All AIDEN WILSON TOZER Quotes about “Christianity”

“We Christians must simplify our lives or lose untold treasures on earth and in eternity. Modern civilization is so complex as to make the devotional life all but impossible. The need for solitude and quietness was never greater than it is today.”
“The man who has been taught by the Holy Spirit will be a seer rather than a scholar. The difference is that the scholar sees and the seer sees through; and that is a mighty difference indeed.”
“The unbelieving mind would not be convinced by any proof, and the worshiping heart needs none.”
“I believe that the imperative need of the day is not simply revival, but a radical reformation that will go to the root of our moral and spiritual maladies and deal with causes rather than with consequences, with the disease rather than with symptoms.”
“The church has lost her testimony. She has no longer anything to say to the world. Her once robust shout of assurance has faded away to an apologetic whisper. She who one time went out to declare now goes out to inquire. Her dogmatic declaration has become a respectful suggestion, a word of religious advice, given with the understanding that it is after all only an opinion and not meant to sound bigoted. Pure Christianity, instead of being shaped by its culture, actually stands in sharp opposition to it.”
“Our mistake is that we want God to send revival on our terms. We want to get the power of God into our hands, to call it to us that it may work for us in promoting and furthering our kind of Christianity. We want still to be in charge, guiding the chariot through the religious sky in the direction we want it to go, shouting "Glory to God," but modestly accepting a share of the glory for ourselves in a nice inoffensive sort of way. We are calling on God to send fire on our altars, completely ignoring the fact that they are OUR altars and not God's.”
“Christians don't tell lies they just go to church and sing them.”
“A pharisee is hard on others and easy on himself, but a spiritual man is easy on others and hard on himself.”
“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.”
“Christianity takes for granted the absence of any self-help and offers a power which is nothing less than the power of God.”
“Very few things in life matter.”
“In every generation the number of the righteous is small. Be sure you are among them.”
“There has been grave error. I do not mean so much error of doctrine as error of emphasis.”
“It is no sin to doubt some things, but it may be fatal to believe everything.”
“Christianity at any given time is strong or weak depending upon her concept of God.”
“Religion today is not transforming people; rather it is being transformed by the people. It is not raising the moral level of society; it is descending to society's own level, and congratulating itself that it has scored a victory because society is smilingly accepting its surrender.”
“Our religious activities should be ordered in such a way as to have plenty of time for the cultivation of the fruits of solitude and silence.”
“What is needed desperately today is prophetic insight. Scholars can interpret the past; it takes prophets to interpret the present.”
“Christianity is hard when we try to serve God in man's way instead of serving God in God's way.”
