“Coffee with Christ”
(Luke 18:11-12)
“The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.”
When I see people that have a “Holier than Thou” attitude, I say, Their halo is too tight! When your halo is too tight all kinds of problems set in. When your hat’s too tight, you get a headache, but when your halo is too tight, you give others a headache! It brings dishonor to the name of Christ and Christianity. There was a comedian that used to say, You might be a redneck if.
Well, your halo might be a little to tight if:
You do good deeds to get attention.
Your prayers are said in order to impress others.
You believe that your good deeds out weigh the bad ones.
Halos are a figment of the imagination created by medieval artists. Your relation to Christ and others will be much more meaningful when you not only stop wearing your Halo so tight, but stop wearing it at all!
(Romans 12:3)
“For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.”
