Thought Provoking

Don't have time to write the millions of things that I wish I could be blogging about (it has been like drinking from the Firehose of God lately). But I found this on my pastor's blog and wanted to pass it on to you guys:

“People do not drift toward holiness. Apart from grace-driven effort, people do not gravitate toward godliness, prayer, and 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.” Quoted from D A Carson's: For the Love of God.

Here's Matt's blog if you want to read his thoughts on it as well.
