“That Incredible Christian” is a collection of writing from A.W. Tozer. Below is paragraph from this book which I have found especially encouraging and challenging. I’ve added some questions below to help us think about the ideas Tozer pushes into the light.
The Secret to Life is Theological
“Whatever keeps me from the Bible is my enemy, however harmless it may appear to be. Whatever engages my attention when I should be meditating on God and things eternal does injury to my soul. Let the cares of life crowd out the Scriptures from my mind and I have suffered loss where I can least afford it. Let me accept anything else instead of the Scriptures and I have been cheated and robbed to my eternal confusion. The secret of life is theological and the key to heaven as well. We learn with difficulty, forget easily and suffer many distractions. Therefore we should set our hearts to study theology. We should preach it from our pulpits, sing it in our hymns, teach it to our children and make it the subject of conversation when we meet with Christian friends.”
Personal Questions
- Have I read my Bible lately? If not what has kept me from it?
- How might I fight this “enemy” tomorrow and the next day?
- How am I teaching my children (or my friends) what I’ve learned in my Study?
- How can Scripture/Theology be implemented into conversations with friends and family?
that is really amazing to read and im only 13 inagine what kind of impact that could have on a more experienced Christian.
