The path of true security lies between two falsehoods–one is the lie of false hopefulness that says we are secure when we are not secure, and the other is the lie of false hopelessness that says we are not secure when we are secure. It is my conviction that in our zeal to oppose false hopefulness that springs from “once saved, always saved” and other heresies that turn grace into licentiousness, that we either fail to teach the truth about security or we overreact and oppose false hopefulness with teachings that take away all hope causing some to live in terror of an inescapable hell, to give up, or to accept the lies of false hopefulness we so rightly oppose.
