Pithy quotes from A.W. Tozer #2

    ~  ~  ~  ~

I would rather stand alone and have everybody as my enemy—than to go along with the crowd to Hell!

    ~  ~  ~  ~
 
Everywhere among professors we find people who are Bible-taught, but not Spirit-taught.
They grasp the truth with the mind, not the heart.

    ~  ~  ~  ~

Many professing Christians are caught up with the toys of contemporary society.
They may be going to Hell, but it is going to be a comfortable ride for them.

    ~  ~  ~  ~

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

    ~  ~  ~  ~
 
Saving faith is irrevocable, total commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ Himself!

    ~  ~  ~  ~

Most Christians would be better pleased, if the Lord did not inquire into their personal affairs too closely. They want Him to save them, keep them happy and take them to Heaven at last—but not to be too inquisitive about their desires or daily conduct.

    ~  ~  ~  ~

The church has failed, by living too much like the world!

    ~  ~  ~  ~

The difficulty we modern Christians face, is not misunderstanding the Bible—but persuading our worldly hearts to accept its plain instructions!

    ~  ~  ~  ~

We must do something about the cross, and only one of two things we can do—flee it or die upon it.

    ~  ~  ~  ~

Evangelical Christianity is now tragically below the New Testament standard.

    ~  ~  ~  ~

Worldliness is an accepted part of our way of life.

    ~  ~  ~  ~

We are not producing saints.

    ~  ~  ~  ~

Our models are successful businessmen, celebrated athletes and theatrical personalities.

    ~  ~  ~  ~

The true follower of Christ will not ask, "If I embrace this truth, what will it cost me?"
Rather he will say, "This is truth. God help me to walk in it, let come what may!"
