Be careful about making presumptions. How deep is your desire for God and His people? Are you willing to defend Him? When do we confront other people about their sin and when do we keep our mouths shut? Who do we confront and how do we do it in the right way?

The Israelites almost went to war with the eastern tribes because they thought they had done something against God. But after confronting them, they realized these tribes did what they did because they loved God and wanted to remain close to Him and HIs people. They were both zealous for their God and all that passion almost dissolved into a civil war. It is obviously good to passionate about our relationship with God and also be willing to defend Him. But we need to make sure we have all the facts first, and we need to do it in the right way, at the right time, with the right people.
