Re: Strong Christians using Pearls
When I tried Pearls' teachings in my home, I thought I was strong in the Lord.
Actually I was strong in my denomination's doctrine and strong in legalism.
Now I am strong in the grace and knowledge of the Lord, which is a whole 'nother thing! And something beautiful, noble, and good that I can not teach to my children without abandoning legalism.
The Pearls are legalistic and behavioristic. They appeal to people who feel safer or holier with legalism (I should know).
But their teachings can't co-exist with grace.
It is freer out here, and nicer, letting God be the one who calls things righteous or not, leaning on Him and following Him, and bringing my little children along with me!
