Love and Holiness, not Accomodation

"In every generation God calls his people to show forth his love and holiness, to be faithful to him, and to stand against accommodation with the world's values of the day. In order to show forth God's love and holiness and to present the Good News to our generation in such a way that the message has viability, we must try in a balanced way not to fall into the... mistake of thinking that we are courageous and 'being with it' when we are really only fitting into what is the accepted thought-form of the age around us."

- Francis Schaeffer, from The Great Evangelical Disaster
