Truth demands confrontation: loving confrontation, but confrontation nevertheless. If our reflect action is always accommodation regardless of the centrality of the truth involved, there is something wrong. Just as what we may call holiness without love is not God’s kind of holiness, so also what we may call love without holiness, is not God’s kind of love. God is hoy and God is love…. [A] false spirit of accommodation is sweeping the world as well as the church, including those who claim the label of evangelical.
Francis Schaeffer, The Great Evangelical Disaster. Cited in “Quotable,” The Berean Call, May 1996
