"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!
Matthew 7:13,14 "Heaven can be entered only through the narrow gate! The highway to
hell is broad, and its gate is wide enough for all the multitudes who
choose its easy way.
But the Gateway to Life is small, and the road is narrow, and only a few
ever find it.
Yours in Christ,
Paul N. F.
