A.W. Tozer 

At an Evangelical Press Association convention  the great theologian Tozer reflected:

1. Evangelicals need to produce a 20th century brand of Christianity “manifestly superior” to any other way of life. Only a realistic application of that faith to present day life can make it effective.
2. Evangelicals must cease “spiritual inbreeding” and reach out beyond traditional theological and denominational lines for new life giving streams of thought and action. 
3. Evangelicals need to stop imitating and begin initiating. The world may look to Christian leadership when new heights of vision and accomplishment present.
4. Evangelicals must emphasize the “‘interiority” of the Chrstian faith with less attention to externals and superficial modernity and more focus on the deeper life hidden with Christ in God. (Lebar, 1981, pp. 47-48)
