Are You a Pharisee?

Quick Bulgaria Update:

I am so excited to announce that our dates and flights have been locked in! We are leaving April 14th @ 5:00 PM from RDU. We will be flying for about 8 hours then stop in London for a 2 hour layover. We will then fly to Sofia and then drive for about 3 hours to get to Svishtov, Bulgaria. We will be flying American and British airlines, which aloud us to drop our flight price from $1400 to $1250. We will come back to America on the 24th having a 2 hour layover in Paris and then home! God has already started a mighty work in our team, and we have already had the chance to see Him do some amazing things already!

Are you a Pharisee?
Mark 3:1
1And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand. 2And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him. 3And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth. 4And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace. 5And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other. 6And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

3 ways to know if you are a Pharisee 
1. You come to church to watch instead of worship.
2. When you could say something positive to help, you stay silent.
3. When it's all said and done, you did something, but then you huddle and talk, later. 

God was speaking to the people of the church in this passage, and He's still speaking to the church through this passage today. Way to many "Christians" sit around doing nothing because it's "not their problem", but you see it is. When one of your brothers and sisters in Christ are hurting and are in need of help, you should be hurting and right there to help. 
So my question for you is are you a Pharisee? Do you sit around doing nothing, when other need your help?
