Quotation of the day

Happiness is nothing but that inward sweet delight, which will arise from the harmonious agreement between our wills and the will of God.—From the book "Joy and Strength," quoted in Tozer on the Holy Spirit

We Must Practice the Truth

A man who practices the truth "will have two heavens - a heaven of joy, peace, and comfort on earth, anda heaven of glory and happiness after death."  Thomas Brooks

How To Read

IIt is not hasty reading, but serious meditating upon holy and heavenly truths that makes them prove sweet and profitable to the soul.  It is not he who reads most, but he who meditates most, that will prove the choicest, sweetest, wisest, and strongest Christian.  Thomas Brooks

True Riches

Every parcel of truth is precious, worth more than heaven and earth.  By it a man will live happily, die comfortably, and reign eternally.  Thomas Brooks.

More from Tozer on God Almighty

Progress in the Christian life is exactly equal to the growing knowledge we gain of the Triune God in personal experience. And such experience requires a whole life devoted to it and plenty of time spent at the holy task of cultivating God. God can be know satisfactorily only as we devote time to Him.

The Bible is not an end in itself, but a means to bring men to an intimate and satisfying knowledge of God, that they may enter into Him, that they may delight in His Presence, may taste and know the inner sweetness of the very God Himself in the core and center of their hearts.

God communicates to us through the avenues of our minds, our wills, and our emotions. The continuous and unembarrassed interchange of love and thought between God and the soul of redeemed man is the throbbing heart of New Testament religion.

Brother Mark is spending every free moment studying for the state test for the nursing home administrator license. Please pray that I will pass the test on Thursday.

More thoughts from A. W. Tozer

In what I have to say I may not be joined by any ground swell of opinion, but I have a charge to make against the Church. We are not consciously aware of God in our midst. We do not seem to sense the tragedy of having almost completely lost the awareness of His presence. I say this not to condemn. I say it with a grieving spirit. I pray that the churches in this day may yet reap the joys and fruits of gracious revival and the deep inward awareness of God's presence.

Some thoughts from Tozer

Of all of the calamities that have been visited upon the world and its inhabitants, the willing surrender of the human spirit to materialistic values is the worst! We who were meant to commune with the Creator God have decided to settle down here. As well might the eagle leave his lofty domain to scratch in the barnyard with the common hens.
