Re: Confrontation of Truth
Truth demands confrontation; loving confrontation, but confrontation
nevertheless. If our reflex 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 with out holiness, is not God's
kind of love. God is holy and God is love....A false spirit of
accomodation is sweeping the world as well as the Church, including
those who claim the label of evangelical. --Francis Schaeffer
"..just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that
we should be holy and without blame before Him in love...that we
should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with
every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning
craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may
grow up in all things into Him who is the head; Christ.."
(Eph 1:4,4:14-15)
Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our
common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to
contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the
saints. (Jude 1:3)
My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed
and in truth. And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall
assure our hearts before Him. (1 Jn3:18-19)
