A quote from The Vanishing Conscience by John MacArthur


“Christians are rapidly losing sight of sin as the root of all
human woes. And many Christians are explicitly denying
that their own sin can be the cause of their personal
anguish. More and more are attempting to explain the
human dilemma in wholly unbiblical terms: temperament,
addiction, dysfunctional families, the child within, codependency,
and a host of other irresponsible escape
mechanisms promoted by secular psychology.
The potential impact of such a drift is frightening.
Remove the reality of sin, and you take away the
possibility of repentance. Abolish the doctrine of human
depravity and you void the divine plan of salvation. Erase
the notion of personal guilt and you eliminate the need for
a Savior. Obliterate the human conscience, and you will
raise an amoral and unredeemable generation. The church
cannot join hands with the world in such a grossly satanic
enterprise. To do so is to overthrow the very gospel we
are called to proclaim.”
