We left off on page179.
We'll pick up at the section "No Awareness of the Eternal".
Assignment:
- For our study, consider what Tozer writes about gains and losses of his time, and consider what our current day gains and losses are. Be prepared to list our day's gains and losses.
- Read (or re-read) Chapter 10, God's Perfection, pp177-196.
- Read (or re-read) the Study Guide, Section 11 on Chapter 10, God's Perfection, pp93-103.
While we might see various losses, and while the world holds onto and promotes lies and deceit on every side, the Lord is still using His Church to save souls through faith in Jesus Christ!!! But to be clear, the losses that seem to be an afront to our Lord do NOT discourage or move me.
That we're experiencing greater losses than ever before, must come to pass for the Lord to fulfill every jot and tittle of His Word. I have no desire to suffer, but I also have no desire to come face to face with my Lord, only to explain to Him how I've wrapped the talent He gave me so neatly in a napkin, and buried it! I know He will not be impressed by how I preserved my life at the cost of opportunities to share the hope that's within me with my persecutors as well as the least of His brethren!
I pray that all of us men at GCF are coming to realize the magnitude of the perfection and fear of the Lord, and the WONDER and AWE-FULL and AMAZING benefits of His manifest presence, (the baptism of His Spirit) while we wait for the Lord's SUDDEN return!
