“It is the duty of
God’s servants to warn men of their danger…It is their duty to rebuke
wickedness wherever it be found. . . . This will not make for their popularity, for it will condemn and irritate the wicked, and
such plain speaking will seriously annoy them. Those who expose hypocrites,
resist tyrants, oppose the wicked, are ever viewed by them as troublemakers.
But as Christ declared, ‘Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and
persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for My
sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for
so persecuted they the prophets which were before you…” (Matthew 5:11,12).
~ Arthur Pink
This also happens outside of the church.
