Tozer on knowing God.
Let a Christian insist upon rising above the poor average of current religious experience and he will soon come up against the need to know God Himself as the ultimate goal of all Christian doctrine. Let him seek to explore the sacred wonders of the Triune Godhead and he will discover that sustained and intelligently directed meditation on the Person of God is imperative. To know God well he must think on Him unceasingly. Nothing that man has discovered about himself or God has revealed any short cut to pure spirituality. It is still free, but tremendously costly.

Spurgeon on devotion in being saved.
The believer did not always live to Christ. He began to do so when God
the Holy Spirit convinced him of sin, and when by grace he was brought
to see the dying Saviour making a propitiation for his guilt. From the
moment of the new and celestial birth the man begins to live to Christ.
Jesus is to believers the one pearl of great price, for whom we are
willing to part with all that we have. He has so completely won our
love, that it beats alone for him; to his glory we would live, and in
defence of his gospel we would die; he is the pattern of our life, and
the model after which we would sculpture our character. -Charles H Spurgeon
AW Tozer on politics...
It is not complimentary to the masses that they are so easily led, but
we are not interested in praising or blaming; we are concerned for
truth, and the truth is that for better or for worse religious people
follow leaders. A good man may change the moral complexion of a whole
nation; or a corrupt and worldly clergy may lead a nation into
bondage.... -AW Tozer
Amos 5
Hate evil, love good; maintain justice in the courts. Perhaps the Lord God Almighty will have mercy on the remnant of Joseph. -From Amos 5, The Bible Gateway verse of the day.
