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.

Hey what happened to the little sig at the bottom of the post?
Pea # 1 Alli
This post was not from a specific pea, but just a general post. That's why I didn't put my name under it. :)
So do you all just agree on it?
oh nice quote btw. :)
Yeah, we all have to check with one another before a post goes up. Just to agree on the content.
Well I think that quote's so true.
Apart from the grace of God, we would all be blind and lost in our own sin. Isn't it just scary how natural & easy it is for us to sin, and then try to justify our sin by calling it "tolerance" or "freedom"? Yet God choses to bring us out of that & save us!
Well Alli, that's hard to believe,seeming that you didn't check it with me. :)
Pea #5 (Dani)
