We Love God!

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

The way we understand the Gospel will inform the way we do evangelism. The way we do evangelism will inform the way our hearers understand the Gospel. The way our hearers understand the Gospel will inform the way they live the Gospel. The way our hearers live the Gospel will have a direct bearing on the corporate witness of our churches in our communities. The corporate witness of our churches will in turn make our evangelism either easier or harder, depending on whether that witness is a help or a hindrance. And difficulty, or lack thereof, in evangelism will come to bear on our church planting efforts, which brings us back to laying foundations (Mark Dever and Paul Alexander).
