A.W. Tozer is a refresher of the SPIRIT! Thank you FATHER for your saints that preached your Word and now we get to hear it out of time. I am certain that brother Tozer is in YOUR presence now with great reward. Thank you JESUS.
I'll tell you how you can give a thumbs down to a Tozer sermon: he's one of the most ignorant preachers I've ever listened to, that's how. Just because a man talks in a very sanctimonious tone doesn't make him a good preacher.

Tozer and Surgeon hold nothing back, they reveal sin and salvation. They expose the self life and forgiveness. I am grateful that God used these men to play a part in winning souls. The glory is God's.

Zechariah 4:6 6 Then he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts. Do not lead on your own understanding but Seek out daily Guidance from the advocate the "Comforter" whom Jesus Christ gifted to us The Holy Spirit of God. God Bless.
The Church of Sardis condition (Revelation 3:1-6) is becoming more and more evident in the church the longer we live. The church looks alive - they have the gathering , they sing the songs , and do all the theatrics but in reality they are dead because the Gospel, The love of God, the wrath of God , the Truth of the Bible in general etc. are being filtered out , we need a revival and a strong repentance or else we would parish
I've been listening to this man for several years now. I have a collection of his sermons on cd. He says a lot of good things, and I've quoted him many times. I like his theology, and I love it that he emphasizes that man is a spiritual creature and has eternity in his heart. (Ecclesiastes 3:11) and that we as Christians must have a high concept of God, and must maintain personal holiness. He has helped me in several ways over the years. That said, I can't say much for his preaching. He lets his opinions and his politics interfere too much. Thankfully, he didn't do so too much in this one, but he still ruined it at the end by what he said about the missionary out in the field meeting an old chief with nine wives and hollering at him. "Get rid of every one but the first one!" (33:43) True, the new birth is supposed to make a change in a person, but it is NOT up to the preacher, evangelist, or missionary to affect that change. Just bring them to Christ, and if there's anything in their lives that displeases Him, HE can correct them for it, not Bro. Tozer. And no, it is NOT "compounded adultery" when a tribal chief has more than one wife. If he is married to them, that by definition is not adultery. He talked so contemptuously about peoples' "culture", I wonder if he realizes that people in the Bible had plural wives? That was their culture, too! I guess Abraham, Jacob, David, and all those guys were "compounded adulterers!!!" It actually wouldn't surprise me if he really didn't know that, because his ignorance of the Bible is actually quite staggering. Over the years, I've heard him say some things that were incredibly ignorant, like what he says about Sodom and Gomorrah here. (34:20) Of course, perhaps he can't be entirely blamed for his homophobia, for that's always been the most popular reading of Genesis 19, especially from preachers in the 1950s and 60s, but it's dead wrong, nonetheless. That's one of those traditions that replaced what the Bible actually said, which was that God destroyed Sodom and those other cities of the plain because of their pride, not because of their sexuality. "Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister, Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. They were haughty, and committed abomination before me, therefore I took them away as I saw good." (Ezekiel 16:49) Their sins were all SPIRITUAL (which are far more deadly) not fleshly. It was pride, greed, laziness, complacency, indifference, selfishness, haughtiness. Sex had nothing whatsoever to do with it. Elsewhere in the Bible whenever Sodom is mentioned, O.T. or N.T., it is NEVER linked with sex of any kind, but always with receiving God's messengers, or ignoring God's warning. When the men of Sodom said, "Bring them out so that we may know them", that didn't mean "so we can have sex with them." How preposterous. The notion that Lot had a bunch of gay men clawing at his door like mindless zombies foaming at the mouth, saying, "Ah! fresh men! Must have men! Bring those men out that we may have sex with them!" is so stupid I wonder how anybody above the mental age of six can believe it. That is stereotyping, and quite obviously prejudice, not the Holy Spirit. When they said, "bring them out that we may know them," they meant exactly that. They wanted to KNOW them in the plain old ordinary everyday sense of the word: who were they? what were they doing here? why was Lot (a prominent member of that society, remember) hiding them in his house? were they spies? It was a normal inquiry like that, kind of similar to the situation Rahab the Harlot had when the officials of Jericho questioned her about the two men (the two Hebrew spies Joshua sent) she had received into her house. (Joshua 2:3) Yes, the word "know" in the Bible can mean sexual relations, but only a few times is it so used. (Genesis 4:1, 1 Kings 1:4, Matthew 1:25) But look in any Bible concordance and you will see that the vast, VAST overwhelming majority of the time it is used in the normal, everyday sense, meaning to have knowledge of; it is used HUNDREDS of times more often that way, and this is one of them. Besides, if I had a bunch of gay men stampeding my door wanting gay sex, I don't think I'd offer them my virgin daughters. (Genesis 19:8) !
