Hi everyone,
After a long break since the list time I've blogged I've decided it's time to get back into it. So much has happened in the life of Life to the Nations in the last year. I'm not even going to try and cover everything. We are about to launch our new website so I wanted to get this going again. In the season we're in there's a quote from AW Tozer that I think is amazing. He writes;
“Low views of God destroy the gospel for all who hold them…Perverted notions about God soon rot the religion in which they appear…So necessary to the Church is a lofty concept of God that when that concept in any measure declines, the Church with her worship and her moral standards declines along with it. The first step down for any church is taken when it surrenders its high opinion of God. Before the Christian Church goes into eclipse anywhere there must first be a simple corrupting of her simple basic theology. She simply gets a wrong answer to the question, “What is God like?” and goes on from there. Though she may continue to cling to a sound nominal creed, her practical working creed has become false. The masses of her adherents come to believe that God is different from what He actually is; and that is heresy of the most insidious and deadly kind. The heaviest obligation lying upon the Christian Church today is to purify and elevate her concept of God until it is once more worthy of Him – and of her.”
In all that we do both as sons and daughters of the King and in the context of the local church we have to constantly strive to elevate our concept of God!
