A.W. Tozer emphasizes the danger of selectively interpreting Scripture, warning that both cults and mainstream believers can fall into the trap of ignoring uncomfortable truths in favor of comforting ones. He points out that this tendency to highlight only the passages that align with our preferences can lead to a form of heresy, as we unconsciously neglect the full counsel of God's Word. Tozer encourages believers to confront the entirety of Scripture, including the challenging and rebuking verses, to avoid spiritual complacency and ensure a well-rounded faith.
