The Cost of Servanthood

Acts 7:54-58
When they heard these things, they became enraged and ground their teeth at Stephen. but filled with the Holy Spirit, he gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. "Look," he said, "I see heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!" But they covered their ears, and with a loud shout all rushed together against him. Then they dragged him out of the city and began to stone him; and the witnesses laid their coats at the feet of a young man named Saul.

Do we have the courage and fortitude to speak the truth in love to those who do not wish to hear it? What is the difference between courageously facing conflict and going out of our way to court it?
