The Imitation of Strength


Legalism vs The One True God


In general Legalism finds strength in one leader and their own, ever changing rules.  


This Legalistic Leader may use the God of the Bible's Words, but only to pervert it for their own uses.


????Questions???? 

Sometimes followers of a Legalistic Leader may wonder about how "this or that" actually follows God's Word.


* In general Legalistic Leaders must be followed without question* 


Most times the followers are afraid to ask questions and so the Legalistic Leader continues in their totalitarian rule with little trouble from their ineffective followers. 


These followers find their strength in a flawed human, following blindly - with reality being that they are following an imitation of real strength.


Real vs Fake 


With God's Word other people follow real Truth.


These people read and listen to what the God of the Bible says and they trust Him.


They trust Him, having faith in Him even when their own world crumbles in front of them.  


Their faith in the one true God - not a faulty leader -  is steady even through traumas and tears.  


He always stays the same; He keeps His Word; He comforts the wounded and lifts their head.  


These people draw ever closer to God - trusting Him more deeply as time goes by.


That is Real Strength.








Which do you desire?  

Imitation or the Real Deal?
