Have you ever defied authority? Was this a righteous act or not? When the apostles were reprimanded for proclaiming the gospel, they said, should we obey you or obey God? This was an act of righteous resistance, but how much defiance of authority is of this type and how much is just ordinary rebellion? It is easy to judge your own motives favorably rather than objectively. Do not confuse your own comfort and preferences with the cause of righteousness. Those who are called to righteous disobedience know that they do so at their own risk, as I did, and do not complain about the cost they pay.
