Arthur W. Pink says in his book, "Our Accountability to God":
"The theology of the last century has failed lamentably at two essential points, namely, its teaching concerning God and its teaching concerning fallen man. As one writer expressed it, 'On the one hand, they have not ascended high enough...on the other hand, they do not descend low enough.' God is infinitely greater and His dominion far more absolute and extensive than more theologians admit, and man has sunk much lower and is far more depraved than they will allow."
Dear Lord, thank You that You do "not deal with us according to our sin nor repay us according to our iniquity"; increasingly open my eyes to see Your greatness and my utter lostness so that I may live in continual awe and gratitude and radical worship; deliver me from lukewarmness which comes from lack of revelation of how high You are and how low I am apart from You. Thank You, thank You, thank You for so great a salvation!
