"To great sections of the Church the art of worship has been lost entirely, and in its place has come that strange and foreign thing called the “program.” This word has been borrowed from the stage and applied with sad wisdom to the type of public service which now passes for worship among us."
— A. W. Tozer
-
"The Church has surrendered her once lofty concept of God and has substituted for it one so low, so ignoble, as to be utterly unworthy of thinking, worshipping men. … We have lost our spirit of worship and our ability to withdraw inwardly to meet God in adoring silence."
— A. W. Tozer

"In my opinion, the great single need of the moment is that light-hearted superficial religionists be struck down with a vision of God high and lifted up, with His train filling the temple. The holy art of worship seems to have passed away like the Shekinah glory from the tabernacle. As a result, we are left to our own devices and forced to make up the lack of spontaneous worship by bringing in countless cheap and tawdry activities to hold the attention of the church people."
— A. W. Tozer

"When we make a choice today we are deciding who we will be tomorrow."
— A. W. Tozer

"True and absolute freedom is only found in the presence of God."
— A. W. Tozer

Bio
Learn More »I serve as the senior pastor of Bayside Auburn Church, a transformational and missional faith community. We are located in the foothills, a few miles east of Sacramento. This is my personal blog. After two decades of serving the church of Jesus as a pastor, I find myself more passionate about Jesus and more hopeful about the church than ever before. An awakening within the church and within the human soul is underway as I write. This is a great time to think about spirituality and to draw out the implications of vital Jesus-centered spirituality for church, pastors and culture. I marvel about this development; it’s shattering old paradigms and opening up new possibilities.

Quotes I Love
See more »"Christians have no monopoly on commitment; they simply have a different object. A Christian is a person who confesses that, amidst the manifold and confusing voices heard in the world, there is one Voice which supremely wins his full assent, uniting all his powers, intellectual and emotional, into a single pattern of self-giving. That Voice is Jesus Christ." - Elton Trueblood
“If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probably explanation is that…earthly pleasures were never meant to satisfy it, but only to arouse it, to suggest the real thing.” - C.S. Lewis
