Knowing God

We’re going to do something a little different tonight than I’ve think we’ve ever done. I want to read a fairly lengthy portion to you out of this book, a couple of paragraphs or so—a book that a lot of you are familiar with, A. W. Tozer’s book on The Knowledge of the Holy. How many of you have ever read that? Those of you that have not—I would put it in the top probably, and I don’t know where to rank it even. It could be number one, but I would put it in the top five books that I’ve ever read that’s helped me the most in my spiritual walk and truly in the knowledge of God.

I like one of the things that I’m going to read in this paragraph that he [Tozer] says concerning knowing God and talking about all false doctrine. All of the false doctrine being our missing the wisdom of God; the purpose of God, whether knowingly or unknowingly, is the misunderstanding of who God is, and what God is really like. In this book, it talks about—and you remember we went over the teaching of the attributes of God a number of months ago. It seems like months. I don’t know if it’s been longer than, that but a few months ago and just talking about the attributes of God and who He really is. We talked about the fact that the attributes are not specific aspects of the character of God, but the attributes of God are really just definitions and understanding of the natural mind of who God is—an explanation to us. God is not segmented into these different aspects. They’re not character traits. They’re the multifaceted limited comprehension of who God really is.

In the aspects of understanding God and really coming to know who He is, I want to read this one portion of the book to you. I think it will really help you. Tozer has that way of making statements that are just so absolutely profound and life-changing because he has that knowledge of God. He’s come to the place of really knowing God. I want to talk a little bit tonight about the faithfulness of God and the attribute of His immutability. Aren’t you glad that God is the same every time you come to Him? In my own life, one of the things that I’ve tried to do in my own walk is to just being the same. That’s what I like about God. When you ask Him a question you’re always going to get the same answer. There’s no vacillation. Of course, we know the Scripture says in James that a double-minded man is unstable in [What?] all of his ways. The thing that I’ve so really, in my life, tried to emulate is that people know where to find you. There’s no question when they approach you on any given subject what your answer is going to be. It’s the same. The circumstances don’t change it. The method of petition doesn’t change it. People’s emotions don’t change it—the fact that we know where to find God in His Word.

I want to read a couple of aspects on the immutability of God that’s really interesting. "To say that God is immutable is to say that He never differs from Himself." That’s quite a phrase isn’t it? He never differs from Himself. Immutability doesn’t only mean that God doesn’t change, the fact is He is who He is, and nothing, then, ever causes Him to be other than that. Many of us are used to things, especially in today’s society, of vacillating. We’re living in a day of course where existentialism is really the key philosophy of the day—of this era that we’re in. There are no absolutes. Aren’t you glad tonight that God is absolute? Not only is His Word absolute; His person is absolute. He’s always the same. His will is the same. His eternal purpose is the same. His methods are the same. And guess what? If your relationship with Him is different than it’s ever been, guess who changed? Amen. How many of you feel as close to God as you’ve always felt? How many of you feel as secure? How many of you feel as enlightened? How many of you feel as energized? How many of us feel as loved? How many of us feel secure tonight? Guess who’s changed?

As we talk about the immutability, God is not a man that He can lie. We have these immutable truths that God is truth. God is light. We can approach Him with boldness and security of those that come to Him. He’s not going to turn any of us away. "Yeah, but I’ve messed up." He’s not going to turn any of us away. He doesn’t change. Amen? Your access to God has nothing to do with whether you’re meritorious or not. Why? Because God is always accessible.

I think one of the coolest things about the attributes of God that I like is His infinitude. That what He is, He is limitlessly. Amen? So guess what? There is no limit to His mercy. There is no limit to His love. We usually like to apply it to His omnipresence, and we can know that He’s there for the victory. We like to put His infinitude into His attributes of His omnipotence. We say that there is no limit to God’s power. His omniscience, there is no limit—His infinitude. There is no limit to the knowledge of God, the wisdom of God. I like His infinitude, His limitlessness in His love and His mercy, in His approachability. "He never differs," Tozer says, "from Himself." The concept of a growing or developing God is not found in Scripture. "God cannot change for the better. Since He is perfectly holy, He has never been less holy than He is now and can never be holier than He is and has always been. Neither can God change for the worse." He [Tozer] begins to give us a little bit of insight.

