Tozer on Sanctification of the Believer
By Brent Rood | November 13, 2008
Progress in the Christian life is exactly equal to the growing knowledge we gain of the Triune God in personal experience. And such experience requires a whole life devoted to it and plenty of time spent at the holy task of cultivating God. God can be known satisfactorily only as we devote time to Him. Without meaning to do it we have written our serious fault into our book titles and gospel songs. ’”A little talk with Jesus,” we sing, and we call our books “God’s Minute,” or something else as revealing. The Christian who is satisfied to give God His “minute” and to have “a little talk with Jesus” is the same one who shows up at the evangelistic service weeping over his retarded spiritual growth and begging the evangelist to show him the way out of his difficulty. The Root of the Righteous
This was written in the 60’s, but I think it has great benefit for us today. Many Christians who grew up in a home where we were constantly told to “do our devotions” or “have daily prayer time” have reacted against routine and discipline. The pendulum has now swung to shallow and weak spirituality. There are times we need to go Old School and I think more discipline in a routined prayer life is one of them. Food for thought.
