The Dangerous Slide from Spiritual Passion to Pride
Have you ever noticed how the most zealous believers sometimes become the most judgmental? It's a paradox that plays out in churches worldwide. "Accidental Pharisees" tackles this uncomfortable truth with refreshing candor. What makes it particularly powerful is how it holds up a mirror to those who consider themselves the most devoted followers of Jesus. Even renowned pastor Tim Keller admitted this book "made me wince with recognition several times." The journey typically begins innocently - perhaps through an eye-opening mission trip or a powerful sermon that inspires greater commitment. The danger emerges when personal pursuit of holiness transforms into frustration with those who seem less committed, eventually evolving into contempt and arrogance. Unlike the ancient Pharisees who were deliberately legalistic, accidental Pharisees are well-intentioned believers who genuinely want to honor God. That's what makes this spiritual condition so insidious - it masquerades as devotion while actually undermining God's work. Surprisingly, in Jesus' day, being called a Pharisee was actually a compliment! They were respected for their theological knowledge and spiritual zeal - all qualities modern Christians admire. The Pharisees saw themselves as God's biggest fans, yet opposed him when he appeared in ways that challenged their religious assumptions.
