Tozer for Tuesday

Sadly, in some churches, God is no longer necessary. Some churches claim to believe in God but by way of doctrine have it so arranged at their church that God is not necessary to them for success. To the average church, God is desirable and may even be useful, but He is not necessary. Most churches can get on without God; they just give God His place in a nice way, as a guest. They say, “Our honored guest is here tonight,” but He is soon forgotten in the midst of all the claptrap. That is not an apostolic church.—A.W. Tozer, Reclaiming Christianity, 53
