DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thomas Brooks emphasizes the grave responsibility of ministers to boldly
proclaim the whole will of God without fear of man. He warns that
cowardice in ministry equates to cruelty, as it endangers the souls of
those they are called to serve. By hesitating to share the truth,
ministers become complicit in the spiritual death of their
congregations. Brooks calls for courage and integrity in delivering
God's message, urging ministers to be accountable for their actions.

"Therefore, I declare to you today that I am innocent

of the blood of all men. For I have not hesitated to

proclaim to you the whole will of God." Acts 20:26-27

The cowardice of the minister is cruelty; if he fears

the faces of men, he is a murderer of the souls of men.
