Tozer for Tuesday

I think of the prophet Jeremiah. I find many men who are wandering around that are not any good, and many men who are the messengers and saints of God who are not wanted. You cannot always tell whether God is blessing a man by how many calls he gets, because many men get calls that if the truth were known about them, they would never be called anywhere, except to a court of law. Other men are God’s own saints but are not wanted.—A.W. Tozer, Reclaiming Christianity, 203

He preached this sermon either in the 1950s or the early 1960s. You would think he was looking at the current state of the church (and society) in the United States. Celebrity pastor after celebrity pastor is being found out for hidden sin. One of the candidates for the US presidency is a convicted felon and a known sexual predator.

I guess Tozer was wrong about one thing: Their sins are known and they still get calls. What a sad state of affairs.
