You’re right to warn—many have turned righteous anger into sinful rage.
Here’s my litmus test:
Is this protecting the vulnerable or promoting myself?
Am I exposing sin or seeking revenge?
Is this freeing captives or burning bridges?
I fail sometimes. But the work continues because the captive doesn’t have the luxury of my perfected sanctification before their rescue begins.
The rebellion isn’t against God or His true Church. It’s against the counterfeits that hold people in bondage. If that looks like idolizing freedom, maybe it’s because we’ve forgotten that Christ literally said He came to ‘proclaim freedom for the captives’ (Luke 4:18).
Keep warning me. Iron sharpens iron. But also—read Ezekiel 34 again and tell me if what I’m describing isn’t exactly what God Himself rebuked.
