| I swiped this from a poster at my other board. 1. The Bible will still have all the answers. 2. Prayer will still work. 3. The Holy Spirit will still move. 4. God will still inhabit the praises of His people. 5. There will still be God-anointed preaching. 6. There will still be singing of praise to God. 7. God will still pour out blessings upon His people. 8. There will still be room at the Cross. 9. Jesus will still love you. 10. Jesus will still save the lost. God whispers in your soul and speaks to your mind. Sometimes when you don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at you.  _________________ "I used to be indecisive..........

| Every new year is an uncharted and unknown sea. No ship has ever sailed this way before. The wisest of earth's sons and daughters cannot tell us what we may encounter on this journey. Familiarity with the past may afford us a general idea of what we may expect, but just where the rocks lie hidden beneath the surface or when that "tempestuous wind called Euroclydon" may sweep down upon us suddenly, no one can say with certainty....
Now more than at any other time in generations, the believer is in a position to go on the offensive. The world is lost on a wide sea, and Christians alone know the way to the desired haven. While things were going well, the world scorned them with their Bible and hymns, but now the world needs them desperately, and it needs that despised Bible, too. For in the Bible, and there only, is found the chart to tell us where we are going on this rough and unknown ocean. The day when Christians should meekly apologize is over--they can get the world's attention not by trying to please, but by boldly declaring the truth of divine revelation. They can make themselves heard not by compromise, but by taking the affirmative and sturdily declaring, "Thus saith the Lord." (This World: Playground or Battleground? pp. 9-10, A. W. Tozer) _________________ "If you are not concerned about your neighbor's salvation, you should be concerned about your own."

| I've read a couple of Tozer's books. I need to track down a few more, though. Like C.S. Lewis, Tozer goes really deep into the Word. However, I found Tozer to be very easy to read. Lewis, to me, is very dry. _________________  I might have decided, or maybe not, that I should or shouldn't, depending on the issue or non-issue, to possibly share or not share, any thoughts, opinions, or facts (that might not be deemed factual by some), due to possible fear of any misinterpretation or retribution. |

| I've never gotten round to reading The Screwtape Letters. Thought about it many times, but never actually got there. One day, maybe, one day.......... Fundy _________________ My Christian Metal Website......... www.bbillett.freeserve.co.uk

| I think some of Lewis work is a little dry, but most of that just has to do with the period/place in which he is writing. I tried to find some Tozer at my library, but they only had one book and it is written in Korean. Time to try half-prices books. _________________ "I used to be indecisive..........
