Your comments are welcome! Send a text my way!There are many topics in Scripture that can lead to controversy and unfortunately separation from true Christians when we should really still be together as one in spite of many of our differences. Certainly, one of the greatest topics of battles through the years has been the issue of election, which was basically defined and codified in John Calvin's famous work "The Institutes of the Christian Religion." This episode of 2Days Denarius focuses on a short devotional by the famous late minister and author A. W. Tozer, in which he, in short and strait order, laid out a small case in favor of God's choosing grace and dependence on Him over a man-made decision process in one's salvation. This podcast graciously covers this topic from some biblical and historical viewpoints. We should never afraid to look at difficult topics in Scripture. They are there for us to study with open heart and mind, through the illuminating power of the Holy Spirit. Let's take a listen together and praise God for his Amazing Grace!Devotional reading for this episode comes from "Mornings with Tozer: Daily Devotional Readings" by A. W. Tozer and Gerald B. Smith, 2008. Chicago: Moody Publishers. Theme songs "Holy Is the Lord" is used by permission of song writer/performer Pastor Steve Hereford of the Changed By Grace Church in Jacksonville, FL.

Thanksgiving Day. Have you wondered about that first Thanksgiving Day? I found it very interesting that 200 years ago, in 1789 George Washington declared November 26th the official day of Thanksgiving. This year, Thanksgiving falls on November 26th. After 1789, the States continued to celebrate on different days. It was Sarah Hale, an editor of a women's magazine in Boston, who waged a 30 year letter writing campaign to governors and the presidents, urging them to make Thanksgiving Day a national holiday and to pick one day for the celebration. President Lincoln proclaimed the last Thursday in November as a day of National Thanksgiving in 1863. Franklin Roosevelt pushed Thanksgiving into December in 1939 but two years later, it was moved back to the present, fourth Thursday in November. Thanksgiving really dates back to October 1621 in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Many of the pilgrims who had come over on the Mayflower the previous year had died, and the survivors had weathered a severe winter, but their fortunes had changed by the spring and summer, and they had good crop harvests, thanks to the help of a local tribe, the Wampanoags. To celebrate the better times, the Pilgrims declared a holiday so that all might, after a more special manner, rejoice together. The Pilgrims did not forget the hard times, and they had a custom of putting five kernels of corn on each empty plate before a dinner was served. These five kernels were chosen because prior to that first harvest, things were so bad that the daily ration was five kernels of corn per person per day. That custom of the pilgrims is a reminder for us to reflect upon our blessings, which are given to us by a gracious, generous God. Thanksgiving is a day of reflection on all that America has, our freedom, and our bounty. Every day is a day of thanksgiving and thanks living. I am reminded what the late A W Tozer once wrote about the habit of thanksgiving. He stated that "Thanksgiving will cure a host of injurious evils in our dispositions, self pity, resentment, murmuring and fault finding. All these will wither and die of themselves. For how can they grow inside a heart overflowing with gratitude and praise?" An unknown author wrote these prayerful thoughts, "Lord, we thank you for the privilege of living in a land of opportunity and beauty and plenty. We thank you for a religious heritage and freedom to worship as we may desire. We thank you for houses of worship that point fingers of stone towards heaven. We thank you for friends across the street, throughout the land, and around the world. We thank you for friendly nations on our borders and the ability to help the less fortunate in our own and other lands. We thank you for fertile fields swathed in robes of golden grain, for rolling plains blanketed with herds of lowing cattle, for majestic mountains ribbed with an ooze of steel. We thank you God for strength to work, for minds to plan and hearts to appreciate all good things from heaven."

