Controversy in Defense of Truth

By Alexander Carson

MANY seem alarmed at controversy, and shrink from it as opposed to the spirit of the gospel. It is, no doubt, a grievous thing that controversy should be necessary; but as long as error exists it is impossible to avoid controversy, except we value peace more than truth. Can we forget that the whole life of Christ and his apostles was a scene of never-ending controversy? He who was love itself, contended constantly against the errors of his time. There is not a truth or an ordinance of the gospel that Christians can hold without opposition.—Dr. A. Carson.
