I Know You're Lurking

I know at least one or two members of my community group occasionally lurk in the background of this blog. You lurkers can now put a mystery to rest:

I gave an analogy this past week in group that floored everyone. I was immediately asked if I thought of it myself. I said, "No, I'm pretty sure I read it somewhere."

I did.

And imagine my surprise when I discovered yesterday that it was, again, Tozer, whom I had quoted last week on this blog. So groupies, now you know the source of the quote. And for the rest of you, pay attention because this is good:

"Someone may fear that we are magnifying private religion out of all proportion, that the "us" of the New Testament is being displaced by a selfish "I." Has it ever occured to you that one hundred pianos all tuned to the same fork are automatically tuned to each other? They are of one accord being tuned, not to each other, but to another standard to which each must individually bow. So one hundred worshippers meeting together, each one looking away to Christ, are in heart nearer to each other than they could possibly be were they to become "unity" conscious and turn their eyes away from God to strive for closer fellowship."
