Brotherhood Never Gained Through Compromise
Those who love Jesus and the souls for whom He has died will
follow after the things which make for peace. But they must take care lest
in their efforts to prevent discord they surrender truth, lest in warding
off division they sacrifice principle. True brotherhood can never be maintained
by compromising principle. As Christians approach the Christlike model
and become pure in spirit and action they will feel the venom of the serpent.
The opposition of the children of disobedience is excited by a Christianity
that is spiritual. . . . That peace and harmony which are secured by mutual
concessions to avoid all differences of opinion are not worthy of the name.
On points of feeling between man and man, concessions should sometimes
be made; but never should one iota of principle be sacrificed to obtain
harmony.--RH, Jan 16, 1900. {1MCP 244.1}