As you talk about this aspect of the immutability of God, here are a couple of the sentences that I wanted us to start off with as we begin to talk about the faithfulness of God tonight. Don’t you love that? "Speak, Lord," and some thought it thundered. Tozer goes on to say this, "As there can be no mutation in the moral character of God, so there can be none within the divine essence. The being of God is unique in the only proper meaning of that word; that is, His being is other than and different from all other beings. We have seen how God differs from His creatures in being self-existent, self-sufficient, and eternal. By virtue of these attributes God is God and not some other being. One who can suffer any slightest degree of change is neither self-existent, self-sufficient, nor eternal, and so is not God. " I like how succinctly and how rational his [Tozer] thought is here in his knowledge of God.

Only a being composed of parts may change, for change is basically a shift in the relation of the parts of a whole [Are you getting this? This is good stuff!] or the admission of some foreign element into the original composition. Since God is self-existent, He is not composed." This is what makes Him immutable. He [Tozer] takes things that are so profound here and makes them so simple and so easy to understand. What he’s saying here is there are in Him no parts to be altered. Why is this important to us? Because when we get to understand God, most of us in our misunderstanding of God is thinking that one of His attributes are held up against the other. They work in absolute harmony. This is what is vital for us to understand. God is never in the throes that men put Him in of what do I do. I just feel so much compassion and mercy for this person, but I have to be just. God never experiences that. Not one moment is God ever in dilemma as to whether He should be merciful or just. Ever. We perceive these things but God is never in that balance. Why? Because God is in a unitary being, the unitary aspect of God—the Lord our God, the Lord is [say it] One. In His oneness and in His uniqueness and holiness, God is in that aspect of the plurality of His essence. The fact that all are in harmony—His justice is always merciful; His mercy is always just. It’s always to the infinitude of His being. There is never a little bit of mercy and a lot of justice. It is always perfectly just, perfectly merciful, perfectly loving and perfectly holy.

This is why this aspect of the immutability of God, and His unitary being is important for us to understand. Why? Because we’ve been dealing with some pretty heavy subjects here lately. We’ve been talking about our children and some of you have been in the throes of do I show them mercy, do I show them justice and the answer to that is what? [Yes.] God is in no dilemma. God will never be more merciful than He is just, and God will never be more righteous, judging and just than He is merciful. That’s why the Word has to be applied because the Word is [What?] truth. Let God be true and every man a liar. What happens when the Word then causes us to not be able to reason it out? I don’t understand. We’re coming up against another attribute of God. Amen. The fact is, God is infinite and we are [Say it—finite] so will you ever understand? So why try? Why not just do the Word, and let God sort it out. Amen? If we do the Word, we know we’re doing the truth. If we do the Word, whether our emotions are involved or whether our intellect is involved, when we’re doing the Word, we are applying perfect love, perfect mercy, and perfect justice at all times because God and His Word are [True.] Let’s go home. Amen? It’s that simple, really; the problem is we don’t know God. As long as we’re still trying to weigh one against the other, we don’t know God because God’s never involved in that. If you come to some understanding that would give more credit or weight to one of these attributes than the other, you’re in error and you’re on your way to heresy. That’s what we really want to take a look at and talk about as it comes to understanding God.

"Since God is self-existent, He is not composed. ‘Whatever is composed of parts,’ says Anselm, [who is one of the ancients, one of the writers] ‘is not altogether one, but is in some sort plural, and diverse from itself, and either in fact or in concept is capable of dissolution. [dissolving, diffracting]. But these things are alien to Thee.’ [He (Anselm) makes this comment,] ‘But Thou art so truly a unitary being, and so identical with Thyself, that in no respect art Thou unlike Thyself, rather Thou art unity itself, indivisible by any conception.’" That’s cool. You are so identical with Yourself that in no respect are You unlike Yourself. Think on that for just a second. Selah. So what Anselm is saying here in presenting this unitary being that to be other than infinitely just, merciful, loving, and wise is not to be God. Faith being the substance of things hoped for, the proof of things not seen. Faith then takes us into that place of applying the Word when it’s not comprehended, when it’s not emotionally or intellectually embraced, but because I know God, I trust Him more than I trust myself and my understanding of Him.

