I recommend that the self-examination be made on our knees (in prayer), rising to obey God's commandments as they are revealed to us from the Word. There is nothing romantic or colorful about this plain, downright way of dealing with ourselves, but it gets the work done. -Tozer

We must come to the Word with the simple faith of a child, ready to believe it whether we can understand it or not. And, we must obey the truth as we see it, trusting God with the consequences. -Tozer

In happier & holier times conversion was held to be (among other blessed things) an immediate acquaintance with God in living, spiritual experience. This came about as the result of the Word preached in the power of the Spirit. -Tozer

Soul-winning by persons who have not met the test of obedience to the Word of Christ must inevitably produce other professing Christians of the same spiritual stripe. Missions carried on by persons not spiritually endued can but transplant an effete Christianity on foreign shore

A Christian's one question in any set of circumstances is “What does God think of this?” Nothing else matters. What the current popular attitude may be is of no importance. He will approve or disapprove altogether as the written Word & the indwelling Spirit indicate. -Tozer

No man knows enough to be sure he is right about divine things until he has submitted his ideas to the test of the Scriptures. Intelligence is not enough, nor experience nor brilliance. The Word of God is the final court of appeal. -Tozer

No man is a good preacher who is not willing to lay his future on the line every time he expounds the Word. He must let his job & his reputation ride on each & every sermon or he has no right to think that he stands in the prophetic tradition. -Tozer

I turn frequently with considerable pleasure to Charles Wesley's poetic commentary ... Wesley admits that many of his thoughts are gleaned from others, but a deep reverence permeates the whole & a glowing love for God & the inspired Word breathes on every page. -Tozer

The wise Christian will watch for opportunities to do good, to speak the life-bringing word to sinners, to pray the rescuing prayer of intercession. -Tozer

Whatever keeps me from the Bible is my enemy, however harmless it may appear to be. Whatever engages my attention when I should be meditating on God and things eternal does injury to my soul. —AW Tozer

Let the cares of life crowd out the Scriptures from my mind & I have suffered loss where I can least afford it. Let me accept anything else instead of the Scriptures & I have been cheated & robbed to my eternal confusion. —AW Tozer

The Bible is not an end in itself but a means to bring men to an intimate & satisfying knowledge of God, that they may enter into Him, that they may delight in His Presence, may taste & know the inner sweetness of the very God Himself in the core & center of their hearts. -Tozer

The Bible must be read slowly and meditatively, allowing the Spirit of God to open up our understanding. Probably there is no greater offense in all Christendom than speed-reading the Bible. -AW Tozer
