Help us not to touch the glory,
Of the great Gospel story,
With our tarnishing hands.
May we ever yield You praises,
For the various phases,
Of missions across the lands.
There’s a great work to be done;
There’s a wide world to be won.
Our arms can’t be extended,
But Yours are never ended,
They reach to every mortal man.
Let us ever place the honor
On our Heavenly Father,
For the smallest deeds conceived.
You helped us pray the prayer;
Moved the mountain that was there,
When we first believed.
Man at best, is, oh so small.
In Your sight giants aren’t tall.
Our weakest spots show Your strength,
Our limitations Your length,
Man’s pride shows how he’s deceived. –eab, ’76 APR

A religion, even popular Christianity, could enjoy a boom altogether divorced from the transforming power of the Holy Spirit and so leave the church of the next generation worse off…
– A W Tozer, Keys to the Deeper Life (Grand Rapids: Zondervan Pub.,1957), 12.
…That word perfection never meant a spiritual terminal point nor a state of purity that made watchfulness and prayer unnecessary. Exactly the opposite was true.
– A W Tozer, Keys to the Deeper Life (Grand Rapids: Zondervan Pub.,1957), 30.
…We so desperately need leaders with the gift of discernment…we do not have them and are compelled to fall back upon the techniques of the world.
This frightening hour calls aloud for men with the gift of prophetic insight. Instead we have men who conduct surveys, polls and panel discussions.
We need men with the gift of knowledge. In their place we have men with scholarship – nothing more.
– A W Tozer, Keys to the Deeper Life (Grand Rapids: Zondervan Pub.,1957), 40.
…Let us beware of that imitation faith which is no more than a mental assent to truth… True faith invariably brings a witness.
– A W Tozer, Keys to the Deeper Life (Grand Rapids: Zondervan Pub.,1957), 52.
