Wise leaders should have known that the human heart cannot exist in a vacuum. If Christians are forbidden to enjoy the wine of the Spirit they will turn to the wine of the flesh… Christ died for our hearts and the Holy Spirit wants to come and satisfy them.

A.W. Tozer
Aiden Wilson Tozer (1897–1963) war ein US-amerikanischer Pastor und Publizist der Christian and Missionary Alliance, der vor allem in Chicago und Toronto wirkte. Seine Schriften betonen die persönliche Ehrfurcht vor Gottes Heiligkeit, eine innige Gebetspraxis und eine scharfe Kritik an kirchlicher Oberflächlichkeit. Heutigen Bibellesern dient er als Mahner zu geistlicher Tiefe, wenngleich Biografen auf die gravierende Vernachlässigung seiner Familie infolge seines asketischen Arbeitspensums hinweisen.
