Subject: Truth without Apology

Bible Note: "He [Hugh Latimer] had greatly displeased his majesty by his boldness in a sermon preached before the king, and was ordered to preach again on the following Sabbath, and to make an apology for the offense he had given. After reading his text, the bishop thus began his sermon:

"'Hugh Latimer, dost thou know before whom thou art this day to speak? To the high and mighty monarch, the king’s most excellent majesty, who can take away thy life if thou offendest; therefore, take heed that thou speakest not a word that may displease… Therefore, take care that thou deliverest thy message faithfully.'

"Latimer then proceeded with the same sermon he had preached the preceding Sabbath, but with considerably more energy.

"Such courage should all God’s children show when they have to do, with man. Thou art thyself nothing but a worm; but if God puts His truth into thee, do not play the coward, or stammer out His message, but stand up manfully for God and for His truth." --Charles H. Spurgeon
