    Is Legalism A Bad Word?

    Contributed by Patrick Nix on Jul 9, 2010
     | 2,444 views

    This message deals with the fact that God’s law (from Moses to Christ) is good and that its continued presence in church and culture is right, not wrong.

    Too many people today, even Christians, feel like the days of grace and spiritual liberty should erase the law of God. If any minister or church preaches or teaches the laws of God as good, they are labeled as old-fashioned, cult-like, or legalistic. Since when did ‘legalism’ (the idea of abiding ...read more

    Do you feel insignificant in your service to God? You may be more powerful than you thought. Or do you feel pretty secure? You may be more in need and weak than you thought. Take some advice from Philadelphia and Laodicea.

    Even as the Philadelphian church doesn’t receive even one rebuke - the church at Laodicea receives not one commendation - the contrast couldn’t be more stark - and that’s not the only contrast we’ll see as we compare these two churches. -The church at Philadelphia was small in appearance but ...read more

    I think Jesus is saying here that I can take care of divine multiplication, and I can handle a miracle! However, I can’t help those who take in and receive the leaven of this world!

    The Bad and Good of Leaven Text: Matthew 16:5-12 5 Now when His disciples had come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. 6 Then Jesus said to them, “Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.” 7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “It is ...read more

    Everyone is concerned about time and making sure that our time is not wasted. More activity doesn't mean that you are more productive only a lot more sweaty.

    Proverbs 23:4 (NASB) 4 Do not weary yourself to gain wealth, Cease from your consideration of it. 5 When you set your eyes on it, it is gone. For wealth certainly makes itself wings Like an eagle that flies toward the heavens. Do not let your heart envy ...read more

    This was a loving church, serving, faithful, growing church; yet their toleration of false teaching was displeasing to Christ and harmful to people who were deceived by it. Change was needed and Jesus requires it if this church is to be overcomers.
