Moralism

Moralism

Moralism is a system of belief that believes the outside of a sinner's cup can be cleaned before the inside is changed. It is subtle and has crept into the church.

When you believe sin can be controlled legislatively.

When you join hands with unbelievers over moral issues.

When you believe God is interested in changing the culture.

When you have a sin cast system.

When you preach morals to unbelievers.

When you see the sins of others as much worse than your sin.

When you seem to suggest being pro-life is a fruit of the Spirit.

When you feel the need to combat the homosexual agenda.

When you drive ten miles over the speed limit while on your way to an anti-gay marriage rally.

When you drive the speed limit while on your way to an anti-gay rally.

When you picket abortion clinics but do not adopt.

When you picket anywhere.

When you believe a sinner must give up certain sins before he can be saved.

When you place the Ten Commandments on public walls.

When you mix the Law with the gospel.
