A.W. Tozer addresses the fear of emotions in the Christian experience, emphasizing that the neglect of the inward witness has led to a decline in spiritual vitality. He critiques the tendency among evangelicals to suppress feelings and experiences out of fear of losing dignity or becoming fanatical. Tozer argues that this cautious approach is counterproductive and likens it to absurd measures taken to control the dead. He calls for believers to open their hearts to receive God's work and to boldly declare His glory, encouraging a more authentic and vibrant faith.
