John Calvin once said to the Queen of Navarre: "A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God's truth is attacked and yet would remain silent." (April 28, 1545). This insight is also recorded below, with a bit more explanation. May we have similar courage to that displayed by John Calvikn in defending God's truth.
"A faithful dog barks at the first sound of a thief and risks his own life to protect his master's life and his family-shall the church be plundered by the thieving of the ungodly, shall God's majesty be stamped under foot, shall Christ be robbed of his own kingdom, while we watch and say nothing?"
(John Calvin, The Bondage and Liberation of the Will, p 19)
