The Death of Zarqawi and Legalism

The two things mentioned in the title of this post really have nothing to do with each other. Zarqawi is dead, and I am glad. I hope that doesn't sound unchristian to you. I was going to write this eloquent post about it, and then I read Patrick Mead's post for today, and well, he said it better than I would have so, have a look. Legalism is not dead, but I wish it was. Apparently a legalist took an anonymous pot shot at Jeff Garrett and his response in his post for Friday the 9th. of June was so simple and too the point. Jeff is a recovering alcoholic, a minister, and a wonderful Christian. I love his attitude, and again his comments are so much better than mine would have been, so take a look. You know, now that I look back, as I close these thoughts, maybe there is a common thread that binds the Zarqawis and legalist of our day. An absence of Love.
