Aiden Wilson Tozer quotes about
spiritual mean rejection
To accept Christ is to know the meaning of the words 'as he is, so are we in this world.' We accept his friends as our friends, his enemies as our enemies, his ways as our ways, his rejection as our rejection, his cross as our cross, his life as our life and his future as our future. If this is what we mean when we advise the seeker to accept Christ, we had better explain it to him. He may get into deep spiritual trouble unless we do.
crush jesus mean
The burden borne by mankind is a heavy and a crushing thing. The word Jesus used means a load carried or toil borne to the point of exhaustion. Rest is simply release from that burden. It is not something we do, it is what comes to us when we cease to do. His own meekness, that is the rest.
mean errors doctrine
There has been grave error. I do not mean so much error of doctrine as error of emphasis.
mean heaven treasure
Whoever seeks God as a means toward desired ends will not find God. The mighty God, the maker of heaven and earth, will not be one of many treasures, not even the chief of all treasures. He will be all in all or He will be nothing. God will not be used.
mean knowing pages
The sacred page is not meant to be the end, but only the means toward the end, which is knowing God Himself.
believe mean men
Faith never means gullibility. The man who believes everything is as far from God as the man who refuses to believe anything.
teaching mean essence
To avoid the hard necessity of either obeying or rejecting the plain instructions of our Lord in the New Testament we take refuge in a liberal interpretation of them. We evangelicals also know how to avoid the sharp point of obedience by means of fine and intricate explanations. These are tailor-made for the flesh. They excuse disobedience, comfort carnality and make the words of Christ of none effect. And the essence of it all is that Christ simply could not have meant what He said. His teachings are accepted even theoretically only after they have been weakened by interpretation.
mean men light
Light means nothing to a blind man.
mean men knowledge-of-god
The Bible is not an end in itself, but a means to bring men to an intimate and satisfying knowledge of God,
mean hands let-it-go
To pray with your fists closed means you're hanging onto something. Let it go. Open your hands to God.
mean have-confidence
We operate by faith, which means that we have confidence in what God says, whether we fully understand it or not
christian mean men
Christian theology teaches the doctrine of prevenient grace, which briefly stated means this, that before a man can seek God, God must first have sought the man.
mean skills perfect
What is wisdom? It is the skill to achieve the perfect means by the perfect ends
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.
