Hi Jacy,

I think I know you from another board....I cam across a good article on Legalism vs. Obedience on the site a Puritan's Mind. http://www.apuritansmind.com/Tracts%20and%20Writings/LegalismAndObedience.htm

I think the Puritans were often viewed as either extremely obedient, holy and God honoring or extremely legalistic depending on who you speak to.


I read a book by RC Sproul and I kind of got the idea from his words that he would think nothing of playing a round of golf on Sunday (he thinks recreation on the Lord's Day is a permitted mode of rest and he is a golf enthusiast).

I would be interested in starting a seperate thread on the Puritans to see what people think about them.
