For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Hebrews 4:12

Good Enough?
Legalism causes people to be obsessive and it breeds fear because it makes people feel they can never be good enough. Many times, if they don't feel good enough, they become critical of others, thinking they aren't doing "good enough" either.
This feeling poisons relationships and causes people to not want to come around or to feel uncomfortable when they are! It is suffocating because they know the other person likes "perfect" and they just can't be!
I just want to live in the true freedom Jesus provided for me...not justifying sin, but certainly not trying to perform to earn something.
