The old legalism said we must always “act good” …

While the new legalism says everyone else must now make us “feel good.”

Seriously, these things run in cycles …

As adherents of each diss anyone and anything that doesn’t feed their own insecurities.

Unfortunately, those who buy into each extreme – while still in it – seldom see how artificial and shallow it tends to be.

Which is why Jesus and His Word are about plumblines …

Not pendulums.
