~quote of the day~
"Strange as it may seem, the danger today is greater for the fervent Christian than for the lukewarm and the self-satisfied. The seeker after God’s best things is eager to hear anyone who offers a way by which he can obtain them. He longs for some new experience, some elevated view of truth, some operation of the Spirit that will raise him above the dead level of religious mediocrity he sees all around him, and for this reason he is ready to give a sympathetic ear to the new and the wonderful in religion, particularly if it is presented by someone with an attractive personality and a reputation for superior godliness.""
-Tozer, “How to Try the Spirits“, chapter 28, Man, The Dwelling Place of God

This quote interests me. Why? Because of my dad's position on whether or not there is a God. He said to me this... that he has not experienced Him in any way, and just wants God to show him that He exists by some supernatural/spiritual means. He has given over 40 years of his life to this, and now he has given up. Yet the bible says... no sign will be given except that of Jonah and that it is an evil and adulterous generation that seeks a sign other than the risen Lord!
