Sadly, it is all too common in our day for people to shirk away from proclaiming and living Biblical truth because they are afraid to offend someone, to lose a friendship, to be thought of as weird or archaic, etc. How tragic! Take, for instance, what the great men Dr. Martin Luther and Mr. J.C. Ryle had to say on this topic:
"Cursed be any love or unity for whose sake the Word of God must be put at stake."
~Martin Luther
"To maintain pure truth in the church, we should be ready to make any sacrifice, to hazard peace, to risk dissension and run the chance of division."
~J.C. Ryle
How very true and very convicting, isn't it?

When I first read "Dr. Martin Luther" I had assumed it was a typo. I knew he had been highly educated, obtaining a Masters and teaching, but I wasn't aware that he had received his doctorate. 5 minutes on Wikipedia filled me in. You learn something new every day.
