You Might Be A Pharisee If -- Part 3

You Might Be a Pharisee If ...

"The Pharisee stood up and prayed about himself: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other men--robbers, evildoers, adulterers--or even like this tax collector." Luke 18:11 (New International Version)

Here are the last set of questions from Dr. Harold Vaughn, President of CHRIST LIFE MINISTRIES, in how you can determine if you are a Pharisee. Here some additional indicators:

27. Your sense of self-importance blinds you to the fact of how repulsive you are to others.

28. You always come out in a favorable light when you compare yourself with other men.

29. You feel anger is justified because you are right and those you are angry with are wrong.

30. You cling to "emotional infallibility" -- the belief that whatever you feel in your heart must be correct.

31. You believe a person really pleases God by keeping all the rules.

32. Your theological "rigidity" is more important than all other factors.

33. You feel the trail of broken relationships in your past is due to some fault in the other person.

34. You visually and intellectually comply in order to gain acceptance and approval.

35. You are dominated by the fear of man.

36. You are insulted by the notion that you may very well be a Pharisee!!!!

So how are you doing? Are you a Pharisee? If so -- repent! Go to the Cross, preach the Gospel to yourself and become a recovering Pharisee!!!! -- Bill Welte is President and CEO of America's KESWICK, and by God's grace, a recovering Pharisee

I certainly want the ministry of Freedom Fighter to be a ministry of encouragement to you. I have not had ANY comments in over two weeks from anyone receiving the email or website blog. I am getting many comments from our Facebook friends. I'd love to hear from you. Are we hitting the target areas or am I missing the mark? Let me hear from you today.

God's Word for YOU: Proverbs 10; Deuteronomy 10-12; Mark 12:1-27

Great Quote: We need not all pray the same way. The important thing is to pray, to talk to God, and to be honest in our communication. We differ from each other in many ways. What is important is a relationship with God that allows us to be true to ourselves and our present circumstance, and to be free to share that with God. Anonymous
