Righteousness

This is doing evil that good may come, and can never to be tolerated by an enlightened conscience. If an act of sin would increase my usefulness tenfold, i have no right to do it; and if an act of righteousness would appear likely to destroy all my apparent usefulness, I am yet to do it. It is yours and mine to do the right though the heavens fall, and follow the comman of Christ whatever the consequences may be. "That is strong meat," do you say? Be strong men, then and feed thereon... Iain Murray, The Forgotten Spurgeon, p. 162
