Is it right?

Cowardice asks the question, “Is it safe?” Expediency asks the question, “Is it politic?” And Vanity comes along and asks the question, “Is it popular?” But Conscience asks the question “Is it right?” And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must do it because Conscience tells him it is right.

AMEN and AMEN! As big and as loud as you can imagine! We have had to take the position that conscience dictates a number of times, and it is not an easy, but the Lord helps us through and will for any one else who has to make such decisions.
As Martin Luther said, 'To violate conscience is neither right now safe!'
