About This Quote

The thing that grieves the heart of the Lord is when God doesn't see men who stand in defense of the truth. The ability to believe in something with all your heart and to defend it with all your strength is what makes a man great. Any man who tries to do something he doesn't believe in, but does it for his own benefit, can be considered a hypocrite.
