Yesterday we were listening to Chip Ingram on 94.7 FM, Christian Talk Radio. Chip was preaching on reading great books, specifically great Christian writings. The first author he mentioned really learning from was the great pastor and writer, A. W. Tozer. A couple of his most famous books were The Knowledge of the Holy and The Pursuit of God. Since I love all things iPhone, I looked Tozer up to see if there were any apps. I downloaded The Pursuit of God and started reading it today. The first chapter alone was enough to draw me in, as Tozer wrote about "Following Hard after God," which was his chapter title.
We as Christians must truly follow hard after God. Even when we're trying hard to worship in a body of believers, study, pray and read the Scriptures, at times we don't really follow hard after God. Tozer wrote about truly making God our focus, in which case nothing else matters quite as much as serving Him in all aspects of our lives. When we live our lives focused on Him, everything else is viewed through a much better lens.
I look forward to reading more of Tozer's book on my iPhone, and learning better how to follow hard after God...
