Sunday Thoughts

This weekend I was reading The Dark Side of Islamby R.C. Sproul and Abdul Saleeb. I came across a statement by Dr. Sproul that poignantly reminds us of our fallen tendency to have a low view of God’s holiness and a misplaced view of own.  It is a quote worth sharing:

“As long as we can keep the character of God in eclipse and can conceal from our vision who He is, we can continue to flatter ourselves that we can balance the scales of justice or earn our way into the kingdom of God. This is the greatest human delusion there is.”

I pray that you have a wonderful Sunday of worship and rest.
