"It takes more true love to stand in the face of adversity and hatred and call 'sin' what it truly is: "sin", than to pretend to be tolerant by accepting the practice of sin while railing in venomous hatred against those telling the truth.
Sometimes it is hard for salt to be salt, and for light to continue to shine in the darkness; however, if the salt looses it's savor (and purifying disinfectant qualities) and the light gives up and refuses to shine, those trapped in darkness will never be able to see their way out. Praise Almighty God for those who have the the wherewithal to 'be strong and very courageous' in the face of evil and evil's backlash against the simple stating of truth. Hate the sin, but love and pray for the sinner; and be willing to tell the truth." ---Jim
