Streams in the Desert states that God is in the business of “Making Straight the Crooked”, and introduces the idea that we can thank God for those hard things, for “its very crookedness taught me to cling.”
Tozer has some warnings for those “Leaning Toward Heresy” and cautions those in the Church that “to believe that God is different from what He actually is, that concept becomes heresy of the most insidious and deadly kind!”

We use Isaiah 66:5 for our prayer time scripture, and close with “Peril” from The Valley of Vision. So many sober warnings for us today. “The night is far spent, the day is at hand…”
