In this sermon Wrong Righteousness, as we read about the pharisee's, we learn of two lessons. God’s goodness should make us feel “humble” before Him not “better” than another. HELPLESSNESS is always your best prayer!  (“God, be a mercy seat to me, a sinner!”) The attitude of the Pharisees is perhaps best expressed in the modern religious idea that “I’m a good person” or “I’m as spiritual as someone else so I’m okay.”  That is Phariseeism! To enter the kingdom of heaven, our righteousness must exceed this.
