We have all heard that Christianity is just a list of "Do's and Don'ts," right? But is that true? This week's episode will talk about Christian Liberty and if it's okay for a Christian to enjoy a fine cigar, sip of bourbon, some new ink, or that new album that's topping the charts. It's not just a yes or no situation; in fact, it's a lot more than you think. Join us while we get a bit uncomfortable talking about things you've most likely been told were sin.

Discussion Questions:
Think of something you do that might fall into the category of Christian Liberty. Now ask yourself the following questions:

Is this something that's at odds with scripture?
What does my Pastor or Church Elder say about it?
Do the Historic Confessions speak to it?
Is this something I can do to the glory of God?
Is this something that will make a brother or sister in Christ "stumble"?
Is this hindering my witness to an unbeliever?
Is this becoming an addiction, or is it replacing my joy found in God?
Has it become an idol that is now taken Lordship of heart and mind over God himself?

"Thus the essence of legalism is rooted not merely in our view of law as such but in a distorted view of God as the giver of his law." - Sinclair B. Ferguson
