Topic: Pharisee (Far-is-he)
"Matthew 7:3-5 KJV
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? [4] Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? [5] Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye."
There's a lot of abuse of the things of God out there. People are now constantly taking pleasure in making mockery of the things of God, in the name of defending the truth.
Are you one of them?
Jesus rightly said "Matthew 7:20 KJV
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them."
You can see them bearing the fruits of pride, arrogance and aggression. They measure their righteousness by degrading others. "Proverbs 30:12 KJV
There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness."
They spend their days condemning and speaking evil of dignitaries, they are too busy condemning others, to see the need in their own lives, no wonder they live constantly in sin and justifies their sinfulness. "2 Peter 2:12 KJV
But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;" They do not seek to be free from their corruption, rather they seek to condemn others. God doesn't rule by the opinion of the majority. "2 Peter 2:13-14 KJV
And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; [14] Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:" They were children but they've been cursed, we have to be careful and watch where we stand concerning the matters of God's kingdom. This is not the time to appraise your holiness with the faults of others, like the Pharisees. "2 Corinthians 10:12 KJV
For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise." May we be among the wise in this dispensation, not being tossed about by every strange wind of doctrine.
They were called Pharisee in the days of Jesus' ministry, now FAR-IS-HE far from the will of God.

Prayer: Lord I receive the grace to seek you with the whole of my heart.
Help me to be closer to you, not to measure myself with strange standards.
