A.W. Tozer and Simplicity in Christ

A.W. Tozer often spoke of a simple faith focused on Jesus Christ. I hope you find these quotes encouraging as you go about your day and week. Which one in particular speaks to you?



We are in an age of religious complexity. The simplicity which is in Christ is rarely found among us. In its stead are programs, methods, organizations, and a world of nervous activities which occupy time and attention but can never satisfy the longing of the heart.

What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.

Distractions must be conquered or they will conquer us. So let us cultivate simplicity; let us want fewer things; let us walk in the Spirit; let us fill our minds with the Word of God and our hearts with praise. In that way we can live in peace even in such a distraught world as this.

The man who would truly know God must give time to Him.

God never hurries. There are no deadlines against which He must work. Only to know this is to quiet our spirits and relax our nerves.

Let us believe that God is in all our simple deeds, and learn to find him there.

    I needed these, thank you! Each one hit home, but I am especially prone to distractions. The Lord said to me, (in one of those wakeful times in the middle of the night), I am jealous for you – I want you to want me like I want you. He is so faithful.

      Hi Deb,

      Thank you for letting me know this post blessed you. I thought the quotes were so good.

      I’ve been challenged of late to really focus more on Jesus specifically. For some reason I tend to focus more on God the Father. But I’m thinking a lot more about Jesus because of all the learning I’m doing related to the other website. I’ve spent way more time thinking about Jesus and what He said in the Gospels, in particular. It’s been a blessing.

      Good to hear from you!
      Sallie

For 20+ years, I’ve been writing about following Jesus Christ and making choices based on what is true, beautiful, and eternal. Through purposeful living, self-employment, and homeschooling, our family has learned that freedom comes from a commitment to examine all of life and think for yourself. 

I hope you will join me here where we discuss all of life each day.

A Christian Nation

"The real object of the first amendment was not to countenance, much less to advance, Mahometanism, or Judaism, or infidelity, by prostrating Christianity; but to exclude all rivalry among christian sects, and to prevent any national ecclesiastical establishment, which should give to a hierarchy the exclusive patronage of the national government."

Joseph Story (Associate Justice of the Supreme Court), Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States (1833), § 1871.

countenance: To favor; to encourage by opinion or words; To encourage; to appear in defense (Websters Dictionary 1828)
