172: Are You A Legalistic Christian?

Welcome to the Biblical Counseling Podcast! Today's topic is legalism. "The most common form of legalism among evangelicals today is elevating man-made rules above the directives and principles that God has laid out in His Word. It results in judging others (accusing either in one's heart or with one's mouth) of sinning when those manmade rules are not followed. In this booklet you will gain a clearer understanding of how legalism infects us as believers, and how to recognize both doctrinal and applied legalism in one's own life. Upon seeing it, we then can begin letting go of legalism in its various forms, truly love others, and press on in the grace and righteousness of Christ." Dr. Lou Priolo The episode is a review of the booklet, Letting Go of Legalism.
