I agree with the sentiment here.  That's another "cliche" to be avoided. But 
I don't think we have to say this when we say we are "under Christ", the New 
Torah.  We are free to be slaves to Christ as we obey his commandments in 
fear and trembling.

If we love him, we will obey his commandments, and commandments they are 
(yeah, beating the dead horse here. :-)).  I live and work in an 
evangelicalism where "not under law, but under grace" is part and parcel to 
non-Lordship Finneyism.  So... apologies if my emphasis on Christ as Law 
smacks as a new and improved violation of Romans 7 and/or Galatianism.  To 
those evangelicals Lordship salvation is legalism.  To the CTer, Christ as 
Law is antinomianism.  Pass the chips and bring the salsa... there's room on 
this island for a few more. :-)
