Identifying & Avoiding Legalism
Legalism has been a disease in the Christian church from the very beginning. Most would agree that legalism is not a good thing for the church. Nevertheless it easy for those who want to live a God honoring life to fall into legalism unintentionally.
In this class we will look at the different kinds of legalism found in scripture and how they manifest themselves today. We will also discuss the importance of Biblical balance. To avoid rules based legalism does not mean that there are no standards. We will ask the question, 'What are God's expectations for His followers today?'
