S. Lewis Johnson Wrote In His Article Entitled ...
Contributed by Doyle Hayes on Jul 7, 2009 (message contributor)
S. Lewis Johnson wrote in his article entitled “The Paralysis of Legalism” One of the most serious problems facing the orthodox church today is the problem of legalism. One of the most serious problems facing the church in Paul’s day was the problem of legalism. In every day it is the same. Legalism wrenches the joy of the Lord from the Christian believer, and with the joy of the Lord goes His power for vital worship and a vibrant service. Nothing is left but cramped, somber, dull, and listless profession. The truth is betrayed, and the glorious name of the Lord becomes a synonym for a gloomy kill-joy. The Christian under law is miserable parody of the real thing.
