Doctrine & Christian Living
Deeper Life
A. W. Tozer
Christians often know the theory of the Spirit-filled life but not the joy-filled experience. Pastor and theologian A. W. Tozer said that Christians often know nothing personally about the inner fire of a Spirit-filled life. This timely voice provides a timeless glimpse into spiritual maturity and growth. The "deeper life" is deeper only because the average Christian life is tragically and unnecessarily shallow. Tozer examines our lack of personal zeal and its causes. Why do we settle for peace of mind and material prosperity? What can we do with our fears, disappointments, and disillusionment? In The Deeper Life, Tozer demonstrates how the ancient heart-thirst felt by all of us can only be quenched by the personal presence of God Himself. We must press on to enjoy in personal inward experience the exalted privileges that are ours in Christ Jesus. We must surrender our whole beings to the power of the cross. We must die to our sins, our righteousness, and everything in which we formerly prided ourselves. We must be willing to make Christ our one supreme Lord. Tozer wants to ignite a divine fire in our souls. Readers examine their relationship to the Holy Spirit, discover the value of spiritual gifts, and follow sequential steps to living The Deeper Life.

If Only I Knew...How God can accept me
Gerard Chrispin
Do you find that sometimes your failures have not worried you at all? Unless, of course, you have been found out and have suffered as a result, or feared that you might suffer? Have you sometimes experienced twinges of conscience, and wondered ‘Why am I like this?’ Other times, have you ever felt really rotten inside? Have you asked yourself, ‘Why does my heart seem so rotten?’ Before trusting Jesus as his Saviour, one violent young prisoner admitted, ‘I felt dead inside towards God and other people’. Do you ever feel like that? Occasionally I have wondered, ‘What does God think of me?’ Do you ever ask that question?
