DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.W. Tozer emphasizes the need for Christians to shift their focus from
external religious practices to the internal and spiritual understanding
of God's perfection and glory. He expresses a desire for the church to
recapture the awe and majesty of God, which has been diminished in
contemporary worship. Tozer calls for a revival of the biblical concepts
of God's holiness and beauty, urging believers to preach, sing, and
share these truths to experience true delight in worship. He believes
that only what is holy can be truly beautiful, and that Christians
should embrace the beauty of God's holiness in their lives.

I hope that if I am remembered at all it will be for this reason: I have
spent my efforts and my energies trying to turn the direction of the
people away from the external elements of religion to those that are
internal and spiritual. I have tried to take away some of the clouds in
the hope that men and women would be able to view God in His glory. I
would like to see this sense of glory recaptured throughout the church-
too many Christians do not expect to experience any of the glory until
they see Him face to face! Within our Christian fellowship and worship,
we must recapture the Bible concepts of the perfection of our God Most
High!

We have lost the sense and the wonder of His awe-fullness, His
perfection, His beauty.

Oh, I feel that we should preach it, sing it, write about it, talk about
it and tell it until we have recaptured the concept of the Majesty of
God! Only that can be beautiful ultimately which is holy-and we who
belong to Jesus Christ should know the true delight of worshiping God in
the beauty of His holiness!
