The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In this talk, Steve Gregg discusses the danger of legalism and the importance of avoiding human traditions in religious worship. He argues that while traditions can be meaningful, they should not be elevated to the same level as the commandments of God. He emphasizes the need to continually seek spiritual truth and love for God and people, rather than merely following external ceremonies and rules. His talk also touches upon the concept of Corbin and the cautionary approach to making vows in religious dedication.
