If it were poison it would not hurt anyone

Treasures from Tozer!

(A.W. Tozer, 1897-1963)


"Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ!" Galatians 1:10 

This is one of the marks of our modern time — that many are guilty of merely "nibbling" at the truth of the Christian gospel.

In many ways, the preaching of the Word of God is being pulled down to the level of the ignorant and spiritually obtuse. We must tell stories and jokes and entertain and amuse — in order to have a few people in the audience. We do these things that we may have some reputation and that there may be money in the treasury to meet the church bills.

In many churches, Christianity has been watered down until the solution is so weak, that if it were poison it would not hurt anyone — and if it were medicine it would not cure anyone!
