Episode notes
When Rules Eclipse Relationship
- Legalism happens when people love rules more than God and add to God's instructions.
- Christians must be led by the Spirit, not merely the letter of the law.
Limit Liberty To Love Others
- Limit your personal liberty to love others when their convictions clash with yours.
- Choose small sacrifices (like no alcohol at a wedding) to preserve relationships.
Sin Varies By Conscience
- Not all sin is identical for every person; wisdom and conscience matter.
- Something unwise for one believer might not be sinful for another.
