"MONEY IS NOT TRUTH"


    MONEY  IS  NOT  TRUTH

        By A.W. Tozer

        The Lord’s Blessing is our greatest wealth.
        All our work adds nothing to it!  Proverbs 10:22

           It is a fact in human history that men and women have
        never, in any great numbers, sought after truth.

           The young people who stream from our halls of
        learning each year confess to having no more than a
        passing and academic interest in truth.  The majority
        admit that they go to college only to improve their social
        standing and increase their earning power.

           So, the average American will confess that he most
        wants success in his chosen field; and he wants success
        both for prestige and for financial security.

           The ominous thing about all this is that everything men
        and women want can be bought with money, and it
        would be difficult to think of an indictment more terrible
        than that!  Real seekers after truth are almost as rare as
        albino deer!

           Why?  Because truth is a glorious but hard master.
        Jesus said, "I am the Truth," and followed Truth straight
        to the Cross.  The Truth seeker must follow Him there
        and that is the reason few men seek the Truth!
        Yours in Christ,

        Paul N. F.
