“Tozer’s sermons were never shallow,” writes Snyder. “There was hard thinking behind them, and [he] forced his hearers to think with him. He had the ability to make his listeners face themselves in the light of what God was saying to them.

His life and spiritual legacy continue to draw many into a deeper knowledge of God. Tozer walked a path in his spiritual life that few attempt, characterized by a relentless and loving pursuit of God. He longed to know more about the Savior—how to serve and worship Him with every part of his being.

Throughout his life and ministry, Tozer called believers to return to an authentic, biblical position that characterized the early church—a position of deep faith and holiness.

Everything Tozer taught and preached came out of the time he spent in prayer with God. It was there that he shut out the world and its confusion, focusing instead only on God. “Our religious activities should be ordered in such a way as to leave plenty of time for the cultivation of the fruits of solitude and silence,” wrote Tozer.

He realized early in his ministry that Christ was calling him to a different type of devotion—one that required an emptying of self and a hunger to be filled to overflowing with God’s Spirit. It was also a devotion that consumed him throughout his life.

How can we present an uncompromising Saviour to a dying world through a compromised witness?

We can’t.

The challenged I have had with the so-called ’seeker sensitive’ deal, is that people don’t appear to be sensitive to the greatest need that mankind has.

We are all sinners and have fallen short of God and are in desperate need of salvation and redemption.

Compromising the truth and sugar coating the price never seemed to make sense to me.

I have never met anyone turned off  of Christianity by Christ. I have met a whole bunch turned off of Christianity by the church.

I don’t think the issue is Christ, but us. What an unbelieving world finds unbelievable is that Christians acknowledge Jesus with their lips but deny Him with their life.

The USA today had a headline that made the statement that 40% of people are experiencing increased anxiety because of the current economic climate…or rather I would say because of the media’s dedication and commitment to the philosophy that the only good news is bad news.

On Sunday Night I am going to preach a message entitled “How Much Faith Do You Need?”

I want to help you see and truly understand how you can get the faith you need, all the faith you want and help dispell the myth that you can never have enough faith in times like these.

Look forward to seeing you there.
