Author Description

Phar.i.see [far-uh-see] NOUN 1. A member of a Jewish sect that flourished during the 1st century B.C and 1st century A.D. and that differed from the Sadducees chiefly in its strict observance of religious ceremonies and practices, adherence to oral laws and traditions, and belief in an afterlife and the coming of a Messiah. 2. A sanctimonious, self-righteous, or hypocritical person Today, the term "Pharisee" has become a metaphor for all that stands in opposition to a vibrant walk with Christ. Like the Pharisee, we love money, relish disputes and love to pass judgment. "Healing the Pharisee Within" focuses on those areas of our heart that remain in opposition to Christ. If our heart resembles the parable of the four soil, most of us need a few more acres of good soil. Each "healing tip" provides a practical way to become more like Christ."
