From the pen of Pastor A W Tozer....

[Phil Hoover]

"Evangelical Christianity is now tragically below the New Testament standard. Worldliness is an accepted part of our way of life. Our religious mood is social instead of spiritual. We have lost the art of worship. We are not producing saints. Our models are successful businessmen, celebrated athletes, and theatrical personalities. We carry on our religious activities after the methods of the modern advertiser. Our homes have been turned into theaters. Our literature is shallow and our hymnody borders on sacrilege. And scarcely anyone appears to care." From A W Tozer, Of God and Men, 1960

If Tozer thought that then, what would he think now? His words were WAY before their time, prophetic (inspired utterance), and insightful.

[MacUser]

As as Paul in 1 Timothy 1:3,4 warns against..
..so that you may command certain men not to teach false doctrines any longer 4. nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. These promote controversies rather than God's work—which is by Faith.

Hebrews 13:9
Be not carried away by divers and strange teachings: for it is good that the heart be established by grace

His words were WAY before their time, prophetic.

If prophetic.. how does that word stand up to New Testament Prophet as Paul describes?

1 Corinthians 14:3
But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men edification, and exhortation, and consolation.
