A.W. Tozer

So I'm not one to sit and read theological books. I'm more of a British-Chick-Lit fan. But yesterday I picked up a copy of The Counselor by A.W. Tozer and started reading. Only 4 pages in, I knew I was going to love the book.

If any church is to be a church of Christ, the living, organic member of that redeemed Body of which Christ is the Head, then its teachers and its members must strive earnestly and sacrificially with constant prayer...
The Christian Church ought to be useful to the whole community. A Spirit-filled congregation is useful in the neighborhood.
I would like to see a church become so godly, so Spirit-filled that it would have a spiritual influence on all of the churches in the entire area.
