When James and John saw what happened, they were like, 'Jesus, do you want us to call down fire from heaven to destroy these people? You know, like Elijah did back in the day?'

But if you keep attacking and tearing each other apart, watch out — you might just destroy yourselves in the process.

But here's the thing — if you really look into God's perfect way of living (which actually sets you free), and you stick with it instead of just hearing it and forgetting about it, if you actually DO something with what you've learned — that's when you'll find real blessing in your actions.
