STICK TO YOUR STANDARDS

"Lift up a standard for the people." -- Isaiah 62:10

In this day of permissiveness, preachers and Christian workers are being bombarded with temptations to "avoid legalism" and "be not righteous overmuch." Christian school principals are being chided for having rules and regulations. standards Guidelines are being dropped. Rules are being loosened. Folks are saying the Bible warnings about worldliness and sin must not be taken too literally.

Parents might remove their pupils from our schools. The well-heeled professional people in our churches might decide to move their membership down to the First Progressive Church. We won't appeal to the mod, enlightened sophisticates if we have biblical standards for our people. What's a pastor to do?

BIBLE STANDARDS ARE NOT LEGALISM

Are Bible standards legalism? Legalism is the doctrine of salvation by good works. Now I do not know any fundamental, Bible-believing preacher who thus is a legalist. There are some people in religious circles who (as they did in Jesus' day) teach "for doctrines the commandments of men" (Matt. 15:9). This is wrong.

But it is not wrong to have biblical standards. "The Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard" (Isa. 59:19). Bible standards are not legalism. Preaching against sin and warning our people about the consequences of sin and compromise are a command from God.

One writer wrote an article called "An Alternative to Legalism." I am sure he is a good preacher and a sincere brother in the Lord, but he has declared that we have been confusing a whole generation of young people because we fail to deal with legalism courageously. Rather, we have confused a whole generation by failing to deal with sin courageously.

He states that "legalism is disastrous to personal Christianity," that we "need to examine our system of values which is harmful and does not work." Now I agree that legalism would be harmful. But my contention is that having standards, regulations and guidelines for our members is not legalism.
