Walk circumspectly, EPHESIANS v. 15.
No Christian has a right to be regardless of his reputation, for not himself alone is concerned. He may imagine it matters little for him what men may think, since God knows his heart; but, in so far as men do him injustice, they fail to render that glory to God which His good works ought to secure; and so, out of regard for the cause with which he is identified, he should not suffer himself to be misunderstood, or misrepresented, when it can be avoided.
