There is a cancer out of control in contemporary Christianity, a killer called legalism. And God hates it, for it is the very opposite of what is found in His heart and in His dealings with us. For the next five weeks we will study this killer and, hopefully, become better able to fight it.
Outline
A. LAW: God's idea
