On Our Pastors' Minds

Pietism vs Quietism. Both are Losers.

In his book "Our Sufficiency in Christ", John MacArthur describes two extreme views of sanctification: quietism and pietism. Quietism is best seen in the Higher Life Movement and Victorious Life Movement that grew out of Keswick Theology. The mantra of this movement is, "Let Go and Let God." It is view that sees our sanctification as a something sovereignly enacted by God as we passively allow Him to be God in our lives.

The Foundation of Sanctification in Reformed Theology

Rather than view Christians first and foremost in the microcosmic context of their own progress, the Reformed doctrine first of all sets them in the macrocosm of God's activity in redemptive history. It is seeing oneself in this context that enables the individual Christian to grow in true holiness.
