With the world, indwelling sin, and early education all arguing the same way, it requires the power of the gospel of grace to change a man’s thinking!
Intellects which are willing to drift backwards and forwards on the ebb and flow of the tides of changing theories will, at the end, be driven by the winds of uncertainty into the quicksands of atheism. Such people are not willing to get down to realities.
