A Real Christian by A. W. Tozer
A Real Christian is an odd number, anyway. He feels supreme love for One whom he has never seen; Talks familiarly everyday to someone he cannot see; Expects to go to heaven on the virtue of another; Empties himself in order to be full; Admits he is wrong so he can be declared right; Goes down [...]
The Attack From Within by A. W. Tozer
Our evangelical faith (which I believe to be the true faith of Christ and His apostles) is being attacked these days from many different directions. In the Western world the enemy has forsworn violence. He comes against us no more with sword and fagot; he now comes smiling, bearing gifts. He raises his eyes to [...]

The Old Cross And The New by A. W. Tozer
All unannounced and mostly undetected there has come in modern times a new cross into popular evangelical circles. It is like the old cross, but different: the likenesses are superficial; the differences, fundamental.
