THE WORLDLY "VIRUS"
 
By A. W. Tozer
 
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour ...be
put away from you.   Ephesians 4:31
 
As Christian believers, we must stand together against
some things. So, if you hear anyone saying that A. W.
Tozer preaches a good deal that is negative, just smile and
agree: "That is because I preach the Bible!"
 
Here are some of the things we oppose: we are against
the many modern idols that have been allowed to creep
into the churches; we are against the "unauthorized fire
that is being offered on the altars of the Lord; we are
against the modern gods that are being adopted in our
sanctuaries.
 
We are against the world's ways and its false values.
We are against the world's follies and its vain pleasures.
We are against this world's greed and sinful ambitions.
We are against this world's vices and its carnal habits.
 
We believe this spells out clearly the Bible truth of
separation. God asks us to stand boldly against anything
or anyone who hurts or hinders this New Testament body
of Christians. Where the church is not healed --- it will
wither. The Word of God is the antibiotic that alone can
destroy the virus that would plague the life of the church!
