“People do not drift toward holiness.
Apart from grace-driven effort, people
do not gravitate toward godliness, prayer, obedience to
Scripture, faith, and delight in the Lord.
We drift toward compromise and call it tolerance;
we drift toward disobedience
and call it freedom;
we drift toward superstition and call it faith.We cherish the
indiscipline of lost self-control and call it relaxation;
we slouch toward prayerlessness
and delude ourselves into thinking we have escaped legalism;
we slide toward godlessness and convince ourselves we have been liberated.”
― D.A. Carson
