The Pursuit of God: The Sacrament of Living

Let’s get straight to the point.  In the final chapter of Tozer’s The Pursuit of God, he says this:
One of the greatest hindrances to internal peace which the Christian encounters is the common habit of dividing our lives into two areas – the sacred and the secular.

I would tend to agree that we do this [...]

The Pursuit of God: Meekness and Rest

In Matthew 11:28, Jesus said we could come to Him and He would give us rest from our burdens.  I’ve heard quite a few thoughts on what sort of burden He was referring to and what kind of rest He offers.  Tozer gives a pretty typical one in this chapter of The Pursuit of God:

The Pursuit of God: The Universal Presence

The Pursuit of God: Apprehending God

I have never seen gravity, but I believe it exists and live accordingly.  I believe in gravity because I have repeatedly seen the effects that gravity has on this world.  I believe in gravity because its nature has been explained to me by people I consider smarter than myself.  I believe in gravity because it [...]
