You Might Be A Pharisee If...

You Might Be A Pharisee If...

(With apologies to Jeff Foxworthy)

• If you missed a family reunion or a funeral of a close friend because you didn’t want to miss the midweek service…you might be a Pharisee.
• If you ever worried about whether or not you should read the italicized words in you King James Bible because they weren’t in the original text …you might be a Pharisee.
• If you ever gave your pastor a doctor’s excuse for missing a Sunday evening service …you might be a Pharisee.
• If you ever tried to exchange your bratwurst for an Italian sausage because you found out they were beer brats …you might be a Pharisee.
• If you say grace before in-between-meal snacks …you might be a Pharisee.
• If you won’t let your kids read The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe because there is a witch in the book …you might be a Pharisee.
• If you object to the new church hymnals because they have “contemporary” songs from the likes of Andrae Crouch and Dallas Holm …you might be a Pharisee.
• If you think the new youth pastor should not be trusted with the care of your children because he has an ICHTHUS tattoo…you might be a Pharisee.
• If you rebuked the visiting preacher for not wearing a tie when he was in the pulpit …you might be a Pharisee.
• If you boycotted The End of the Spear because the part of Nate Saint was played by a homosexual …you might be a Pharisee.
• If you refuse to watch The Passion of the Christ because it borrows too heavily from Catholic tradition …you might be a Pharisee.

This is all from Gamaliel's Desk by Rick Presley. BTW the comments are about as funny as some of the other "mights".
