Hello L. Ray,
Just to let you know that God delivered my family out of that legalistic church. We have been
set free. Free from worldly sin, legalistic sin and flesh sin. We came out of the legalistic
church 10 years ago. I guess the hardest thing for me has been finding Gods balance in
all these things. When you have been brainwashed to do things a certain way for so long
it becomes a real struggle to know Gods way and will. With legalism it is all done for you.
Black and white. Its easy. Just do what they say and your saved. However the pressure
of the guilt, self condemnation and fear are unbearable. You sway from one to the other
and never feel saved. Sad. Now that I am out of this God has brought me a long way.
God Bless,
Glenda
Dear Glenda: Money, fear, and power. It's all about money, fear, and power. Take away the money, fear, and power, and much of Christendom will come crashing down. It is a damnable thing that many pastors are doing to well-meaning people who think they are following Jesus. And what is worse, many of these sincere and well-meaning people often become just like their leaders. They defend evil and heresy with every ounce of their being. It is sad. Thank GOD you have been shown the Truth!
God be with you,
Ray
