A.W. Tozer emphasizes that true spirituality has always been a minority experience, often at odds with popular opinion. He argues that when Christianity becomes widely accepted, it risks losing its essence and power, as seen in the historical context where popular movements led to the persecution of true believers. Tozer warns that the majority is often misguided, and standing firm in God's truth can be both unpopular and perilous. He reflects on how the early church, despite being a minority, held a moral authority that was formidable against evil, contrasting it with the later dilution of faith when Christianity became mainstream. Ultimately, he suggests that the church has struggled to regain its spiritual vitality after succumbing to cultural pressures.
