The Lord is Our Banner

A God Centered Life - Nothing but God

Hi people,

Really see that the blog hasn't been used in a looooooooooong time. Really hope to see more interesting posts other than our BBQ order form.

WELL, here's my overdue blog item. Hope it makes sense:

Read something in Tozer’s “The Knowledge of God” that really intrigued me – it said “What comes to our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.”

It really says a lot about our focus on God. It really speaks volumes that when we think about God, what do we really see God as? And in turn, what does that say about our lives as His disciples? Are there areas and viewpoints in our lives that need to be corrected? Or is our viewpoint about God spot on?

According to Tozer, the real remedy to the malady of the spiritual lethargy of our lives is to really return to God Himself. In his book “The Pursuit of God”, he notes that “The Bible is not an end in itself, but a means to bring men to an intimate and satisfying knowledge of God, that they may enter into Him, that they may delight in His presence, may taste and know the inner sweetness of the very God Himself in the core and centre of their hearts”. Tozer argues that superficial remedies for our lack of spiritual life are useless; what we need is to return to God, and to learn to reverence, honour and love Him alone.
