The question for the church in every generation is:
Will we submit gladly to the Scriptures?
Will we devote ourselves to understanding them truly, valuing them supremely (under God himself), applying them properly, obeying them wholeheartedly, and speaking them courageously and publicly?
In every age, some things in the Bible fit nicely into the spirit of the times and are not controversial. They may even win you some popularity.
But in every age, there are other things in the Bible - important things - that do not fit in the spirit of the times, and speaking them will be criticized or even persecuted.
- John Piper, Jesus the Only Way to God.
