A.W. Tozer

A.W. Tozer (1897 - 1963). American pastor, author, and spiritual mentor born in La Jose, Pennsylvania. Converted to Christianity at 17 after hearing a street preacher in Akron, Ohio, he began pastoring in 1919 with the Christian and Missionary Alliance without formal theological training. He served primarily at Southside Alliance Church in Chicago (1928-1959) and later in Toronto. Tozer wrote over 40 books, including classics like "The Pursuit of God" and "The Knowledge of the Holy," emphasizing a deeper relationship with God. Self-educated, he received two honorary doctorates. Editor of Alliance Weekly from 1950, his writings and sermons challenged superficial faith, advocating holiness and simplicity. Married to Ada, they had seven children and lived modestly, never owning a car. His work remains influential, though he prioritized ministry over family life. Tozer’s passion for God’s presence shaped modern evangelical thought. His books, translated widely, continue to inspire spiritual renewal. He died of a heart attack, leaving a legacy of uncompromising devotion.

Scriptures
Sermon Transcription
Let's pray. O Lord, Lord, Thou hast brought life and immortality to life through the gospel. Thou hast set a candle in every Christian grave. Thou hast sanctified every floating Christian body in the vast sea. Thou hast sanctified every dry fleck of dust that was once a tabernacle of the Holy Ghost. Great God, Thou hast taken the darkness out of the future, and Thou hast sent a thousand sons there. We thank Thee. Thou hast made the bitterest pain tolerable. Thou hast taught us to so remember our days as those whose days are given as a school for the world to come. We pray for any who may be lost in this room tonight. We pray that they may turn their hearts back to Thee, back to the scriptures, back to the cross, back to the blood, back to the Savior. O God, for our young people, O God, downloast this terrible day. O God, downloast this terrible day. We're inventing vaccines to keep them from dying of polio. We're keeping them alive to teach them to be fools and to live like fools and die like fools. My God, how confused everything is. We're licking one disease after another. We've pushed life expectancy up from 34 years to 60-some years, and all those years that we've gained on earth were wasted. My God, forgive us, we're stupid. We're as beasts before Thee, O Lord. My God, we pray nobody might go out of this building tonight that hasn't found Thee as his God and Jesus Thy Son as his Savior, that doesn't know that immortality has come to him in essence, an eternal life in fact, and that now he can spread his wings and soar out and rise and become enamored of those things where Christ sitteth at the right hand of God. O my Father, don't let anybody here tonight be lost, we pray. Save our young people from the assininities and nonsense and foolishness and chatter and all the devil-inspired traps and tricks that would ruin them. Save them from their own lust. Save them from their own high spirits and hot blood. Save them from their poor ignorance. Pray God, save our young people. Save them all. Add to their numbers. Make them such magnets that they'll draw other young people in off the street. It won't wait for them to grow up from their kindergarten, but they're coming off the street to see what makes these young people happy-faced. My Father, do something for us. Spread the gospel message. Bless every man who at this hour in his city may be ending his sermon and inviting people to the front. Bless, we pray, every gospel preacher. May Satan suffer a major defeat tonight, in the kingdom of God a major victory, receive a major victory. Help us now as we wait upon thee. O God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you're going to be around long, notice these young people, without a roof, without a gray hair, without any evidence of age at all upon them, they won't be around long. Time like an ever-rolling stream bears all its sons away. They fly forgotten as a dream dies at the opening day. The little tribes of flesh and blood, with all their cares and fears, are carried downward like a flood and lost in the following years. O God, we pray, give us spiritual goods. Give us insight. Give us prophetic vision. Please help us to see past brick walls and water and boobs and teeth and basins and bread. My God! These things all perish with you, isn't it? Help us to see past it all and discern the Lord's body and discern the deep meaning of things. Lord Jesus, they crucified you because thou didst see the deep and the meaning of things, and they saw nothing but the shell. Please help us that we may not be on the side of them who crucified you. In our sympathies, help us rather to get over on the side of them than understood by midlife that the kingdom of God is within you and that you are the temple of the Holy Ghost, which you have of God, and that Christ dwelleth in you, except indirectly, and that Christ in you is the hope of glory. Please, Lord, we pray thee, keep us right and help us to be right and obedient in all the practical things of life. Help us to be sound and practical and help us all to obey God, Lord Jesus, we pray thee, and obedient in all the practical things of life.

Amen.
