““How is the Lord’s warrior to react, when he sees the world taking up arms against him, when he sees all the earth, like an army, coming to chase him, and utterly destroy him? Does he yield? Does he give in? Does he bend? Does he cringe? Oh, no! Like Martin Luther, he writes on his banner, “I Yield To None.” If the world goes to war against him, he goes to war against the world. The true born child of God cares little for the world’s opinion. He says, “Do what you will. Let me be deprived of food, let me be doomed to wander the world penniless, let me die; each drop of blood within these veins belongs to Christ and I am ready to shed it for his name’s sake.” He counts “everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus.” The most important thing is that he may be found in Jesus.””
