Quote by D.A. Carson
“To be perfectly blunt, sin is being redefined within the evangelical tradition. What was sinful a generation ago is no longer sinful today. When confronted with this reality, evangelicals will more or less trivialize their heritage by saying, “Those behaviors were not really sinful, but a mere religious and social quirkiness of our forebears.”…Contemporary society is more permissive than that of the past, and the evangelical community is being affected by that permissiveness…. [T]here is less and less continuity with the past.58”
