No Halloween. No Christmas tree. Home Schooling only. No Television. No birth control. The list goes on and on. These are all things that I have held to at one time or another. I am not even going to tell you here if I still hold to any of these. It really does not matter.
It is so easy when you are surrounded by other extremists to fall into the same. At what point does it become legalism? Are these things and others really a matter of sin? Or are they just decisions that some people have made for their own families?
It is worth thinking about. The problem that I have been running into is the self righteousness of some when they tend toward extremism. The judgmental attitude that they have on other Christians when they don't buy into the same views. Should we not have love and grace towards one another? Is that not even more important than whether you let your children watch a certain show?
Something to consider.
