We Must Be Clean People – AW Tozer

I do not preach any new truth. I do not have any new doctrine … We must have a revival that will mean purity of heart as a normal standard for everybody. We must be clean people, and not only clean outside.

The Way of Simplicity – AW Tozer

If we would find God amid all the religious externals we must first determine to find him, and then proceed in the way of simplicity.  …We must put away all effort to impress, and come with the guileless candor of childhood. If we do this, without doubt God will quickly respond.

The Old Cross – AW Tozer

The old cross is a symbol of death. It stands for the abrupt, violent end of a human being. The man in Roman times who took up his cross and started down the road had already said good-bye to his friends. He was not coming back. He was going out to have it ended. The cross made no compromise, modified nothing, spared nothing; it slew all of the man, completely and for good. It did not try to keep on good terms with its victim. It struck cruel and hard, and when it had finished its work, the man was no more.
