| | | A Quote to Keep in Mind While Discussing Here on the PB
I want to share a quote that we all might keep in mind as we read and discuss here on the Puritan board.  Quote: From Richard Sibbes' The Bruised Reed
It would be a good contest amongst Christians, one to labour to give no offence, and the other to labour to take none. The best men are severe to themselves, tender over others.

| | Indeed, Sibbes makes the same distinction between an offense given and an offense received (or taken) as did Calvin. See this thread for Calvin's treatment of this distinction between offenses. http://www.puritanboard.com/forum/vi...5342#pid213930
Thanks Joshua,

Beware of a religion without holdfasts. But if I get a grip upon a doctrine they call me a bigot. Let them do so. Bigotry is a hateful thing, and yet that which is now abused as bigotry is a great virtue, and greatly needed in these frivolous times. I have been inclined lately to start a new denomination, and call it "the Church of the Bigoted." Spurgeon

A great quote indeed! Now, if I could just more aptly apply it in my participation on the board here!

And we are in the age of political correctness where one receives post-graduate degrees on "How to be Offended"; 'When to be Offended' etc.
