Christ Works
Basic Gospel

We are all natural born legalists. When a problem arises, we naturally come up with a law or regulation to fix it. This year alone, the government has created over 82,000 pages of new laws and regulations to fix our country's problems. We do the same for our personal lives. I had a long list of rules and regulations to follow to be the best Christian I could be. It seemed wise at the time, but as Paul wrote, "those rules lacked any value in restraining sensual indulgence." When it comes to living the Christian life, "do not handle. Do not taste. Do not touch." does not work. But Christ does. And believe, he is alive and living in you. Trusting him is the fix to any problem you will have.
