Just
read a book called Keys to the Deeper Life by A. W. Tozer. It is a book compiled from material
from a series of articles written by him and published in Christian Life magazine. The following excerpts are only a
token treasure from this book.
Revival: “Wherever, a careless, fleshly
Christian suddenly pulls his life together, turns on himself and seeks the face
of God in penitence and tears, you have the beginning of a personal revival.”
Evangelicalism: “…the believer’s true ambition should
not be success but saintliness.
They must see that they are not called to imitate the world, but to
renounce it…”
“Never forget, God is on the side of the
thirsty saint. You do not need to
persuade Him to meet you. He is
already persuaded. Just dare to
trust Him.”
“Worldliness
has become epidemic in evangelical circles.” “Hollywood now has more influence than Jerusalem every
had. Youth take for their examples
not the saints of old but the stars of today.” (Written in August 1954!!)
Deeper
Life: “…the result of a crisis…” “…spiritual life with an
intensity of purity and fruitfulness far in advance of that of the average
Christian life. It involves complete
separation from the world, not only in practice but in spirit, and a full
devotion to God without reservation.”
More
to come! Stay tuned!
