Mornings with Tozer
One of things I’m most looking forward to come January 1 is starting a new devotional that I was given for Christmas. It’s called Mornings with Tozer. It’s a 366 day devotional that takes you through the best moments in all of his writing.
I started reading Tozer’s writings back when I was in high school, and he did much to fuel my spiritual growth. I got my hands on his more notable works like Pursuit of God, Knowledge of the Holy, and Whatever Happened to Worship.
Tozer was mid-century Christian mystic who was never quite satisfied with trite Christianity. He had a passion for the Presence of God. When I read Tozer, I’m till caught off guard when I remind myself that these books were written in the 1950’s. His words are about the state of the church are as true today as when he wrote them. Here’s a few great quotes…
“Much that passes for New Testament Christianity is little more that objective truth sweetened with song and made palatable by religious entertainment.”
― A.W. Tozer
“To have found God and still to pursue Him is the soul’s paradox of love, scorned indeed by the too-easily-satisfied religionist but justified in happy experience by the children of the burning heart.”
― A.W. Tozer
“One hundred religious persons knit into a unity by careful organization do not constitute a church any more than eleven dead men make a football team.”
― A.W. Tozer
