Two things have been on my mind for quite some time, one more than the other.
The first is OBEDIENCE and the second is THE LOVE OF GOD.
Not long ago I started reading a book written by A. W. Tozer and I am really encouraged. Please find out why!
1. OBEDIENCE
For a long time I have been thinking that I have learned quite a bit and I am learning more and more, but I am asking myself, “Am I obedient to all the teaching I have received so far? What about my obedience?”
Listen to what A. W. Tozer says: “Theological truth is useless until it is obeyed.The purpose behind all doctrine is to secure moral action!”
2. THE LOVE OF GOD
If you want to be critized all you need to say or write is that we are overemphasizing the love of God.
Listen to what W. A. Tozer says: “It is sad but true that the love of God affects the carnal heart not at all; or if at all, then adversely, for the knowledge that God loves us may simply confirm us in our self-righteousness!”
A. W. Tozer died in 1963, but he is still speaking through his books and it is good to learn from him.
It is always exciting and encouaraging to learn what the Holy Spirit has taught the Church in the past through his servants. Praise the Lord!
