“The low view of God entertained almost universally among Christians is the cause of a hundred lesser evils everywhere among us.
The words, ‘Be still, and know that I am God,’ mean next to nothing to the self-confident, bustling worshiper in this middle period of the twentieth century.”

Mr. Tozer spitting facts in the preface 🔥 Excited to dig into this one.

“He will come for me and then we will be gone, and you will be helpless for all your hunting, because Westley and I are joined by the bond of love and you cannot track that, not with a thousand bloodhounds, and you cannot break it, not with a thousand swords." 🔥🔥🔥

“The quick pain of truth can pass away, but the slow, eating agony of a lie is never lost.”

“To be right with God the Judge is a great thing, but to be loved and cared for by God the Father is a greater.”

“We are not making up an idea of God by drawing on our imagination; we are seeking instead to listen to the words of Holy Scripture, in which God himself tells us the truth about himself.

He has spoken through many human agents and messengers—and supremely through his Son, Jesus Christ.”

In the chapter on God’s love: “When we looked at God's wisdom, we saw something of his mind; when we thought of his power, we saw something of his hand and his arm; when we considered his word, we learned about his mouth; but now, contemplating his love, we are to look into his heart. We shall stand on holy ground; we need the grace of reverence, that we may tread it without sin.”
