Al Mohler, in Preaching the Cross:
We live in a world in which it makes sense not to worry. We have childproof caps on our medicine bottles. We have warnings on coffee cups from McDonald’s that we ought not to drive with the beverage in our lap. We have vaccines, antibiotics, MRIs, and CAT scans. We have OSHA, and bumpers on our cars that are made to receive the impact and then return to normal. We are told to wear seat belts. We have a massive military and a police force. We have hospitals, and we think we are safe. We even extend this financially: we want to retire, we have investments, and we feel safe.
Most Christians throughout the history of Christianity, however, have not felt safe.
Words of Grace
