This plague hinders effective outreach, burns out professional and lay leaders and has contributed to the mass alienation of tens of thousands of young people from evangelical churches to the point where they have no church affiliation at all, or they associate with churches that may have compromised the gospel in their attempt to be culturally relevant. This book makes the point that the key to defeating Pharisaism is by proactively steering people away from Pharisaism while at the same time showing them the life-giving truth that is found in true kingdom living, beautifully communicated through the Sermon on the Mount. As Jesus trained his disciples, he kept pointing at the Pharisees and saying, ""Do not be like them"".</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Gary Tyra</note> <subject> <topic>Christian Life -- Discipleship</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Sermon on the mount</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Jesus Christ -- Parables -- Sermons -- History and criticism</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Pharisees</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">226.9</classification> <classification authority="ddc">T992-G21</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9781606570166</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/16617/3.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/16617/3.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2025-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071623.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
