Principles

If your cause is just, if your principles are pure, and if your conduct is prudent, you need not fear the multitude of opposing hosts. (John Witherspoon, signer of the Declaration of Independence)

Almost anything you say or try to do today will face opposition. Disunity seems to be a part of society. Everyone has his or her idea of what is right and best, and you have to be pretty strong to overcome conflict. Witherspoon’s counsel should be the encouragement to move forward when you are confident you’re pursuing justice in a wholesome and thoughtful way.

People with integrity walk safely, but those who follow crooked paths will be exposed. (Proverbs 10:9)
