Check out this quote from D.A. Carson. I found it this morning at Simply Vintage Girl.
“People do not drift towards holiness.
Apart from grace-driven effort, people do not gravitate towards godliness, prayer, obedience to Scripture, faith, or delight in the Lord.
We drift toward compromise and call it tolerance;
Toward disobedience and we call it freedom;
Toward superstition and call it faith.
We cherish the non-discipline 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.”

Exactly!
Yikes! That's a convicting quote!
