Older articles: Is God's Presence known apart from God's Word? Check out this closer examination of Tozer's chapter 5 of "I call it Heresy", where he seems to teach exactly that.

The writings of A.W. Tozer have confused and damaged, more than helped, the Christian church. Read and see why. The second article on this person is Tozer and Calvinism. And this third article has to do with Tozer's Ordo Salutis, "order of salvation".

The whole issue of cult versus non-cult is an unbiblical and potentially dangerous distinction. There is a better question than "Is this a cult?"

Thy Word is ... Straightforward! : How often we overlook the absolute unadorned straightforwardness of God's Truth!

Loving God with all your mind means that we are to search the Word diligently, instead of dismissing the hard parts as being "too hard for me!" See the new article, Blinders.
