Soft Christians

Soft Christians

Our churches these days are filled (or one-quarter filled) with a soft breed of Christian that must be fed on a diet of harmless fun to keep them interested. About theology they know little. Scarcely any of them have read even one of the great Christian classics, but most of them are familiar with religious fiction and spinetingling films. No wonder their moral and spiritual constitution is so frail. Such can only be called weak adherents of a faith they never really understood.”

“Lord, send the Holy Spirit to renew within us a depth and seriousness in our pulpits. Give us boldness in our preaching. Amen.”

A.W. Tozer, (1897 – 1963 ) on Christian Leadership

    Spoken in true Tozer style! Did I tell you that he is one of our all-time favourite preachers? We have lots of his books. :-) )

    Ah Amanda, I love ya! :-) ) Every time, without fail, that I post a Tozer quote, you tell me that!

    I’m starting to think that Tozer might be one of your favourite preachers! ;)

    LOL, the truth is, I remembered saying this previously to you… and while I mean it, I was saying it to be a little cheeky. At least I am consistent eh? well, for some things, lol.
