Experiencing The Spirit

“Modern Christianity is simply not producing the kind of Christian who can appreciate or experience the life in the Spirit.” –Tozer.

I am not certain of Christianity in Tozer’s day, but today I think that is less true. The concern that Tozer is focused on is less a concern today, although still true in some places. The Charismatic movement has given the Spirit again his proper place in the Christian life, and although many do not experience this, it is still a mighty change from a hundred years ago. Also, the evangelicals, as well as the new worship forms, have re-emphasized God’s majesty and greatness. However, it is true, that few Christians do the necessary work of connecting with the Spirit or truly seeing and responding to God in His magnificent state.
