Our theme for 2021 is “No Turning Back,” focusing on Galatians 4:9. I presented three proclamations to guide our obedience. No Regressions: I am not turning myself back to the life of a servant, when God calls me a son. No Restraints: I am not tying myself down to a system of worship and rules that focuses on man and what he can do. No Rituals: I am not trusting in myself to win the approval and acceptance of God. As Christians, we reject legalism because we believe that salvation is provided by grace through faith in Christ Jesus; yet, we often appear to practice legalism: We strive to earn God’s love and favor; we think ourselves more spiritual than others because of our gifting and service; and we tie our righteousness to our standards. Furthermore, we value rules over a relationship with Christ; we are full of production but lack power; we institute superficial standards without a submitted heart; and we constrain the flesh without ever changing the heart. I have made my clear choice: I have decided to follow Jesus, No Turning Back!  ~ Pastor Tim Lindsey
