A Subtle Sign Of A Pharisee

b'Do you act like a Pharisee? Before you say, "No! Never me!", answer these questions honestly. Do you have a critical spirit and look at other people's faults? Are you always condescending? Maybe you fell as if you are better than anyone else and your kids are better than other kids? Do you judge other people on everything and even on how they raise their own kids? If you even answer "Yes" to one question, then you are acting like a Pharisee. Before you judge others, you need to remove the "beam" out of your own eye. Find grace and mercy in other people, just like Jesus. Do you want to be like the Pharisees who were fault-finders, or do you want to be like Jesus who has a forgiving spirit?'
