While looking for another of A.W. Tozer’s works online, I came across this essay called “Does God Always Answer Prayer?” from Man: The Dwelling Place of God. Tozer didn’t belong to the “God answers: yes, no, or here’s something else” school of thought with regard to prayer.
What do you think?
Does God Always Answer Prayer?
Nearness Is Likeness
I finally started reading Tozer recently. I’ve wanted to read some of his books for a long time – so when I found an old copy of The Best of A.W. Tozer earlier this year, I figured that would be a great place to start. Let me tell you – it is! [...]
Excerpts from St. Andrews Sojourn
One of the presents which my lovely wife gave me this past Christmas was St. Andrews Sojourn: Two years at Home on the Old Course by George Peper. I started reading it last week, and I thought I’d share a little bit from it – I’m enjoying it quite a bit so far! But first [...]
The Thought of God, ch.3 – “The Still Small Voice”
I must have started this post a couple of months ago… it’s been a while since I’ve dipped back into The Thought of God, which is a shame, because it’s a great book! However, the fact that the book is made up of a series of articles makes it very easy to pick up [...]
The Thought of God
I recently started reading The Thought of God, which has been on my list of books to read for a couple of years now. It’s a collection of articles by Maurice Roberts which were published as editorials in The Banner of Truth magazine. Based on the first few chapters/articles, I’ll be writing a [...]
More on memory…
I wrote post a while back about my memory, wondering why I remember useless things and not important things.
It turns out Spurgeon had something to say about memory:
I believe that the fall crushed man entirely, albeit, when it rolled like an avalanche upon the mighty temple of human nature, some shafts were still left undestroyed, [...]
He who believes and is baptized will be saved…
I had forgotten about this verse (Mark 16:16).
I recently picked up where I left off in my collection of Spurgeon’s sermons, and was initially surprised to read the following:
Measure me by the articles of the Church of England, and I will not stand second to any man under heaven’s blue sky in preaching the [...]
Repentance
There’s one thought I came across in Owen’s Mortification which has kept coming up to me lately, but which I resist — though I understand and acknowledge its truth: that God even grants us repentance — that without His work in our hearts, we would not repent. It’s very obvious in justification – from [...]
Our first NOBC book!
The NOBC’s first read is The Heart of the Matter. I’ve wanted to read Graham Greene for some time, so I appreciate this choice.
“Done” with Mortification
I finally finished Of the Mortification of Sin in Believers by John Owen. A tough read, as I indicated before, and worth a very slow and considered reading – but it is very rewarding. (After it is first very convicting!)
The next book by Owen which I plan to read is Of Communion with [...]
