     | 5,677 views

    People can have many priorities. Jesus expects His followers to have priorities based on His value system, not the value system of the world.

We can be concerned about the economy – especially if we are being directly affected by the recession. One’s health is also a matter of concern to many people. This ...read more

    Is It Really Legalism?

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Mar 31, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,710 views

    In many modern churches, legalism is no more than acknowledging that the Lord has given to His Church a body of legislation that He expects to be taught and obeyed.

These terms have, primarily, been used to describe and condemn those Christians and churches that believe that there is more to ...read more
