Often when we say, “the end justifies the means” we’re not actually talking about the end. We’re talking about a pit stop on the way to the end that is desirable to us. And if we saw the true end we would disagree with our own evaluation.

You just don’t have to say “I disagree with her often, but I respect her.” or “I disagree with him a lot, but he’s a good person.” Cut the first part. Let’s stop subtly reinforcing the idea that full agreement with someone is normally necessary to respect or learn from them.

It is almost frustratingly repetitive in Scripture: do not fear. So you cannot stoke fear in a godly way. You cannot drum up people's anxieties for the glory of God. Fearmongering on behalf of a "good cause" does not make it right. We should be vigilant about this.

Wow. That was wow.
