D. A. Carson Quotes

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.
