"God being who He is must always be sought for Himself, never as a means toward something else."
"Whoever seeks God as a means toward desired ends will not find God. The mighty God, the maker of heaven and earth, will not be one of many treasures, not even the chief of all treasures. He will be all in all or He will be nothing. God will not be used."
A.W. Tozer

"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."
"When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or superior wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified."
