The Pursuit of God

The following posts will be mostly based on this book by A. W. Tozer.

"Current evangelicalism has laid the altar and divided the sacrifice into parts, but now seems satisfied to count the stones and rearrange the peices with never a care that there is not a sign of fire upon the top of lofty carmel."

Milton: "The hungry sheep look up and are not fed."
It is a solemn thing to see God's children starving while actually seated at the Father's table.

Wesley: "Orthodoxy, or right opinion, is, at best, a very slender part of religion. Though right tempers cannot subsist without right opinions, yet right opinions may subsist without right tempers. There may be a right opinion of God without either love or one right temper towards Him. Satan is a proof of this."

It is not mere words that nourish the soul, but God Himself, and unless and until the hearers find God in personal experience, they are not the better for having heard the truth. 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 centre of their hearts.
