With all due respect, and without trying to start a posting war, the kind of mentality that reduces our lives with Christ to “principles” comes dangerously close to making the gospel into a “religion” the way Rome does. I know many people enslaved to these kind of “principles”. Paul taught a much wider vision of ideas, a much more comprehensive and complex understanding of our rescue throughout his letters. While I don’t question his sincerity, I respectfully reject Stanley’s systemization of these matters.
You listened to the sermons, I presume, before you posted your comment?
Agree. Religion is not from God, Freedom is.
