Great Quotes from A.W. Tozer (“Accepting” or “Receiving”?)

“The Bible knows absolutely nothing about passive reception, for the word receive is not passive— it is active. We make the word receive into accept. Everyone goes around asking, “Will you accept Jesus? Will you accept Him?” This makes a brush salesman out of Jesus Christ, as though He meekly stands waiting to know whether we will patronize Him or not. Although we desperately need what he proffers, we are sovereignly deciding whether we will receive Him or not.”

Great Quote from A.W. Tozer on God’s Word!

“Whatever keeps me from my 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. Let the cares of life crowd out the Scriptures from my mind and I have suffered loss where I can least afford it. Let me accept anything else instead of the Scriptures and I have been cheated and robbed to my eternal confusion.” (A.W. Tozer, That Incredible Christian)
