Martin Luther said...

"If I profess, with the loudest voice and clearest exposition, every portion of the truth of God except precisely that little point which the world and the devil are at that moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Christ. Where the battle rages there the loyalty of the soldier is proved, and to be steady on all the battle fields besides is mere flight and disgrace if he flinches at that point."

Modern Christianity has earned itself an "F" in relation to this idea. We have ...."with the loudest voice and clearest exposition".... talked of Us and Jesus and wanting to be around and close to him, to be nearer to Jesus. It becomes panacea to excuse us from Jesus clear instructions to us when he said..."doing whatsoever I have commanded you..." We have not believed what he wrote. So we dont even see that a battle is raging, let alone ..."that little point which the world and the devil are at that moment attacking"...
