Interesting Observations from Matthew 23

Matthew 23- Seven Woes

Seven Ways to Guarantee God’s Anger:

1. Keeping others from entering the Kingdom of God (23:14)
2. Converting people away from God to be like yourself (23:15)
3. Following Man Made traditions instead of God’s word (23:16-22)
4. Involving yourself in every last detail and ignoring what is really important (23:23,24)
5. Keeping up appearances when your private world is Corrupt ( Matt. 23:25,26)
6. Acting Spiritual to cover up sin (23:27,28)
7. Pretending to learn from the past, but your present behavior shows that you have learned nothing (23:29-36)

It seems all of us have struggled with one of these woes. In fact I think form time to time I haev struggled with all of them.
