Quote for Sunday, August 3, 2014
If one takes a public stand against, say,
most any sin you can think of,
one is considered "courageous" and
a "defender of the faith."
Folks will quickly applaud you
and tell you how much they admire you
for "taking a stand" on biblical truth.
Except if you quote Matt. 5:44
and invite people to apply it
in any sort of meaningful, literal way.
The moment one begins to talk about loving your enemies
they all of a sudden become "liberals," "extremists,"
or are accused of completely taking
an otherwise straight forward passage "out of context."
~ Ben Corey (Mennonite World Review)
