Series: The Pursuit of God
Message – Chapter 7 – The Gaze of the Soul III
{No audio this week.}
For Discussion
- Tozer equates seeing with believing. Seeing God however, is more than simply looking for, to or even at Him. Seeing is done with the heart…, but what kind of heart you have when you are looking in large part determines what is unveiled to you. Discuss how love and a passion for obedience effect if, what and how much God is seen by us.
- Discuss how these things help but are no replacement for a heart whose gaze at God is constant.
- Private prayer
- LONG periods of Bible study and meditation
- Church attendance
- Serving others (esp. your siblings in Christ)
- Devoting yourself to your gifting
- Tozer explains that social activities and efforts put into unity within a Christian community is pointless, if each individual has not perfected private religion FIRST!
“Social religion is perfected when private religion is purified.” – Talk about this.
- Everything this chapter has taught us concerning faith, presupposes a true heart change and 100% full committal of the life to God. Without resorting to the overly obvious Sunday school answers, discuss this truth which is in heart, very much like the last one.
