During the break of our study of Moses I am reading The Pursuit of God by A.W. Tozer. This book was one that was recently referenced in the BSF notes. It is a relatively short book, 75 pages, written in 10 chapters plus and introduction. I would encourage you to read along and add your comments and thoughts. $6.49 on Amazon.
My structure in writing about the book for each of the chapters will be a very loose homiletics approach. For those of you who are homiletic purists, I apologize. For the rest, I hope you find some things that further your personal relationship with God.
As Moses said, “Show my your glory.”
Preface:
AIM:
A revival is building in those seeking a more fulfilling relationship with God.
Summary:
Current church teaching provides minimum caloric input needed to sustain life, but this does not quench hunger or provide sweetness some are seeking in their relationship with the Lord.
Part I:
Hungering After God is the basis for a small but growing modern-day revival
- Within conservative Christianity, increasing numbers who hunger after God Himself
- This is only hint of “revival” apparent on the horizon
- Resurrection of life in search of radiant wonder (wonder is missing in our churches)
Part II:
Fundamentals and doctrines are important but don’t fulfill the hunger
- Modern evangelicalism is focused on engineering and accounting instead of fire and glory
- Many bible teachers accurately repeat fundamentals and doctrines day after day, year after year
- Their ministry has no manifest presence or anything unusual in their personal lives.
- This teaching does not fulfill
- Orthodoxy is a very slender part of religion
- Through great and splendid efforts millions today hold “right opinions”
- But true spiritual worship is at a low ebb
- Sound Bible exposition is an imperative
- But exposition alone does not fill hunger for intimacy and satisfying knowledge of God
- This book is not new or unique, aims to help those who hungry or light others candles with its flame
The Notes are Good
