Quotes from the AW’s

October 30, 2006

We get a lot of quotes from Mr. Tozer (thanks mostly to Joe), but here is one from A.W. Tozer and also one from A.W. Pink.  I preached last night on Jesus’ words, “Blessed are the meek…” and these were two quotes that nourished (by piercing) my soul:

“Meekness is that grace in the believer that causes him to bear patiently insults and injuries, that makes him ready to be instructed and admonished by the least eminent of saints, that leads him to esteem others more highly than himself, and that teaches him to ascribe all that is good in himself to the sovereign grace of God.” Arthur Pink

“The labor of self-love is a heavy one indeed.  Think for yourselves whether much of your sorrow has not arisen from someone speaking slightingly of you.  As long as you set yourself up as a little god to which you must be loyal, there will be those who will delight to offer affront to your idol.” Tozer

Let us lay aside the heavy burden of pride by seeking our rest in the meekness of Jesus, who is gentle and lowly heart and promises that if we will learn from Him, we will find rest for our souls.
