When we have to figure out our own responses based on how others might react it will eventually cause doubt and confusion.
When we base our speech and actions on the Word of God we don't have to assess what others might think or how they will react. We have no reason to fear no matter what others say or do.
God's Word is true all of the time. We never have to guess what the right thing to do is because the Holy Spirit in us will speak as we read His Word.
2 Timothy 4:2-4
"…2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction. 3 For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears, they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires. 4 So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
Knowing this we can expect opposition often to the Word of God. Those in opposition will attack us as though it were just our opinion, they will be wrong, ignore them and keep telling the truth.
There are many myths and traditions of men in the organized church today, we must be vigilant in our study of the Bible so that we too are not deceived.
Most people in the churches don't want to know the truth because they are comfortable with the traditions. They really don't care very much about truth.
Mark 7:13
"13 thereby invalidating the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down; and you do many things such as that.”
Notice this phrase; "and you do many things such as that."
