I once listened to a sermon on Luke 6. The sermon highlighted four characteristics of legalisms that are apparent from the passage of scripture. Each of these characteristics start with the letter C. CRITICAL: Legalistic people have their set of rules by which they judge everyone else. They cannot encounter or interact with anyone without … Continue reading The Deadly Effects of Legalism

Jesus Paid It All
I am blessed these days by the words of this song, written by Elvina M. Hall, in 1865.

Chorus: On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand, All other … Continue reading Christ our Righteousness
