"No person, no matter how clever and deceitful,……" — John Macarthur
"No person, no matter how clever and deceitful, can indefinitely hide a character that is rotten and out of tune with God. John Calvin said, 'Nothing is more difficult to counterfeit than virtue.' It demands too much. It demands more than any person has in himself, and when God's divine provision and power are absent the charade cannot last long."
