You Might Be A Pharisee If....

I stumbled upon this post here. Very good post...I could add a whole bunch more to it....but still really good!

Get your best Jeff Foxworthy voice on as you read....

You might be a Pharisee if:

• You see church as all about ministering to you and your personal needs.
• You don’t really think you need grace – after all, you’re doing pretty good at this Christian thing.
• You judge others by their actions, but are offended when people fail to judge you by your intentions.
• You don’t really feel called to minister to “those” people.You sure wish ole Jimbo or Earnestine had been here to hear this today – because God knows she sure does need to hear it.
• You rush to judgment and meting out punishment first without ever considering the possibility of mercy when you hear of someone else’s failure.
• You’re consumed with splinters and haven’t dealt with personal logs.
• You actually acknowledge that you have sin, but know it’s nowhere near what other people are doing.
• God will take care of “those people.” You just worry about ministering to me and my family and keeping us happy pastor.
• Phariseeism is a virus – contagious – the only way to treat it, to wash regularly with the water of the Word and apply grace generously.
