(the Christian) is
free from the fear of men. Ungodly men,
many of them, truckle to their fellow men.
It is to them a most important
question whether they are smiled upon or frowned at by their fellow worms. The godly man has learned to lift his head
above the common race of mankind, and when he lives as he should, he neither
thinks a thing the better because men praise it, nor the worse because they
censure it. His rule is not popular
opinion, nor the dictates of the philosophy of the hour; he believes what God
tells him to be true, and what God prescribes he knows to be right; and he does
this careless of man's judgment, for none can judge him but his Master.
Charles
Spurgeon
