Sensitive to the Lord’s presence – AW Tozer

Do you find your own heart sensitive to the Lord’s presence, or are you among those who are “samplers” and “nibblers”? God help you if you are, for the child of the King isn’t a sampler and a nibbler—he’s a sheep who loves his Shepherd, and he stays close to his Shepherd. That’s the only safe place for a sheep—at the Shepherd’s side, because the devil doesn’t fear sheep—he just fears the Shepherd. Your spiritual safety and well-being lies in being near to the Shepherd. Stay close to Jesus and all of the wolves in the world cannot get a tooth in you.

The church would go on – AW Tozer


If God were to take the Holy Spirit out of this world, much of what the church is doing would go right on; and nobody would know the difference.

Moral Freedom – AW Tozer

A God less than sovereign could not bestow moral freedom upon His creatures. He would be afraid to do so.

Giving up rebellion – AW Tozer

Giving up rebellion – AW Tozer

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.

Meekness is His method – AW Tozer

Meekness is His method – AW Tozer

Jesus calls us to His rest, and meekness is His method. The meek man cares not at all who is greater than he, for he has long ago decided that the esteem of the world is not worth the effort.

True spiritual worship – AW Tozer

True spiritual worship – AW Tozer

I wonder if there was ever a time when true spiritual worship was at a lower ebb. To great sections of the church, the art of worship has been lost entirely, and in its place has come that strange and foreign thing called the “program.” This word has been borrowed from the stage and applied with sad wisdom to the public service which now passes for worship among us.
