What an interesting quote...
|
I'll confess, I have no idea who the person is who said this... but I saw it online yesterday and it keeps ringing in my head. Im going to assume that this person lived in the past, because you rarely hear anyone challenge peoples 'comfort zone' like this anymore... where are the good OLD preachers? "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" what do you think? I'd have to agree with most of it... maybe all of it. but the compromise/tolerance really rings true to me. I am so tired of left wing liberals telling us we need to be more tolerant and yet they shut down Christians with their "don't judge" comments. WHY do we have to tolerate their sin, but they don't have to tolerate our faith? Just my deep thoughts today.... I have lots more to post, but will have to wait for a later day to do it. Today is my Kelly girls birthday, so we've got plans ;) |
