It is interesting to read these little attacks in which brethren seek to limit my influence and create prejudice against what I am saying. Most of them follow a stereotyped pattern. Before me as I write are three of these articles. If you will pardon me for saying so, I am not going to be either cast down or built up by such aspersion and acclaim. I am just no longer working for the approval of men.
Someone has to cut across our silly lines.
Someone has to ignore our trivial barriers. Someone has to batter down our fanatical walls. I intend to do it out of love for God. It is no sacrifice for me to do his will. I am thrilled to be set free by the grace of God.
