In this episode we will be discussing the dangers of "Perfectionism" and show how it is different from Wesley's teachings on "Christian Perfection." There are five major dangers of Perfectionism: It creates two “classes” of Christians It leads people to think they no longer need a Savior It leads to pride and superiority It puts an emphasis on works It leads to spiritual elitism We will discuss how trying to teach "Christian Perfection" is like trying to defuse a bomb. We need to be careful and study to show ourselves approved. We then look at what Wesley taught about "Christian Perfection" and illustrate that it was both different from "Perfectionism" and serves as a corrective to it.

In this workshop, Jacque Rhodes discusses how gospel music has become interwoven with popular music and considers what influence popular music may be having on gospel artists.
