QUOTES on "PHARISEES"
"Pharisaism is a poisonous weed that grows in every garden of
orthodox religion. Pharisaism is every bit the threat to the orthodox
today that it was then."
- J.D. Greear
"Sometimes we emulate the Pharisees more than we imitate Christ."
-R. C. Sproul
"If God cared only about religious activities, then the Pharisees
would have been heroes of the faith."
-Francis Chan
"Legalism is a subtle danger because no one thinks of himself as a legalist."
- Philip Yancey
"The law repels, the gospel attracts. The law shows the distance
which there is between God and man; the gospel bridges that awful
chasm, and brings the sinner across it."
- Charles Haddon Spurgeon
"Primary enemy of the Gospel-legalism... People avoid the
gospel and try to save themselves by keeping the rules, doing
what they´re told, maintaining the standards, and so on (you could
call this "front-door legalism")."
- Tullian Tchividjian
"A pharisee is hard on others and easy on himself, but a spiritual
man is easy on others and hard on himself."
-Aiden Wilson Tozer
