A.B. Simpson (founder of the Christian & Missionary Alliance) said, “The larger the God we know, the larger will be our faith. The secret of power in our lives is to know God and expect great things from him.”

A.W. Tozer said, “Faith in faith is faith astray.”

A.W. Tozer: “Faith never means gullibility. The man who believes everything is as far from God as the man who refuses to believe anything.” Tozer also said, “Without faith it is impossible to please God, but not all faith pleases God.”

A.W. Tozer said, “Every man lives by faith, the nonbeliever as well as the saint; the one by faith in natural laws and the other by faith in God.”
