Formula or Byproduct?

It used to be that some moral issues were handled by hiding behind what is legal or not. Churches and Christians alike tend to try to distill behavior down to some imperatives and create culture around those. And then that becomes a new sense of legalism, starting with the best of motives...

The work of Jesus in our lives is for more than just "good" behavior...

Our best efforts will still fall short. Thankfully Jesus offers more.
