“ Christianity today is man-centered, not God-centered. God is made to wait patiently, even respectfully, on the whims of men. The image of God currently popular is that of a distracted Father, struggling in heartbroken desperation to get people to accept a Savior of whom they feel no need and in whom they have very little interest. To persuade these self-sufficient souls to respond to His generous offers God will do almost anything, even using salesmanship methods and talking down to them in the chummiest way imaginable. This view of things is, of course, a kind of religious romanticism which, while it often uses flattering and sometimes embarrassing terms in praise of God, manages nevertheless to make man the star of the show.” A.W. Tozer

When did he write that? He died in '63.

"Christianity today is man-centered" we have found this so true. Its why we have left the Western cultured protestantism. Been listening to and reading about other dropouts, knowing that something was missing in their walk with Christ and not knowing WHAT exactly that was, a fullness of the faith. Its been very revelational exploring the ancient faiths of Roman Catholism and Eastern Orthodoxy.
