Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx
As a new Christian in my 30s, my sometimes black and white approach to life became magnified. If I saw someone who claimed to be a Christian drinking alcohol at a business reception, I found myself questioning their salvation.
If my wife didn’t want to go to church one week, I feared that she might wind up in hell. Fortunately, God helped me over the years to avoid extremes and legalism.
Ecclesiastes 7 teaches, “Do not be overrighteous, neither be overwise… Do not be overwicked, and do not be a fool—why die before your time? It is good to grasp the one and not let go of the other. Whoever fears God will avoid all extremes.”
A true fear of God will help you overcome legalism in your workplace.
