 I
was looking in my blog archives today when I realized that today is the
one-year anniversary of my blog! In commemoration, I decided to re-post
my very first entry - posted July 27, 2005. It was entitled
"A Thought from A.W. Tozer"
I like to read Tozer's writings. This is an excerpt from his article, "To be Understood, Truth Must be Lived":
"At what point, then, does a theological fact become for the one who holds it a truth? At the point where obedience begins.
...Theological facts are like the altar of Elijah on Carmel before the
fire came, correct, properly laid out, but altogether cold. When
the heart makes the ultimate surrender, the fire falls and true facts
are transmuted into spiritual truth that transforms, enlightens,
sanctifies."
The reason why we must be doers, and not hearers only, of the Word of God. Before I read this, I never thought of truth in that way.
Comments:? Is this Biblical?
