Schaeffer: radical opposition to wrong

Feast of John Vianney, Curè d’Ars, 1859
Meditation:
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.
—2 Timothy 2:15 (NIV)

Quotation:
The Christian is the real radical of our generation, for he stands against the monolithic, modern concept of truth as relative. But too often, instead of being the radical, standing against the shifting sands of relativism, he subsides into merely maintaining the status quo. If it is true that evil is evil, that God hates it to the point of the cross, and that there is a moral law fixed in what God is in Himself, then Christians should be the first into the field against what is wrong.
... Francis A. Schaeffer (1912-1984), The God Who is There [1968], in The Francis A. Schaeffer Trilogy, Good News Publishers, 1990, p. 118 (see the book)
See also 2 Tim. 2:15; John 14:6; 2 Tim. 4:3-4

Quiet time reflection:
Quicken our conscience, Lord.