Wouldn’t that be good for children to be able to relate to their parents that way? I trust you more than I trust myself. What’s that saying? I know you love me. I don’t understand what you’re doing, but I know you love me. I don’t understand these requirements, but I know you’re wiser than I am. I know you have experienced more than I have. I know you are the God-designated authority. Therefore, I choose against myself because I know you. What am I saying? It would behoove us as parents to be known of our children as it behooves us to know God our Father. Part of what our children need to know of us is that we’re immutable. You’re not going to get any different answer than you got last week. You’re not going to get any answer next year different than what you get now, because all I have to share with you is, "It is written."

When we begin to know God and we begin to represent Him properly as parents and as heads of homes, it’s very important for us to understand that neither can we, if we’re going to represent God properly, ever lean and hold mercy up against justice or give more merit to one of these attributes than the other, because none of them would exist without the other because their origin is all [Who?] God. There is no justice without God. There is no morality without God. There is no truth without God. There is nothing, for all things were made by Him and for Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made. What are we trying to keep back for ourselves when it comes to meeting out the mercy of God, the justice of God and the love of God?

As he writes on, Tozer quoting Anselm here, "Thou art unity itself, indivisible by any conception." Here’s one of the parts of this book that I have highlighted—there are just so many times I’ll just open this book up and just go through it and read highlighted sections. It just gets you in the presence of God. It just stimulates your thoughts and your desire to know Him more. Little one-liners like this. You might want to write this down. God will not compromise. This is powerful. "God will not compromise and He need not be coaxed." How many of us try to come and coax God, convince God, wine and dine God, manipulate God and think that somehow we have to earn merit and, "Lord, through this prayer and through our much speaking and through my fasting"? He knows the beginning to the end. Where do you think the desire of our heart came from to approach Him in the first place? It all begins in Him. It’s by Him and it’s for Him. We’ve become so creature-oriented in so many ways. We’ve become, and as we’ve talked about our children here just recently, we’ve become so possessive. We think that somehow that the love that we have for them is ours. Where do you think it came from? All any man has in himself is self-love. Amen? Isn’t that the character of the sons of Adam? All that we think that we are representing is God’s gift and grace and mercy to us anyway. The possession is the gift of God to us. It’s not our own. Then we find ourselves, the creature, judging the Creator and the wisdom of God and the purpose of God and the character of God and the ability of God. We usurp, and we die in the tragedy of unbelief in the faithfulness of God.

In this chapter here, as Tozer is writing—I just love this one aspect of representing Him. All that God is He has always been. This is very simple but I can’t read it without getting fired up in my spirit. All that He has been and is He will ever be. That is a great definition of immutability. Immediately we go back and ask ourselves this, "How do we know God?" All that He is He has been and will be. Then we hear these words, "If you have seen Me [Say it] you’ve seen the Father." We’re not talking just in the earthly ministry of Jesus and the miracles and the power of God. We’re talking about the eternal purpose of God. When we were yet sinners, He loved us and died for us. Jesus, the sacrificial lamb, slain from before the foundations of the world is God’s will for you [Amen?] and for your children. Let me remind you beloved, God is not willing that any man should perish. Who are we protecting ourselves and ours from? What’s your view of God? Is He out to get you? Is His arm short? Is the enemy somehow overcoming us? What weapons are we reaching for if our faith isn’t working? Where is our hope if it’s not in God, and what other method than that’s been revealed—for Thy Word is truth? What is God’s purpose for us and for all men? Eternal life. Amen? God is not willing that [Say it] that any man should perish. To perish you must desire to perish. You must will against the will of God to perish, because by His Spirit, He’s drawing all men to Himself.

