Josh, what you write really touches on an important point. I don't think we're supposed to be spending a lot of effort inspecting fruit. Jesus' point is that false prophets bear bad fruit (not just "no" fruit). For me, the fruit he is speaking of lies less in what is or is not being "accomplished" but in the kind of spirit that is displayed and furthered. Anyway, I appreciate the reminder that our biggest enemy is our own egos.
