Despite the truth to his statement and the correct Biblical references Tozer addresses in validating his conviction, I am convinced that at critical junctures God has strengthened His people’s resolve by appointing Divine engagements. (For example, when Jethro advised Moses on the wisdom in delegation and during Israel’s battle with the Amalekites, as Aaron and Hur supported the weary arms of Moses.) In Luke’s Gospel we find our Savior’s parable about the Good Samaritan who comes to the aide of an assaulted traveler, Paul also references multiple people of God who supported him throughout his ministry. Personally, there are numerous junctures when God provided men who challenged me spiritually, intellectually and creatively.
You ask what impact JK Minton has made upon my life? I am incapable of justly articulating the significant role J.K. has had upon me as bondservant of God, husband, father, grandfather and Pastor. I am humbled by the appointed times when our benevolent eternal Father has rejuvenated my soul and strengthen our call to the ministry. For more that fifteen years, Dr. Minton has helped me navigate through Church Revitalization, Conflict Resolution, and Implementing Change. It is both unnecessary and spiritually unhealthy for the saint to walk alone, J.K. is a trusted Mentor, Coach and Brother.
