Hating Error Doesn’t Equal Loving Christ

This book continues to be a source of challenge and great learning as we prepare to head to Turkey later this week:

“But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first.” Revelation 2:4


“As for orthodoxy, it is cold and dead and grim without the warmth and life and beauty with which love invests it. The Ephesians even hated the evil deeds and words of the Nicolaitans, so unimpeachable was their theological correctness. But to hate error and evil is not the same as to love Jesus Christ.”

John R. W. Stott, What Christ Thinks of the Church, pages 28-29
