[P]eople who say, "I am an agnostic,” proudly. From the Greek, "one who doesn't know.” They do, "I'm an agnostic.” You hear people say that. You know what the Latin word for "agnostic” is? Ignoramus. You hear anybody say, "I am an ignoramus”? Really? (John F. MacArthur)

Your temptation will pass and you will spend the remaining days of your life in humility. Only do not forget your sin. View quote
