Learn Not the Way of the Heathen

On a Tuesday night just before Halloween, Pastor Steven L. Shelley answers believers who call a conviction ’legalism.’ From Deuteronomy 18, Galatians, and Jesus’ rebukes of the Pharisees, he draws the line: legalism asks what it must do to earn God’s favor; holiness asks how to please a God whose favor it already has. Grace saves. Separation from darkness is the fruit, not the price.
