Letting go of Legalism

Or at least making an effort to do so...
Freedom to worship and serve and learn out of relationship rather than obligation - that is our aim. It's always a challenge. This is how we are going about it at this time. Because everything is subject to change on an As Needed basis.

•I like to listen to some of my favorite pastors' (there are several) teachings online. You know, while I sweep the floor and wipe bottoms and make food and stuff like that. It may not exactly be a quality quiet time, but I certainly get a lot out of it.
This series would have knocked my socks off....if I had not already been wearing flip flops. Wow. It is incredibly thought provoking. Do you listen to his sermons? He is really a gifted teacher.
•And, the kids and I are going through the Bible (((slowly!!))) together during the day. Which is really fun for us. They are learning so much. And I am too. We are in Joshua. (We skip some parts - genealogies and the reading of the entire law, to name a few...) It's part of our home-educating-as-a-lifestyle philosophy. We've tried lots of times/places/books and found that for now, it works best to do our Bible time/devotion (whatever you want to call it) while everyone is at the table for school. We pray immediately following (on our knees on our kitchen floor.)
•And, we could not get through the days and weeks without the praise and worship music we know, need, and love. Klove is our current favorite. Jayla and I have playlists we like to crank as well.

Happy Saturday to you.
