I Sin A Little

Don’t Be A Pharisee

Pharisees are one of the biggest problems in the church.

What is a pharisee?

Well a pharisee is a person who practices religion and acts just like the pharisees in the Bible.

They think they are saved by Works. Even if they won’t admit it. They think they are better than others. They believe they do not sin. And they try to force others to follow the same rules they obey. They usually try to control churches, families and people.

They crucified Jesus, because He didn’t obey their rules, and they didn’t want to lose control. They were envious of his growing ministry.

These same people would crucify Him again if He came into your church today.

I’m sure someone is coming to your mind as I describe a pharisee.

These people need saved. They are in a tough place. They practice self-righteousness but we are not saved by our own righteousness.

They are the Elder Brother. God wants them saved also. But, Jesus warned us to not be like them. Their works based doctrine will spread throughout, and ruin you. It’s like leaven. It only takes a little to puff us up. That’s pride. Pride comes because you think you are saving yourself. (Matt 23, Matt. 16:5–12)
