Caring about all that Jesus cares about

There are arguments over who exactly said the below words (apparently not Martin Luther who they are most often attributed to). But whoever first wrote or spoke them, and whenever, they tie in well with what we were thinking about on Sunday as we looked together at Jesus' letter to the church in Pergamum (read the passage and listen to the talk here). I hope God uses them to challenge you today:

If I profess with the loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the truth of God except precisely that little point which the world and the Devil are at that moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Christ. Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is proved, and to be steady on all the battlefield besides, is mere flight and disgrace if he flinches at that point.
