This is not to dismiss or make light of real issues of injustice. Are we to not act until we are sure that our motivation is one-hundred-percent pure? Should we dismiss mere humanists? Of course not! God uses all of us, with our mixed motives. We have been given, not only the conclusion, but also the way to get there. We have been shown how to fight hate without becoming hate ourselves. We have been given a Companion and a Friend, not only a good idea. We have been given joy in the midst of failure, not only a way of winning or being right. Gospel people are basically indestructible.
