The Introduction- Part 2

Written By Ryan Wassell
After putting forth a model of biblical repentance (with help from Thomas Watson and Mark Jones), Butterfield sets her sights on the need for godly confrontation. "To confront something", Butterfield says, "is not to reject, misrepresent, or mock it. Instead, a confrontation is an act of respect" (p.22). This is the 'godly' aspect of godly confrontation. She continues, "Godly confrontation does not include mocking derision."
“Godly confrontation does not include mocking derision.”
— Rosaria Butterfield
As Christians, it's very easy to see the folly of idolatry and poke fun, "Ah, you think pronouns are interchangeable, how ridiculous and silly." Well, for some, it's not. This is what they believe. Loving our neighbor, therefore, involves respecting him or her as made in the image of God and engaging them in a way that both honors the individual while rejecting the idea.
