The Knowledge of the Holy

This week we are looking at the third commandment so in preparation for this lesson I reread A. W. Tozer's book, The Knowledge of the Holy. I knew that this was good preparation for how we as Christians misuse the name of God, we do it because we do not have a knowledge of the Almighty.
He says in the final chapter: "When viewed from the perspective of eternity, the most critical need of this hour may well be that the Church should be brought back from her long Babylonian captivity and the name of God be glorified in her again as of old."
He also said this about the Law and this I quote from the chapter called the Grace of God: "There never was a time when the law did not represent the will of God for mankind nor a time when the violation of it did not bring its own penalty."
The Church needs to come to grips with The Knowledge of the Holy.
