"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."
All the more reason to fight vigorously, through the help of the Spirit, against our sins.
