THE SERMON - Hypocrisy: The Chief Sin of the Pharisees

Theology Applied

“[Worldliness] is as common and as fatal a symptom of hypocrisy as any other, for by no sin can Satan have a surer and faster hold of the soul, under the cloak of a visible and passable profession of religion, than by this; and therefore Christ, having warned us against coveting the praise of men, proceeds next to warn us against coveting the wealth of the world... lest we be as the hypocrites are, and do as they do: the fundamental error they are guilty of is, that they choose the world for their reward...” -Matthew Henry
