The walks of business are full of maxims of trade and usages openly at war with the spirit of Christ's precepts. The world of fashion and pleasure is equally ruled by tastes and maxims and usages contrary to the precepts of Christ. And the Christian who stands manfully for Christ will find some inconvenience, some loss, and much scorn. Christ brings his judgment into close companionship with these every-day issues, and will demand whether you were ready to endure the cross for his sake, or stand by those faithfully who had to endure hardships for his sake.
Stuart Robinson — Rev. Stuart Robinson, Pastor of the Second Church, Louisville, Discourses of Redemption, third American edition (Richmond: Presbyterian Committee of Publication, n.d.; copyright 1866), Discourse XII, "The Award of the Judgment to Come to Be Made on Principles Not Ethical but Evangelical," p. 266
