Truth has Many Enemies

What brought the death penalty for John the Baptist? He spoke the truth about sin, in particular the sin of someone in authority. Had he remained quiet, he may have lived.

We live in a day wherein many do not want to hear the truth about their sin. Homosexuality, abortion, and many other sinful acts are demanding to be sanctified in our culture. Will we remain quiet about the truth, or stand up and face the consequences?
