The first guy one ups him saying, "I don't wear short sleeves, wear a mustache." Not to be out done, the other one says, "My holiness is so great that I don't even drink coffee since I become convicted of it." Back and forth go the one-up-man-ship until the two guys fall out with each other calling each other a pharisee and full of spiritual pride, pledging not to be like the other guy.
Spiritual pride is a funny thing but sooooo deceiving. |
Right on,brother!
