Quine on the Desire to Help

Who comes to the aid of the guilty? Who helps the condemned? Only in Christ may a judicial advocate defend the guilty, like a woman caught in prostitution. While there is a place for the prodigal son, there is nowhere for the prodigal woman to return. Those not her gender are the authors of her ruin. Would she freely embrace such a lifestyle? No. You see, to defend the helpless destined for guilty verdicts requires a fresh evaluation we would rather not face. It is easier to pronounce guilt. The Biblical word for “help” means in part to come to the aid of the guilty. To speak when they have no voice. This is Dr. Jay Quine. The Holy Spirit of God has come to speak for you. Turn to him as your helper in times of need.
