Early in my own stumbling, bumbling Christian walk, I encountered a paperback by Tozer on Elijah. I was strangely drawn to buy it, as seemed a bit more likely then as now. I learned more about Elijah than I could have hoped to have gained, cross-referenced and accurate, in such a short time, at such a young age.

Why don't I have more Tozer in my stacks?

Tozer made a very important point about distinguishing Nature from Nature's God in this Chapter, and the consequences of Pan-Everythingism, as Schaeffer tried to explain the same point. It's a little mind-bending, but it shouldn't be, especially to anyone who has made even a cursory study of physics.

It take more faith to believe the Universe is a closed system than it does to believe in an intelligent Designer. That's how deeply rebellious we are, as a species. Distinctly rebellious against The God, the God of Abraham, God and Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Anything else, any other authority, idea, we can hold out for only so long. The Truth, on the other hand, seems to be something we are able to refuse to face with a stubbornness unique in creation.

There have been a number of Tozer threads posted in the last few weeks.

One is Man: The Dwelling Place of God and The Pursuit of God.
