Francis Schaeffer on preaching the word of god

Schaeffer says:

It's no small thing to stick with the message. It's easy to opt out. Evangelicals can easily opt out into their own little ghetto, saying nice things to themselves and closing their eyes to the real situation that surrounds them. One can opt out in many ways. But if one really preaches the Word of God to a post-Christian world, he must understand that he is likely to end up like Jeremiah.
