“True religion confronts earth with heaven and brings eternity to bear upon time. The messenger of Christ, though he speaks from God, must also, as the Quakers used to say, ‘speak to the condition’ of his hearers; otherwise he will speak a language known only to himself. His message must be not only timeless but timely. He must speak to his own generation.”

(A. W. Tozer, The Knowledge of the Holy: The Attributes of God: Their Meaning in the Christian Life, Lincoln, Nebraska: Back to the Bible Broadcast, 1971, from Preface)
