Thousands (millions? billions?) off people have been turned away from Christ because of their legalistic perception of Christianity. It seems that we, as Christians, are continually countering the notion that our faith is all about following a set of rules, or 'The Commandments', to earn God's favour. How do we demonstrate freedom in Christ? What does that mean anyway? Can we do anything we want? Where's the balance? We often think that 'rules' and 'freedom' are exclusive concepts, but perhaps Christ provides a way for them to be complementary?
