Tozer said, “…when the Holy Spirit is not present in the church, you have to get along after the methods of business, or politics or psychology or human effort.” He also described present-day Christians well when he wrote, “…the busiest bunch of eager beavers ever seen in the religious world. The idea seems to be that if we are not running in a circle, breathing down the back of our own neck, we are not pleasing God.”
"To keep a broken pot filled with water, one must keep the pot under the faucet."
"Our greatest fear should not be that we fail, but that we succeed in something that does not matter."
"Our problem is that, instead of being radical disciples of Jesus, we're just
folks who love going to church." "God isnt after our deliverance as much as He is our development." --Stephen Davey
"A determined man can do more with a rusty monkey wrench than a lazy man will with all the tools in the machine shop."
--Robert Hughes "I can’t tell you how many people have said to me over the years something like, 'I’m not very good at talking about Christ, so I just live it.' There’s an ancient 2-syllable Hebrew word for that, you know . . . It’s the word, 'cop-out!'...Has it ever occurred to you that no one will ever be saved just by watching you? Sure, it’s important to live in a way that lines up with your message. But if people don’t know why you’re living the way you are, they’ll most likely give you the credit. The only way they can see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven is if you give glory to the Father in heaven. Paul says in Romans 10:17 that Faith comes by hearing the word of God. It doesn’t come by watching; it doesn’t come by observing; it comes by hearing."
" The servant never sets the agenda—the master does."
--Henry Blackaby "The key to praising God is not in the volume, nor in the boisterousness of your praise...it is in the depth of the worship coming from within."
