“Never appeal to that which enslaves the sinner in an effort to convince the sinner of his need to be rescued from the very enslavement you’re appealing to.
Don’t ever appeal to materialism, sex, pleasure, personal ambition, a better life, success…don’t ever appeal to that.
You’re appealing to what enslaves the sinner in the effort to convince him of his need to be rescued from that very enslavement.”
– John MacArthur, T4G08
