| Holier Than Thou: When Faith Becomes Toxic |
Do we love to read the Bible? Do we pray? Do we love to live according to the teachings of the Bible? So did the scribes and Pharisees. If Jesus were here on earth today, would he address his criticisms of the scribes and Pharisees to us (Matthew 23:1-12)? I believe that he would. What can we learn from his penetrating assessment? Do we practice what we preach? Do we unburden people and release them from heavy loads? Do we believe that clothing is unimportant? Do we take the less important seats and offer others the better seats? If we have a title, do we not demand it or allow others to treat us the same as everyone else? Do we emphasize that we are all taught by Jesus and have God as our Father? Are we humble servants?
