Observations
- Overcorrecting a spiritual problem can lead to a different but equally dangerous one
- Legalism makes obedience a prerequisite.
- Liberalism makes obedience an option.
- Loyalism makes obedience a response.
- Jesus didn’t go to the cross so you could cling to what put Him there.
- I’m free—not to do what I want, but to do what you need.
- Eager compassion for others is a sign of spiritual health.
- Keep tearing people down, and soon there’ll be no one left to stand with you.
Applications
- You misunderstand freedom when you treat it as a license to sin.
- Love others with the same intentional care you wish someone showed you.
- Be careful what you say and how you say it.