A.W. Tozer was a man whose life and ministry were fueled by a deep hunger for God and a fervent desire to see the church return to a high view of God's holiness. Born into poverty in 1897, Tozer came to faith as a teenager after hearing a street preacher exhort people to call on the name of the Lord. This pivotal moment marked the beginning of a remarkable journey that saw him preach without formal training for 44 years and write some of the most influential Christian books of the 20th century. Known for his passionate sermons and unapologetic critiques of the church's spiritual decline, Tozer challenged Christians to keep seeking the things above (Colossians 3:1-2). Despite his shortcomings, Tozer's legacy remains a call to live with eternity in view, prioritizing the pursuit of God above all else. His prayerful plea for deeper intimacy with God resonates as an enduring invitation to each of us: Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, that so I may know Thee indeed. Scripture Reading: Acts 2:21; Colossians 3:1

A biographical sketch of one of the church's great writers.
“You can see God from anywhere if your mind is set to love and obey Him.” Question: What is the chief End of man? Answer: Man's chief End is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever! Written in one night on a train trip, Kate and Sheila recap A. W. Tozer's powerfully written book, The Pursuit of God. This inspirational jewel was published in 1948 but timelessly impactful, challenging readers to look out instead of in. We cannot simply sit in a pew to please God; we must fervently pursue Him if we are to grow closer to Him. “Complacency is a deadly foe of all spiritual growth.” “Sin has twisted our vision inward and made it self-regarding.” Eli and his sons were sad examples of pursuing self instead of God. The self-sins are many: self-righteousness, self-pity, self-confidence, self-sufficiency, self-admiration, self-love and a host of others that can so entangle our lives causing us to stagnate. Are you ready to put down the spoon and dig deep to seek God wholeheartedly? “How tragic that we in this dark day have had our seeking done for us by our teachers.” As the parable told by Jesus about the 10 virgins illustrates, each one of us must prepare to be ready, we cannot rely on someone else to do the work. Let's make passionately pursuing our heavenly Father a vital part each day He gives us!

Dive into the transformative power of imagination in spirituality with today's talk, where we uncover how envisioning our faith can lead to a deeper connection with God. Discover the often overlooked but foundational role that imagination plays in experiencing the divine. - Discussing why some worshippers feel disconnected during religious practices and how imagination bridges that gap. - Exploring St. Francis de Sales' insights on using imagination for meditation and neuroscience's confirmation of image-based thinking. - Examining Biblical instances of God communicating through visions and dreams, urging us to pay attention to these personal spiritual encounters. - Encouraging believers to actively use their sanctified imaginations as A.W Tozer suggests, seeing beyond natural things into spiritual realities. - Offering practical advice on incorporating imaginative practice into prayer, worship, and Bible reading for a more authentic engagement with faith. Remember: Imagination isn't about pretending; it's about perceiving God's ever-present love and letting it transform you from glory to glory.
This is what the Lord says to the people of Judah and Jerusalem: “Plow up the hard ground of your hearts! Do not waste your good seed among thorns” Jeremiah 4:3 NLT The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God. Psalms 51:17 NLT So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Genesis 1:27 NLT Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy. Ephesians 4:24 NLT When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father. John15:8 NLT Fruit-bearing in character is a prerequisite to fruit-bearing in spiritual influence upon others. When the ground soaks up the falling rain and bears a good crop for the farmer, it has God's blessing. But if a field bears thorns and thistles, it is useless. The farmer will soon condemn that field and burn it. Hebrews 6:7-8 NLT Fallow Ground has a hard surface. Fallow Ground has overgrowth Fallow Ground invites the Trampling of Traffic Sow for yourselves righteousness; Reap in mercy; Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to seek the Lord, Till He comes and rains righteousness on you. Hosea 10:12 NKJV Two things we must do to break up our fallow hearts. 1. Humble ourselves before God and confess our Sins “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor. 1 Peter 5:5-6 NLT let us cleanse ourselves from everything that can defile our body or spirit. And let us work toward complete holiness because we fear God. 2 Corinthians 7:1 NLT “Holiness is not human life brought up to the highest possible development, but is Divine Life brought down to the lowest possible level of condescension.” Stuart Holden Pride must be broken or it will break you! Pride tells you that you can quit doing what you've always done even though it got you to success. Have mercy on me, O God, because of your unfailing love. Because of your great compassion, blot out the stain of my sins. Wash me clean from my guilt. Purify me from my sin. For I recognize my rebellion; it haunts me day and night. Against you, and you alone, have I sinned; I have done what is evil in your sight. Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me. Do not banish me from your presence, and don't take your Holy Spirit from me. Psalms 51:1-4;10-11 NLT 2. There must be an abhorrence of the sin in your life. Then Jacob made this vow: “If God will indeed be with me and protect me on this journey, and if he will provide me with food and clothing, and if I return safely to my father's home, then the Lord will certainly be my God. Genesis 28:20-21 NLT When the man saw that he would not win the match, he touched Jacob's hip and wrenched it out of its socket. Genesis 32:25 NLT “ The experiences of men who walked with God in olden times agreed to teach that the Lord cannot fully bless a man until he has first conquered him. the degree of blessing enjoyed by any man will correspond exactly with the completeness of God's victory over him.” A W Tozer

