From that same site:

Chapter 4: Listen to the Man Who Listens to God

”Listen to no man who fails to listen to God.” ...David warns against the counsel of the ungodly, and Bible history gives examples of men who made a failure of their lives because they took wrong advice.... No man has any right to counsel others who is not ready to hear and follow the counsel of the Lord. True moral wisdom must always be an echo of God’s voice. The only safe light for our path is the light which is reflected from Christ, the Light of the World...."

Tozer is so cool isn't he. I've been seeking good advice this week, as well as attempting to give it, and this has just reminded me of what good advice really is. We are studying spiritual gifts in my small group and I'm always frustrated when people try to wield them like they are some sort of superpowers that they are endowed with in the blaze of a comic-bookesque solar flare of Holy fire. As glamorous and thrilling as it would seem, we are not the X-men, nor have we been exposed to any genetically altered spiders recently. That I know of.
