A New Type of Preacher
By A.W. Tozer0ISA 6:8JER 1:7ACT 20:24A.W. Tozer emphasizes the urgent need for a new type of preacher in Christianity, one who is not bound by the conventional roles of the past but is instead a prophet who has encountered God and is willing to stand against societal norms. He argues that the current models of leadership have failed to rejuvenate the Church, and what is needed is a leader who is rugged, blunt, and passionate about Christ and the salvation of souls. This new preacher will face opposition and hatred from many but will remain steadfast in their mission to testify to the gospel of grace. Tozer calls for a revival of such leaders who have truly seen visions of God and heard His voice.
