This is the ultimate test of true repentance and the thing that differentiates it most of all from remorse – repentance gives us a hunger and thirst after righteousness. It makes us desire to be like Christ and more and more like Him, to be righteous and holy and clean. We do not simply feel sorrow because we have fallen again and because we are suffering afterwards and have let ourselves down – not at all. Remorse is negative – repentance is positive. - D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
For godly sorrow
worketh repentance
to salvation not
to be repented of: but the sorrow of
the world worketh death. - 2 Corinthians 7:10
. . . the age of the earth issue is not a side issue, but one that really is an authority issue about the Bible—a battle between the authority of the Word of God and the beliefs of fallible, sinful humans. - Ken Ham
