Pharisaism (legalism, dogmatism, separatism, judgmentalism, etc.) is alive and well and a destructive force in too many evangelical churches. 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 lifegiving 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.CONTENTSPart One Understanding Pharisaism 1. Who Were Those Guys? 2. Bad Blood 3.
