ONE cannot help but wonder at Tozer's farsightedness which seemed to witness the very world in which we live today. Although he died in 1963, you could hardly tell it by the following paragraph!
Now more than at any other time in generations, the believer is in a position to go on the offensive. The world is lost on a wide sea, and Christians alone know the way to the desired haven. While things were going well, the world scorned them with their Bible and hymns, but now the world needs them desperately, and it needs that despised Bible, too. For in the Bible, and there only, is found the chart to tell us where we are going on this rough and unknown ocean. The day when Christians should meekly apologize is over—they can get the world's attention not by trying to please, but by boldly declaring the truth of divine revelation. They can make themselves heard not by compromise, but by taking the affirmative and sturdily declaring, Thus saith the Lord. —A. W. Tozer on Christian Leadership
As we head into Sunday, let us resolve anew that we who have the truth will not conceal it, but blare it from the roof-tops! Matthew 5:16 urges us, Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works (truth-telling) and give glory to your Father in heaven (because it is evident from your words that heaven is the origin of your message).
