God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Underlying causes of legalism: 1. Humanistic concept of self-control – “I’m in control of how things go.” 2. Humanistic concept of self-effort, “works” – trying, striving, “I can do it.” 3. False security needs for defined parameters, limitations, borders 4. Work-ethic concept of strict reciprocity – “Get what you work for” 5. Punitive concept of getting what one deserves 6. Traditionalism of maintaining status quo 7. Simplism of dividing life into compartments with instant solutions; fundamentalism. Got a handle on it – all figured out. Instant solutions – don't have to think or trust. 8. Fear of freedom, of decision-making responsibility (Rom. 8:15) 9. Security need for something that is fixed and static, concrete and tangible. Inordinate need to be safe and right 10. Favorite of sadomasochistic personalities; perfectionists, Pharisees.

James Fowler

It is wisdom to take occasional furlough. In the long run, we shall do more by sometimes doing less. On, on, on forever, without recreation, may suit spirits emancipated from this “heavy clay,” but while we are in this tabernacle, we must every now and then cry halt, and serve the Lord by holy inaction and consecrated leisure. Let no tender conscience doubt the lawfulness of going out of harness for a while, but learn from the experience of others the necessity and duty of taking timely rest.

C.H. Spurgeon