We love A.W. Tozer around here! He’s one of our favorite Christian authors. Mr. Tozer went home to be with the Lord in 1963 but his writings continue to challenge, encourage, and uplift believers in our generation. He was kind of like a modern-day prophet. Tozer expert and our former co-worker here at Moody Phil Shappard joined us us to talk Tozer and the book he's put together featuring some of the most important sermons Tozer ever preached. https://www.moodypublishers.com/toward-a-more-perfect-faith/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Christianity in our modern day has turned inward and become a "me-focused" religion (i.e.: humanism).Yet decades ago, A.W. Tozer saw the Church in his day facing a similar problem—losing the wonder of the awful and awesome holiness of God.In this message, Tozer preaches on God's holy character and our need to return under His holy presence.Learn more about the Bravehearted Voices Podcast and how you can be discipled and grow spiritually by visiting braveheartedvoices.com
These attributes of GOD explain something of the mind of GOD. Is there comfort in knowing GOD never changes? Would you trust your life, and your future to GOD regardless of the cost if you believe He knows all there is to know?And what if GOD holds all knowledge? Doesn't He need to know how to apply His will to our lives with wisdom?It's easy to say we believe these attributes are true about GOD, but do we live by them, day by day? This is not a rhetorical question. If you want to deepen your knowledge of GOD and by deeper knowledge deepen your faith, listen to this episode and others in the series The Attributes of GOD, taken from A W Tozer's book Knowledge of the Holy.Key verses:Malachi 3:6 Psalm 147:4 & 5 Romans 11:33-36 Show notes at HopesHarbor.net

Tozer's classic, The Knowledge of The Holy.I'll read two chapters a day running up to the completion on Friday, December 23rd. The book has been an immense blessing to me in the past and so I hope it will be a blessing for you as you ease into a festive period of reflection, yearning for Him to come and, to that end, prayer. If you'd like to see an old video/music project inspired by Tozer's opening line in this book (with yours truly without much facial hair) please see here. Looking for evangelism motivation?

Want to Suggest a Question?To submit a question for James, Richella, and Nate to consider discussing on Friends in Formation, email friends@renovare.org....In this month's episode of Friends in Formation, Richella, James, and Nate answer listener questions about wrestling with unhealthy views of God, habits that can help us read deeply, and whether to pray for someone's healing right away, or only after feeling led to do so.Show Notes[1:10] A.W Tozer opens his Knowledge of the Holy with, “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” Dallas Willard wrote that if our view of God does not allow us to wholly give ourselves to God in love, you need to rethink your theology until it does. Question: what significant view of God have you wrestled with successfully?[14:59] Have you experienced integration over the years in your written conversations: in devotional reading, in journaling... and in the two intertwined?[28:02] Should you wait until you feel led to pray for someone's healing, or should you jump right in and just do it?Resources Atomic Habits, by James Clear Abandonment to Divine Providence, Jean-Pierre de Caussade The Knowledge of the Holy: The Attributes of God, A.
