Intro:
I remember being a young man and looking at the people around me.
I was thinking man me and God must be in good with each other because all I see in this school are drukin’ teenagers all looking to have fun and care nothing about going to hell.
Sure do feel sorry for them, sure am glad I am going to heaven.
Yep that was me, the kid that went to church a few times in my life and here I was better than everyone.
As a matter of fact I even remember thinking of this very verse:
Prayer
Yep, ya’ll better stop sinning and get it figured out like me or your going to hell.
I don’t think I could even spell pharisee back then, must less understand what a pharisee was, but I have an inkling it looked something like what we find in John 5:9-10.
