Deadly Marks of the Church

Who is the most spiritual person you know? If you asked that
question to a Jew in Jesus' day, they probably would have pointed
to a scribe or a Pharisee. The most religious people memorized
large chunks of the Bible, could pray for an hour out loud and sat
in the front of the church. We do the same thing today; our
religious hero can school any atheist in apologetics, give tons of
money to orphans, wear a face microphone and carry a heavy study
Bible. But our hero can perform all these tasks and still be
spiritually dead. Jesus breaks down these misconceptions.
