Just sharing

Ok so David, finally, got me to read "The Knowledge of the Holy" by A.W. Tozer.  (or rather I am still reading it) I must admit the first sentence of the preface intimidated me as it started like this... "True religion confronts earth with heaven and brings eternity to bear upon time."  Wow! I have a hard enough time sitting down and concentrating on a book with pretty basic, simple language.  (much rather be up doing something) My initial reaction aside, I find I may have to read some of the things said in this book a couple times to really catch what it is saying but I do find this a good book so far.   Here is some of what I just read...

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

The history of mankind will probably show that no people has ever risen above its religion, and man's spiritual history will positively demonstrate that no religion has ever been greater than its idea of God.  Worship is pure or base as the worshiper entertains high or low thoughts of God. For this reason the gravest question before the Church is always God Himself, and the most portentous fact about any man is not what he at a given time may say or do, but what he in his deep heart conceives God to be like.....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.  She can never escape the self-disclosure of her witness concerning God..
