Some Gems From Tozer:

These excerpts are taken from A.W. Tozer's "The Knowledge of the Holy" (1961):

"What comes to our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us."

"Always the most revealing thing about the Church is her idea of God, just as her most significant message is what she says about Him or leaves unsaid, for her silence is often more eloquent than her speech."

"The essence of idolatry is the entertainment of thoughts about God that are unworthy of Him."

"Wrong ideas about God are not only the fountain from which the polluted waters of idolatry flow; they are themselves idolatrous."

"The first step down for any church is taken when it surrenders its high opinion of God."

I would love to have written something original, but these words were so well chosen that I felt I must share them as is.  -RG
