Here is the great evangelical disaster—the failure of the evangelical world to stand for truth as truth. There is only one word for this—namely accommodation: the evangelical church has accommodated to the world spirit of the age. And let us understand that to accommodate to the world spirit about us in our age is nothing less than the most gross form of worldliness in the proper definition of that word. And with this proper definition of worldliness, we must say with tears, with exceptions, the evangelical church is worldly and not faithful to the living Christ.
- Francis Schaeffer
1912 – 1984

Was he prophesying Mark Driscoll? I betcha his son has a different take, to his shame.
Schaeffer and Tozer had many good reminders for us.
I agree with this quote.
And I bet you’re right I bet his son and current followers would NOT hold to these same tenets.
“Accomodation”, good word. I would also use
“tolerance”.
Some evangelicals are mush mouthed with the backbone of a gummy worm when it comes to STANDING for truth, all of it.
Fear of man is an awful thing.
God help us!
Key phrase: “stand for truth as truth”.
