Six Warning Signs That You Are Becoming a Pharisee

Larry Osborne has a new book called, Accidental Pharisees: Avoiding Pride, Exclusivity, and the Other Dangers of Overzealous Faith.  In this blog post, he fleshes out some of the ideas from the book that help us not become crusty cranks like the Pharisees.

1. Disdain for those at the back of the line
2. A spirit of exclusivity
3. Extra-biblical rules and expectations
4. A pattern of idolizing the past
5. A quest for clone-like uniformity
6. Gift projection

Other books by Larry that I strongly recommend:

• Sticky Church
• Sticky Teams
