Truth
What others think is right, they think is right; and what others call wrong, they call wrong too. (J. C. Ryle, 19th-century Anglican bishop)
In listing “Dangers for Young Men,” Ryle included “Fear of Man’s Opinion.” He wrote, “It is terrible to observe the power which the fear of man has over most minds.” Do we ever nod in agreement with someone’s idea, or fail to express a contrary opinion, when we really believe they are wrong? We must speak up against what’s wrong and for what’s right.
I speak with all sincerity; I speak the truth. . . . a person who seeks to honor the one who sent him speaks truth, not lies (Job 33:3; John 7:18).
