    A.W. Tozer playlist: • A. W. Tozer Sermons
    Hailing from a tiny farming community in western Pennsylvania, his conversion was as a teenager in Akron, Ohio. While on his way home from work at a tire company, he overheard a street preacher say: "If you don't know how to be saved... just call on God." Upon returning home, he climbed into the attic and heeded the preachers advice.
    In 1919, five years after his conversion, and without formal theological training, Tozer accepted an offer to pastor his first church. This began 44 years of ministry, associated with the Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA), a Protestant evangelical denomination; 33 of those years were served as a pastor in a number of churches. His first pastorate was in a small storefront church in Nutter Fort, West Virginia. Tozer also served as pastor for 30 years at Southside Alliance Church, in Chicago (1928 to 1959), and the final years of his life were spent as pastor of Avenue Road Church, in Toronto, Canada. In observing contemporary Christian living, he felt that the church was on a dangerous course toward compromising with "worldly" concerns.
    In 1950, Tozer received an honorary Doctor of Letters degree from Wheaton College. It was May 1950, when Tozer was elected editor of the Alliance Weekly magazine, now called, Alliance Life, the official publication of the C&MA. From his first editorial, dated June 3, 1950, he wrote, "It will cost something to walk slow in the parade of the ages, while excited men of time rush about confusing motion with progress. But it will pay in the long run and the true Christian is not much interested in anything short of that." In 1952, he received an LL.D. degree from Houghton College.
    Among the more than 40 books that he authored, at least two are regarded as Christian classics: The Pursuit of God and The Knowledge of the Holy. His books impress on the reader the possibility and necessity for a deeper relationship with God.
    Living a simple and non-materialistic lifestyle, he and his wife, Ada Cecelia Pfautz, never owned a car, preferring bus and train travel. Even after becoming a well-known Christian author, Tozer signed away much of his royalties to those who were in need.
    Tozer had seven children, six boys and one girl. He was buried in Ellet Cemetery, Akron, Ohio, with a simple epitaph marking his grave: "A. W. Tozer - A Man of God."
    Prayer was of vital personal importance for Tozer. "His preaching as well as his writings were but extensions of his prayer life," comments his biographer, James L. Snyder, in the book, In Pursuit of God: The Life Of A.W. Tozer. "He had the ability to make his listeners face themselves in the light of what God was saying to them," writes Snyder.

God bless you. I keep learning from the bible everyday and see how the world does everything opposite to God's commandments.

      Talk to God. Ask the Lord to help you in prayer and read the scriptures. Trust Him and let Him heal your hurts, pain and He will pour in His oil and lead you through. Please just be honest with Him, tell Him everything that you are thinking in your heart because He is seeking always to deal with our innermost heart. Many hide the things and seek excuses for all sorts of things they do but we must open our hearts to Him and He will do the necessary work inside so that we can walk on with Him with no hindrances to His fulfilling His promises to us. Be encouraged by His grace and trust Him with all that has happened.

      @@stormcup2920 I actually attend church now for about two years, but I go alone; my husband does not go with me. My eldest son got saved and wanted to go to church so he prayed and found one. I attended a few social events with him and got to know some folks. After a time I realized that I needed the community of saints. This simple Christian church is sound in main doctrine (although there are a few peripheral doctrines I don't agree on but nothing to separate over), they do not teach heresy, the elders seem to be saved men, and they endeavor to teach the whole counsel of God, i.e., they teach verse-by-verse with occasional topical sermons as the need arises. It has been a great spiritual blessing to me and I really do love them in the Lord.
      However, the spiritual altar in the home (as it used to be called) cannot be replaced. It is vital to live AT HOME what one would live while at church gatherings. What you are doing with your wife and children is very important. God richly bless you and your family and give you abundant grace and mercy for these times we live in.

    I was an addict also. I lost my job, went into bankruptcy, got my car stolen, stopped taking anti-depressant drugs. All around the same few month period. Then I just about died in April from a bleeding Ulcer.
    I was looking searching for a truth to live by and went from positive thought philosophies like Eckhart Trolle etc.. to A course in Miracles then back to Jesus again. I was a passionate Christian 10 years ago and slowly drifted from him, and was completely blind again in about 3 years. I really rebelled against him last year in April because my plans and ideas were not working so, started smoking' crack again. I was really blinded and cursed from that day forward, and was completely exposed to the wiles of Satan. Lost everything and close to bleeding to death internally. I have bouts of depression. But I am always trying to be in his presence and his is blessing me again. I fear the Lord he is God and all I do now is wit on his voice to tell me what to do each day. I am has servant. All things wok together for god, if you are called. His rod and staff comfort me.If you are predestined you my go through Jonah and King David experience's. But I look back on what has happened to me and he had to Crush me out to make room for him. Be patient he is doing his will if you are called.

    I was just asking God about this last night. I know many Christians that don’t seem to comprehend God’s commandments. They act as though they are somehow exempt from God’s design for ALL humans. Personally, I have a very healthy fear of my Divine Maker. I don’t want to ever displease Him ever again. I am doing everything humanly possible to live in repentance, obedience and trust. Less of me and way more of Him. 🙏🏼

      @@k.w.7973 I can't speak for everyone else but I am christian because I know what Jesus did for me. No one else died for me or my sins, much less rose from the dead. Of course no one should want to go to hell... people think it isn't real just as they think God and Jesus aren't real... they're in for a very rude awakening though they are real. Christianity isn't about just being worried about going to hell though, its your personal relationship with God and his son and the Holy Ghost that count. Rather you accept Jesus as your personal savior that is what matters.
