ARE THE STREETS OF GOLD OUR GOAL?

I'm excited about the upcoming study the ladies are going to begin in September on the attributes of God.  For many years I have loved the inspiring writings of A.W. Tozer.  Once again I have come across a well focused, timeless writing he put together over 20 years ago. Over the next few weeks I would like to whet your appetite to be part of this heart refining study by sending you excerpts from the material we will be reading. 

Tozer begins by looking in detail at the infinitude of God.  He challenges us to realize that only God can satisfy our souls--not wealth, education, power,  relationships, etc.  "The Church will come out of her doldrums when we find out that salvation is not a lightbulb only, that it is not an insurance policy against hell only, but that it is a gateway into God and that God is all that we would have and can desire." 

"If you then be risen with Christ, seek those tings which are above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God.  Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.  For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God."  Colossians 3:1-3
