Your Precepts - Psalm 119:45
"The free man has never been a religious tyrant, nor has he sought to lord it over God's heritage. It is fear and lack of self assurance that has led men to try to crush others under their feet. These have had some interest to protect, some position to secure, so they have demanded subjection from their followers as a guarantee of their own safety. But the free man - never; he has nothing to protect, no ambition to pursue, no enemy to fear." - Tozer
Tozer's a gem. To me he rates second on my list after C.S. Lewis. I've only just started this book - 'Of God and Men', but already it's good. And yes, if you've read my earlier blogs, I'm currently reading a few books concurrently.
The aforementioned quote cuts across time, culture, gender, religion....
But it is this line that causes one to pause:
'..the free man - never; he has nothing to protect, no ambition to pursue, no enemy to fear.'
The question is - how free are you?
