The pursuit of truth and justice is not for the faint of heart. Whether it involves a personal conflict, an ecclesiastical conflict, or a civil conflict, there are many points where the temptation to cave in or retreat is significant. It takes real courage to fight for justice. No good deed goes unpunished. Parents, pastors, and judges can be, and often are, cowards in the face of conflict. The pursuit of justice can be costly.