As we begin to look here in the next study that we’re going to go through here, and we begin to go back and remind ourselves who God is, what His purpose is for us, it causes us to then have come back and wrestle again with the whole duty of man. It begins to set our course and our priorities straight, doesn’t it? Just by knowing who God is and what His purpose is. It never changes. Circumstances don’t change. I’ll give you a little bit of an example. In the [Africa] pastors conference I really took a little bit of time, and I really chewed these guys out some. There’d been some murmuring about different things, and I may have shared this. (I don’t know. I was not here the last time I was here.) I don’t know if I shared any of this or not. There’d been a little bit of murmuring and different things going on and wondering why Forbe, Tony, Ron and them had vehicles and why they didn’t have more money and more different things. Don’t mistake what I’m saying. This wasn’t everybody and it wasn’t epidemic. As I went and began to share with these guys some—I shared some of the testimonies of you that are here. They all knew Dan. He’s been over there so many times, and I shared part of Dan’s testimony. He wouldn’t share that, but I shared with them that here’s a man that could be out making five times—ten times, possibly, the money he’s making, but these lives are more valuable to him. The privilege of serving in the kingdom is more valuable to him. I shared about some of you. Some of our deacons—some of you might not even know this—some of our deacons have turned down large increases offered to them in salary so that they can stay and take care of their flock. Thank God for these men. Amen? These things are not counted lightly. People that have given of their lives to come and serve the Body and contribute to the whole. I just, very frankly, I looked at these men and told them something. "You don’t deserve their money. You ought to be ashamed of yourselves." The reason is, and we went to Malachi, because the fact is they have never taught—not one of these men have ever taught on giving in their churches. They’re all beggars. They all think that their money ought to come from America or somebody else because "we’re poor." In the process of all of this, I went back. I began to talk to them a little bit about the integrity of the Word of God and the immutability of God. Of course they’ve been trained to think in shillings and currency so I took them back to Malachi. We went through Malachi and gave them some instruction. They had never heard the teaching of the priests’ responsibility out of Malachi. They had heard of tithing, but they didn’t realize that it was their job to require it, because they’ve always been told the people are too poor. We took them back to the immutability of God. I asked them a question. I said, "Let me ask you a question. How did your ancestors live a thousand years ago?" We didn’t have to go back that far, but I just wanted to take them back a little ways. They all said, "In the bush." I said, "Let me ask you this," because they know Scripture. They don’t always get them applied properly. I said, "Let me ask you this. The Bible says having food and raiment, and [they all could quote it]. A thousand years—how many of your ancestors were discontent that they didn’t have an automobile? How many of your ancestors were discontent that they didn’t have a cell phone?" They’re poor, but they all have cell phones. I told them to tell one guy—this guy’s [cell phone] went off twice, and I told them to tell him that if it goes off one more time I’m coming over there and throwing it out the window. It never went off anymore.

Things that are now necessities of life we have to have. Why is God not—what’s changed when God says having food and raiment let us therewith be [What? Be content.] Why has the twenty-first century changed anything? It has not. The knowledge that’s increased has not changed the simple application of the Word of God in our lives. Our cultures haven’t changed. As we go back and rest again on this understanding of who God is and what His purpose for what His creature is—for man in relationship to Himself, how can we be like a Polycarp and stand in such an extreme persecution if we’ve not learned how to be content and know Him now in our abundance? Whether it’s this crazy abundance that we have in America, or the relative abundance that they have in Kenya? Our circumstances, our cultures, don’t change the wisdom, the purpose of God and the responsibilities that we have as the children of God.

As we were talking about this, I wanted to share one other thing with you and then I’m coming to get into our teaching. As Tozer is writing, and just the things that I’ve been meditating on in light of where we’ve been, the Scripture says, "A faithful man who can find." It’s pretty valuable to find someone who’s faithful. Amen? Stop and think about that. The requirement of a steward is that he be found talented, successful, diligent, energetic, gifted—[no,] the requirement of a steward is that he be found [faithful]—the one character trait that God’s looking for in those of us that are caring for His kingdom, representing Him in this great kingdom is a fidelity to God. What causes infidelity? Selfishness, lust, distraction, covetousness, error, lack of understanding—all of these different things. For us to remain faithful to God, our faithfulness will continue in direct relationship to our knowledge of His worth—who He is. There is none else to seek. Why would we go after inferior gods? Why would we go after—like we’ve shared in the past, why would you steal a Volkswagen when you’ve got a Mercedes in the garage? That’s one thing for you men to understand. We’ve talked about these women that are out there and trying to flatter you and take you with their eyes and all of the different warnings that we have that Satan is using in this hour to try and bring those of us down that are believers and trying to live separate lives. Remind yourself every morning you leave the house that every model that you come up against is a Volkswagen. You’ve got a Mercedes—a home. Praise God! Amen? So when that woman comes up and kind of gives you the eyes, just go "beep beep" and call her Herbie.

