God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Things that draw people to embrace legalism.
1. Legalism provides us with a sense of security in that it enables us always to know precisely what to do in every conceivable moral dilemma. There is a certain sort of psychological safety in being stiff morally.
2. Legalism nurtures pride. “Look at what I’m willing to forego that others embrace! Others may indulge themselves but I have a discipline and a moral standard they lack. I possess a will-power that really loves God. Therefore, God really loves me” (with the implication that God doesn’t really love those who choose another path, or at least doesn’t love them as much as He loves me!).
3. It provides an excuse to maintain control. One need never fear the unknown because there is always a rule or law (of my own making, of course) to govern every situation. After all, without rules things will get out control (or so legalists think).
4. There is comfort in conformity. It is always reassuring when other people live like we do, even if there is no explicit biblical warrant for it.
5. Some embrace legalism out of a genuine, heart-felt concern for other believers. They are actually motivated by love and compassion, worried that the spiritual welfare of others is at risk. They fear that others will assuredly “fall” if they walk down a certain path, even though that path is nowhere prescribed in Scripture (see especially Romans 14:4).

INSTRUCTIONS
Beat the eggs, milk, water and salt together, then beat in the white flour,
the masa harina, and the melted butter. Or combine all the ingredients in a
blender and blend until perfectly smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides
as needed. Let the batter rest for at least an hour.
Heat a crepe pan and brush it with butter, then pour in just enogh batter
to cover the bottom of the pan by quickly tilting it around--a scant 1/4
cup. Cook for a minute or two on medium heat, until the crepe is golden
brown on the bottom, then gently peel it up and flip it over. Cook the
other side until golden and spotted with brown, usually less than a minute.
Continue this way until all the batter is used.
Stack the crepes and keep them covered with a slightly damp kitchen towel
as you work. The crepes can be made several hours or a day ahead and kept
in the refrigerator, tightly covered with plastic wrap. If you refrigerate
crepes, allow them to return to room temperature before filling or rolling
them. If handling crepes that are still cold, heat a non-stick pan and
place each crepe in it for a few seconds to warm it up before filling it;
this softens the crepe and keeps it from cracking.
Makes about 18 to 20 crepes.
