Can I Stop Associating With Christians Who I Don’t Agree With?

“You can still love someone while disagreeing with their actions and calling them to repentance; that’s what we’re called to do as a church. When [people] just say, “Peace, peace.” where there is no peace, that’s wolf-like behavior. It’s subtle, and it’s deadly.”
– Pastor Adriel Sanchez
