THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY

Thursday, January 03, 2008

“What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” I want you to read and re-read that sentence. Let it sink into your mind. Never in my life time have we had a greater need for a Christian worldview. We have been taken captive by our culture.

Russian novelist Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, speaking of his country’s spiritual demise, said, “If I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of the ruinous Revolution that swallowed up some sixty million of our people, I could not put it more bluntly than to repeat: ‘Men have forgotten God; that’s why all this has happened.’”

I’m reading again, A.W. Tozer’s classic, The Knowledge of the Holy. It’s a great book. Tozer is the one who said, “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” In his little book, he writes about such things as the mercy, grace, love, holiness, and sovereignty of God—and much more.

We absolutely must think right thoughts about God!
