Maybe We Could Use Some Legalism

In learning more about "grace" and "mercy" and moving past legalism, is it possible that our Christian culture has swung the pendulum to a polar side where we have left the fundamental truths to the wayside?

Does it seem in our churches we are seeing many who are simply willing to make the bad choice, feel bad, and then move on?

I am NOT asking what is 'right', or 'what does Scripture say about this'? I am asking us to take a look at things.

What say you?
