LET…. MY…. PEOPLE…. GO !!

Chapter sixteen

A.W. Tozer did not want followers. He wanted his audience to follow Jesus. (Jesus: “Come, follow Me.”) He pointed to Christ, not christians…. not methods…. not religion…. not Christ-plus not church…. not ministry. No, no, no. Tozer pointed to a Person. a very special Person the very Son of God.

Man – The Dwelling Place of God, A.W. Tozer

Chapter 6: Christianity today is man-centered, not God-centered. God is made to wait patiently, even respectfully, on the whims of men.

Chapter 8: To love God with all our heart we must first of all will to do so.

Chapter 9: The complacency of Christians is the scandal of Christianity.

Chapter 9: They read the lives of the great saints whose fervent desire after God carried them far up the mountain toward spiritual perfection; and for a brief moment they may yearn to be like these fiery souls whose light and fragrance still linger in the world where they once lived and labored. But the longing soon passes. The world is too much with them and the claims of their earthly lives are too insistent; so they settle back to live their ordinary lives, and accept the customary as normal. After a while they manage to achieve some kind of inner content and that is the last we hear of them.

Chapter 9: Set your face like a flint and begin to put your life in order. Every man is as holy as he really wants to be. But the want must be all-compelling.

Chapter 9: Get Christ in the focus of your heart and keep Him there continually. Only in Christ will you find complete fulfillment.

Chapter 9: There is every reason why we should all go forward in our Christian lives and no reason why we should not. Let us go on.

Chapter 14: God being who He is must always be sought for Himself, never as a means toward something else.

Chapter 14: God is never found accidentally. “Ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart” (Jer. 29:13).
