Reggie White: A New Kind of Defender

the Lord showed me during that time, 'Reggie, I didn't bring you here to give you a good reputation.' Jesus didn't have a good reputation. And he also reminded me that the Scripture says, 'Woe unto you when men shall speak well of you.' So if everybody is patting us on the back and telling us how great we are all the time, that means we're not doing our job. We're not stirring the pot up. And I think too many of us Christians in America, we want to run away from the suffering when the Bible says we need to run to the suffering because that's where God does His work.

, if we continue to back down from the truth, we'll never mean anything to the kingdom. Dr. King said before he died, 'If you don't have a cause to die for, then you have nothing to live for.' And Jesus is our cause. He died for us, so we should be willing to sacrifice our lives for Him and for others and particularly those who are in the kingdom and to bring others into the kingdom.