Do we know what we have in the pearl of great price? Do we know God? Have we in the distractions, the cares, and the lack of study, prayer and fellowship devalued our God? Have we been unfaithful in reminding ourselves daily of what we have? We’re not faithful to God if we aren’t as awed of Him today as we’ve ever been, enticed by Him, ravished with His love as we’ve ever been. There is an unfaithfulness that’s already brewing in our hearts. When we take this time to study the attributes of God, it’s mainly to get us to fall in love with Him again, for many of us to return to see the high calling of being about His business. If God’s faithful, and His Spirit indwells us, then it mandates faithfulness in us. It’s who we are because without Him we can do nothing.

Let’s talk for just a moment—we talked about the immutability—I want to talk and give you a couple of thoughts that Tozer has on the faithfulness of God, then I want to go to the Scriptures. We’re going to take some time to—I won’t say expound upon this—because I would sure not presume to be able to expound upon or improve upon anything that Tozer would write. I am not as presumptuous as that young preacher said one time to C. M. Ward. How many of you know who C. M. Ward is? He used to be an Assembly of God Revival Time broadcaster, one of the great preachers of the Assemblies of God. He said he had just gotten through just preaching his heart out—this dude could preach—and he was just preaching his heart out. He told this story as true, whether it was or not, he was a great storyteller too. I remember he said to us one day. He said, "You know what? All this prosperity teaching—I don’t preach prosperity, I live it." He did and he never taught it. He was an interesting character. He came into a huge conference one time—if you sat in the first three rows when he was preaching, you’d be wet. He was one of those spitters, but a great preacher and a quick wit. He was sitting there one time, and it was at one of the big conferences. He was just kind of antsy and waiting. They’re introducing him and he’s wiggling around. Just as they are getting ready to introduce him, the back leg of the chair slips off the back of the platform. He just flips over backwards off the platform, jumps up and comes up to the pulpit and says, "I don’t do that for just everybody." He was never lost for something to say. He had just preached this message and it was an outstanding message. He said this young preacher came up to him and said, "Brother Ward, I’m going to take that little talk of yours and make a real message out of it." A little bit of presumption.

The faithfulness of God—Tozer writing says, talking about God’s faithfulness, "We see, for instance, that if God is self-existent He must be also self-sufficient; and if He has power He, being infinite, must have all power. If He possesses knowledge, His infinitude assures us that He possesses all knowledge. Similarly, His immutability presuppose His faithfulness." He can’t be anything but. His promises are sure to a thousand generations, the Scripture tell us. In the faithfulness of God, remember, most of us as soon as we say faithfulness, we think of His faithfulness to His promises. He’s promised to never leave us nor forsake us. Can you say, "praise God," for that? All of His promises are yea and amen. They are sure, His covenant promises, to a thousand generations, but we need to start at the beginning. I’m not as concerned with God being faithful in His promise to me as I am in God being faithful to who He is. Amen?

That’s what I want to know; that’s what we’re talking about in immutability and in faithfulness. "God’s acts [(you might want to get this in your notes) or actions] are consistent with all of His attributes." Now we may say, "Of course." Let me say it again. "God’s acts [or actions] are consistent with all of His attributes." What’s that telling us? Don’t choose favorites. Don’t choose a favorite attribute. Don’t lean too strongly to one area. Some would want to represent the justice of God, and we want to thunder against all unrighteousness and set everything right, praise God, but it’s to be done in love, mercy, gentleness, meekness, temperance and faithfulness. Amen? "Brother, you need to be more compassionate. You need to be more patient. You need to be more understanding," and we start leaning that way. God cannot be other than just and right. His Word is true. Let every man be a liar. Don’t think for a moment that His mercy will ever keep His judgment from coming upon the unrighteous—upon sin. Not for a moment will God ever wink at sin. His love, His mercy, His gentleness, His grace never, never negates, diffuses, immobilizes any other aspect of who He is. He is in plurality all equal. All that God is, manifest equally at all times in every action, in every thought, in every purpose. It’s never one way or the other. It’s never out of balance. You go, I don’t understand. I know; that’s why we trust His Word. This of what He revealed of Himself. I’m always careful when I say this. I try to qualify it, but I just want you to understand again, God is bigger than His Word. This Bible, all this revelation we have, is not all that there is to God. It’s all we need to know Him to affect and reveal His purpose, regeneration, His reinstitution and reconciliation of man back to Himself. If you have trouble understanding some of these things—these are the things He wrote to finite minds. He’d short-circuit us. There’s stuff out there that you’d just go tilt. How great is our God, Amen!

