GOD'S FAITHFUL VOICE

         By A. W. Tozer
 
 

         And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time
         your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting,
         and drunkenness, and cares of this life,
         and so that day come upon you unawares.
         Luke 21:34

             In a day when judgments are soon to come upon the
         earth, we are often warned by doctors that we eat too
         much-and that we worry too much.  More of us suffer
         from mental illness than suffer from major physical
         illnesses.

             In our self-centered lives, even those who are professing
         believers are prone to think they will hear the trumpets of
         woe in time to do something about all this.  But at that time,
         it will be too late!

             The voice of God is a quiet voice.  The voice of God's
         love  and  grace  is  constant - never  strident,  never
         compulsive.  God has sent His messengers to every
         generation.  He  has  spoken  urgently  and  faithfully
         through His prophets; through the concerns of preachers
         and evangelists; even through the sweet voices of the
         gospel  singers.  Further,  God  has  spoken  through
         witnessing men and women: plain, sincere, loving men
         and women transformed by a spiritual birth which is from
         above.

             This is the voice of God we hear in this day of
         grace - the voice of the Savior calling wandering
         sinners home.

         Yours in Christ,
         Paul N. F.
