Concentrating on Christ at Christmas

by

Christmas as it is celebrated today is badly in need of a radical reformation. What was at first a spontaneous expression of an innocent pleasure has been carried to inordinate excess.

Tozer on Tuning Pianos and Uniting Worshipers

by

A.W. Tozer explains a wondrous concept about tuning pianos and uniting worshipers: “Has it ever occurred to you that one hundred pianos all tuned to the same fork are automatically tuned to each other? They are of one accord by being tuned, not to each other, but to another standard to which each one must

Tozer on God’s Sovereignty and Man’s Responsibility

by

One of the most frequent questions I receive as a pastor is how to reconcile the apparent discrepancy between God’s sovereignty and man’s responsibility.  For those of us who like to keep theology in organized compartments, this issue can be one of great frustration.
