  Quiverfull Family — Authority: 433
  As a believer who has struggled with legalism from early on in my Christian life, I found the promised premise of Randall Arthur’s  Wisdom Hunter intriguing. As the story of a legalistic preacher who is forced to reevaluate his beliefs and rebuild his faith from the roots up, I was excited to read about a ...

  the foolish galatian — Authority: 120
  This devotional was delivered to my inbox this morning from Grace Gems . I love this ministry and all that they do, but when I got this this morning, I wanted to spit nails. The part that I take particular issue with is in bold at the end: Many people set a great deal more stress on religious rituals, than upon ...

• Confessionism: Abusing 1 John 1:9

  
  Fundamentally Reformed — Authority: 120
  I want to encourage my readers to take some time and read Jim Elliff’s recent blog post on a practice he calls “confessionism”.  As a former independent fundamental Baptist, I still tend toward a legalism of sorts that stresses performance and action to a fault.  And while I never reached the level of zeal ...

• COMFORT ZONES

  
  Blogs — Authority: 161
  COMFORT ZONES   Im sure youre familiar with the term "one mans passion is another mans poison". As simple as it may seem, this phrase literally brings balance to life.

• Planting Urban Churches, Part 2

  
  SharperIron — Authority: 124
  Read Part 1 . Cultural accommodation is a genuine danger in planting churches. However, a real problem is the one-sided perspective that many have of accommodation. Usually the accommodation is seen rightly (Rom. 12:2) but narrowly only toward the world, caving in to worldly culture in dress, music, and questionable ...

• Cross Eyed: How not to witness

  
  The Writing on the Wall — Authority: 120
  This week in video evangelism, we have a stark reminder of someone we have all met – that one legalistic blowhard for Christ who, in a dire attempt to witness with every waking moment, turns off every individual within throwing distance.This hilarious video beautifully illustrates those dense folk. I knew a guy ...

• A Legalists Great Remedy…Do Nothing

  
  the foolish galatian — Authority: 120
  Great pos t from David Mathis at the Desiring God blog. When questioned about how to be productive, he responds: I would actually say: realize that  you don’t have to be productive . By this I mean: your significance does not come from your productivity. It comes from Christ, who obeyed God perfectly on our ...

• Public School as Street Thug

  
  The Confessional Outhouse — Authority: 418
  These are keen observations . However, for the very few of us who represent the icky part of the antithesis—those who, for our own principled reasons, don’t either home school or Christian school but elect to employ state institutions—there is another interesting dimension to all this. In the course of these ...

• The Legalists Clothing

  
  the foolish galatian — Authority: 120
  Sin makes you do stupid stuff. When Adam and Eve first sinned in the garden, the first course of action they took was to cover themselves with the work of their own hands. Their eyes were opened…they could see their sin and they tried to hide it. I think about them a lot. I try to place myself there in the garden ...
