Is Christian freedom about watching movies or memorizing the Ten Commandments? Can Christians smoke cigarettes? What does it mean for a Christian to delight in God’s law? All Christians want to grow in grace, but it seems easy for churches to stumble into legalism or license. The goal of this panel is to consider what it means to pursue Christian holiness and freedom, and how the local church is the best place to do both.
