Gospel-Driven Quote of the Week (1-04-10)
Jan 4, 2010
"You may expect me to say something about vows. However, I will only say this about them. Do not think you will bring yourself to be a better person, or to do good works, by vows and promises- as if the strength of your own law could do it when the strength of God's law cannot do it. We tell children to make promises to change their ways, but we know how well they keep their promises! The devil will urge you to make a vow, and then break it, so he may frustrate you and torment your conscience all the more."
Walter Marshall, The Gospel Mystery of Sanctification, p. 218
