In October of 2012 Randy Alcorn was interviewed by Dr. John Akers at The Cove in Asheville, NC. Though they may not know where it comes from, many are familiar with the biblical statement that "the truth will set you free." But John asks what is on many minds - aren't truth and freedom contradictory, that is, doesn't truth lead you into legalism? See Randy's book The Grace and Truth Paradox for more information. 

I have had the exact experience Craig Groeschel is talking about in his excellent blog post “What’s the Big &%#*! Deal about Profanity?”: Christians enthusiastically recommending movies without qualification. 

When it comes to spiritual disciplines, some people think being committed to them is a matter of legalism. 

In this two and a half minute clip, Randy talks about how God’s grace has actually raised the bar of standards for the Christian life, but at the same time God has empowered us to live a life focused on Christ in order to jump that bar. (from Desiring God's Don't Waste Your Life)

In this almost five minute video, Randy Alcorn answers the question, "How do we avoid legalism when counseling people?"

It is quite amazing how often the term “legalism” comes up when there is a serious discussion about obedience or its result, holiness.
