You can't make yourself saved. This is very threatening to people, even Christians, because of what it seems to say about freedom.
John PiperWe will wait. We will wait till all is made righteous (glorious) according to the word of God.
John PiperIt isn't sex by itself that makes abortion. It is sex plus covetousness: desiring things that God does not will for us to have because we are not willing to find our satisfaction in him. Illicit sex and unencumbered freedom without children: for these we covet, and abortion is the result.
