Legalism
When we read the Bible to know what we should do, the Bible becomes our task master. When we see those not keeping the law as we have learned, we judge them because they don\’t do as they should. When we see those keeping the law we don\’t keep, we become permissive because we will not judge or add burdens to ourselves.

Knowing Him
When we read the Bible to know Him, we find rest because His yoke is easy and His burden is light. When we see those who are not doing as we have become, then we\’re not judgmental because we understand that the process of knowing Him is a journey. We build them up in gentleness and bear their burdens. When we see those on the same journey, doing more than we have done, we become inquisitive students, because we want to know Him in a new and wonderful way.
Moving Foward
Our Christian heritage is based mostly in legalism. When you find yourself judging another, step back and judge yourself instead. Change your ways, take another path. Find rest for your soul.
