Calvinism vs Arminianism and Wise Advice from Tozer
I
was preparing to go to Nyack College. Before I left there was one burning
question I had in mind, and I went to Dr. Tozer and said, "Could you give
me some advice concerning the problem of Calvinism versus Arminianism?"
And
I'll never forget the advice he gave me. At the time I thought it was rather
inconclusive and not too helpful. But I listened carefully. He said, "My
son, when you get to college you're going to find that all of the boys will be
gathered in a room discussing and arguing over Arminianism and Calvinism night
after night after night. I'll tell you what to do, Cliff. “Go to your room and
meet God. At the end of four years you'll be way down the line and they'll
still be where they started”, because greater minds than yours have wrestled
with this problem and have not come up with satisfactory conclusions. Instead,
learn to know God." (Cliff
