Stephen offended the religious authorities of Israel when he spoke to them because he was not afraid to expose their flaws. He condemned their forebears and accused the entire council of killing Jesus Christ. His claims were all true. How did they use this indictment, then? Apparently, they "gnashed at him with their teeth" (Acts 7:54). He was expelled from the city and executed. Stephen was attacked with stones till he was killed for speaking the truth.
We too will face criticism when we stand up for chastity, morality, and godliness in a wicked, pleasure-loving world that looks doomed to self-destruct. But no matter what occurs to us, we have the ability to pray to God, just as Stephen did. Knowing that we are His and that He will ultimately uphold us gives us comfort.
Let's pray that, as God's people, we will have the guts to speak the truth. It is preferable to tell the truth even if you are rejected rather than withholding it only to get acceptance.
Lord, give us the boldness to speak up.
Against the vices of the present;
Because sinners can only select the better course of action after the truth is known.
