SPIRITUAL
PHILOSOPHY

You know that I preached some time ago in Dr. A. B. Simpson’s old tabernacle church at Times Square in New York City. The pastor was a learned brother with a delightful southern drawl.

After I had preached several days, we were walking together in the midst of those hurrying throngs when he turned to me and said, “Brother Tozer, I think I have figured you out.”

I asked him what he had discovered.

“I believe I have found your basic spiritual philosophy,” he said. “I think it boils down to this: ‘Everything is wrong until Jesus sets it right!’ “

I replied, “Thank you, brother. That is it. I would say you have summed it up.”

I had not thought about it in that way but I think he had it right, and that is where I stand, ladies and gentlemen. Everything is wrong until Jesus sets it right.
