his rebellion is contrary both to the Scriptures and to common sense. How horrible to contemplate a church full of persons who have been pardoned but who still love sin and hate the ways of righteousness. And how much more horrible to think of heaven as filled with sinners who had not repented nor changed their way of living.

A.W. Tozer (Pastor, Preacher)

When the Holy Spirit is in full control of our lives, He will expect our obedience to the written Word of God. But it is part of our human problem that we would like to be full of the Spirit and yet go on and do as we please!

A.W. Tozer (Pastor, Preacher)

To understand a Bible text it takes an act of the Holy Spirit equal to the act that inspired the text in the first place. A revelation of the Holy Spirit in one glorious flash of inward illumination would teach you more of Jesus than five years in a theological seminary.

Unbelief is actually perverted faith, for it puts its faith not in the living God, but in dying men.

A.W. Tozer (Pastor, Preacher)

Whatever keeps me from my Bible is my enemy, however harmless it may appear to be.

A.W. Tozer (Pastor, Preacher)

So, it becomes the devil’s business to keep the Christian’s spirit imprisoned. He knows that the believing and justified Christian has been raised up out of the grave of his sins. From that point on, Satan works that much harder to keep us bound and gagged, in our own grave clothes. He knows that if we continue in this kind of bondage…we are not much better off than when we were spiritually dead.

A.W. Tozer (Pastor, Preacher)

The victorious Christian neither exalts nor downgrades himself. His interests have shifted from self to Christ.

A.W. Tozer (Pastor, Preacher)

What’s closest to your heart is what you talk about, and if God is close to your heart, you’ll talk about Him.
