Calvin & Bonhoeffer on speaking out

Calvin first:

A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw the truth of God attacked and yet would remain silent.

Next, Bonhoeffer:

Silence in the face of evil is itself evil. God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.

Simply put, Christians should not be ashamed of Christ and His wonderful, life-giving words
