The way of fight is what I’ll call the way of Simon the zealot, and often the way of the cultural liberal. These folks want to change, fix, control, and reform other people and events. The zealot is always looking for the evil, the political sinner, the unjust one, the oppressor, or the bad person over there. The zealot permits himself or herself to righteously attack them, to hate them, even to kill them. When they do, they think they are “doing a holy duty for God” (John 16:2).
