Seeking His Glory in Evangelizing All Peoples
Seek God....that His people would reflect His great name.

In his classic book The Pursuit of God, A. W. Tozer states that when God created our world he first created things. Then, he created mankind. The things became very important to man. These things became so important to our first parents that they denied God and sought things. They sinned against God and brought death as a penalty on us all.

In the cover letter for the Seek GOD for the CITY 2010 booklet states the same thing. “Prayers focused on needs [things] can gradually shrink to selfish wish-lists concerning our own circumstances.” Let’s pray that we do not concentrate on the needs [things] of others in the world, but on the spread of God’s grace and life to all. In these trying times, it is very easy to dwell on things instead of true spiritual needs.

It says in the Bible that God so loved the world that he gave His only son to die for us. It does not say he died for us to give us things.
