Five vows

In my late teens/early twenties, I came across AW Tozer’s “Five vows for spiritual power.” I’ve tried to live my life by them ever since. At times they’ve been inconvenient, I’ve certainly broken all of them at one time or another, but they’ve formed a compass for my life. They’ve simplified decision making. They’ve convicted me. They remain a guide.

Here they are:

1. Deal thoroughly with sin
2. Never own anything
3. Never defend yourself
4. Never pass on anything about anyone else that will hurt them
5. Never accept any glory