His ways are beyond our ways. His love in infinitude—limitless. You can’t understand the love of God. You have no reference point. We talk about a mother’s love. Give me a break. Mothers have eaten their kids. How dare we question the love of God! What reference point do you even have to understand love other than the finite understanding of Jesus—God revealed in the flesh? The ultimate of what finite can comprehend. It’s beyond that—way beyond that He loves you. While we were sinners, Jesus loved us; He died for us. It is way beyond that praise God that He loves you. He’s working every thing for your good right now. Can you say praise God for that? He’s faithful. He is always the same. There is no change in His purpose, or His pursuit of His creation as it pertains to reconciliation.

"All of God’s acts are consistent with all of His attributes. No attribute contradicts any other, but all harmonize and blend into each other in the infinite abyss of the Godhead. [This dude can write, man!] All that God does agrees with all that God is, and being and doing are one in Him." I like that. Being and doing are one in Him. He can’t do anything other than what He is; what He is He always does. Don’t expect something else to happen. He’s immutable. He’s faithful to who He is. "The familiar picture of God as often torn between His justice and His mercy is altogether false to the facts. To think of God as inclining first toward one and then toward another of His attributes is to imagine a God who is unsure of Himself, frustrated and emotionally unstable, which of course is to say that the one of whom we are thinking is not the true God at all but a weak, mental reflection of Him badly out of focus. " It’s your perception of God. It’s you projecting on God your preferences of who He is. Thus the phrase, and how many times have you heard this, "My god would never do…" My god would never allow an innocent child to suffer. My god would never and that’s right. Your god wouldn’t but God would. You’re out of focus. Let God be true and every man a liar.

As it pertains to the subject matter we’ve just been talking about, whether it pertains to teaching of walking in the spirit, knowing the will of God—Lord, what’s Your will for my life. Oh God, I just want to hear Lord. Jesus speak to me Lord about who am I going to marry. That seems to be a big topic in some of our minds. You’re seeking the wrong thing. God’s already said that it’s not good for man to be alone. He’s already given us the guideline. You can’t be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. He’s already stated His purpose for you. The more we begin to pray and want to coax God into thinking that we don’t have a list. You know that list you don’t have. You have a list even if your list is don’t have a list. Number one, to make God happy, don’t have a list. Be truthful. Be open. Understand that God loves you. He is going to respond to you always in the same way, whether you had a good day, bad day. We’ve been through all of that. Don’t project upon Him this false image based upon your finite perception of morality, holiness or whatever else it might be. Stand before Him in awe, undone, in humility and say, "I don’t know myself, thy will be done," in absolute trust in the goodness of God, the wisdom of God and the faithfulness of God. If we’re not careful we’ll want to know why You haven’t done this; why You did that. We’re questioning God’s faithfulness to Himself which is love, justice, rightness, truth, whether we can comprehend it or not.

"God, being who He is, cannot cease to be what He is, and being what He is [Maybe it’s just me, but I like the way he (Tozer) writes.], He cannot act out of character with Himself. He is at once faithful and immutable, so all His words and acts must be and remain faithful… He is [If you can’t get anything else, get this. Put it in your notes.] His own reason for all He is and does." He is His own reason for all He is and does. He is His own reason for all He is and does." It’s not about you; [Amen] it’s not about yours. It’s not about America. It’s not about morality. It’s not about our finite comprehension of who He is and what He does. He is His own reason for all He is and does. I Am that I Am. Amen. We judge Him faithful. We judge Him right. We judge Him wise because that’s what He’s revealed Himself to be and that’s all we’ve ever known Him to be. Why would He change in this situation we find ourselves in today, or the one we’re going to find ourselves in tomorrow? For God and His Word are one. He’s the Lord; He changes not. His promises are yea and amen, and we rest in Him. We cast our care upon Him because He cares for us.

"He is His own reason for all He is and does. He cannot be compelled from without, [I like that.] but ever speaks and acts from within Himself by His own sovereign will as it pleases Him." Amen. So be it. Let’s go home because that’s the truth and that’s what this thing is all about. Last sentence and then we are going home. "I think it might be demonstrated that almost every heresy that has afflicted the church through the years has arisen from believing about God things that are not true, or from overemphasizing…[recording ends here…] certain true things as to obscure other things equally true." [Quotation continued as written in the Tozer book, The Knowledge of the Holy].