You incorrectly stated that no where in the Bible was Sodom's sexual sin mentioned. Please read Jude 1:7 where it specifically states Sodom's and Gomorrah's homosexuality and how they are "set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire."
@@godgavemeeyestosee I don't think "Going after strange flesh" strictly means homosexuality. The original Greek reads more like, "joining the ungodly". The word "fornication" does not strictly mean homosexuality, it means having sex with someone to whom you are not married, in other words, HETEROSEXUALS, too. Jesus mentioned fornication, (Matthew 5:32) but never homosexuality, so I guess He didn't think it was worth making an issue of, and even then, there's something far worse than physical fornication, and that is spiritual fornication, when people worship or put their confidence in anyone or anything except God. "Even as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities about them IN LIKE MANNER . . . are set forth as an example . . ." Please notice the verse above verse 7 : "And the angels which kept not their first estate . . . He has reserved unto everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgement of the great day." These two verses are inextricably linked. You must take them together. Jude was linking Sodom and Gomorrah with the angels who sinned (Lucifer and his rebellion against God - Isaiah 14) and his point was, their judgements were similar. Sodom and Gomorrah suffered judgement "in like manner" as the angels did, he was not saying that they had sinned in like manner. The sins of Sodom and Gomorrah were not sexual (Ezekiel 16:49) and angels can't have sex. God Himself listed the sins of Sodom in Ezekiel 16:49-50. Homosexuality is not among them.
Idk anything about this guy but I do have a question, he said that one of three things liberals did was basically have a desire to "integrate"......does anyone have a link to any sermons on what this man believed about integration himself?.....just wondering.
I have never heard or read what Tozer thought of integration. But within the context of his mentioning it, he also said that liberals teach to be kind and love your brother. Tozer is not saying that there is anything wrong with doing these things. Of course he agrees that is a good thing to love your brother and to be kind. So within the context I don't believe he is implying that he is against integration anymore than he would be against loving your brother or being kind to others. Tozer is making the point that if you follow the teachings of Jesus about loving your brother but at the same time deny the gospel of Jesus for the salvation of men's souls, you are just as lost as any other wicked sinner. And that is how liberals believe. They teach to love our brothers but they deny the miracles of Jesus and the resurrection. And the liberal/progressive Christians are the same today. They have a form of godliness but deny the power therein. And if Tozer would have been against integration, I am sure the whole world would know about it. You would probably not find his sermons on this channel. And he would not be one of the most read Christian authors of the 20th century. But that was a good question. I also picked up on that also when he mentioned it and I had the same question as you. I have read and listened to Tozer for many years. He always steps on my toes and blesses my heart and inspires me to walk closer to the Lord which is always a good thing.
@@chrishadwin7511 so basically he's for loving one another as long as there isn't integration?....I Mean idc what time frame this was that isn't the spirit of God.....I have a knack for not becoming a fanboy of preachers and I could care less how famous they were or weren't but I do have a talent to sniff out wrong and those words stunk of something fierce....
@@chaboi7 Apparently I did not give you the answer you wanted to hear. Tozer did not say that and neither did I. You are putting words in someone's mouth. If you have such a nose for sniffing out evil, why did you ask the original question? Apparently, you have already judged the content of this man's heart. Consider the following Scripture. "Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged" Matthew 7:1-2. If you really know something about someone that everyone else should know about, by all means tell us. Otherwise, stop trying to make false accusations against someone you know nothing about unless you have evidence to back up your implications. There is also a commandment from the law of Moses which says to not bear false witness against your neighbor. And according to Jesus, your neighbor can be anyone. Even people who are different than us and born at different times in history.
@@chaboi7 You caught nothing. You have no idea what you are speaking about. You admitted you have never heard of Tozer. I have one question. And I think your answer will reveal that you are making an assumption which at first I did the same thing. When Tozer mentioned "integration" what was he talking about? I realized that we are discussing a word that Tozer mentioned but neither one of us have explained what we think he is speaking of. The "Integration" of who or what? What "Integration" do you think he is speaking of?
