Who supports us and who fights us? Sometimes our friends we treat as enemies, or at least as someone who needs to back off,

Now John answered and said, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow with us.” But Jesus said to him, “Do not forbid him, for he who is not against us is on our side” (Luke 9.49–50). 

Before you oppose someone, be sure that he truly fights against “our side,” which is the side of Christ.
