Pharisee's

Am I a pharisee? I think about my Mennonite background and the way Mennonites in general function and wonder, at times, if we are any better than the pharisee's. They were caught up in the ritual of the law but were unconcerned with heart issues. They did all the right things, looked a certain way, thus they were good people. Am I really a Christian? A person that is trying to live a Christ like life? Can we as Mennonites hide behind our traditional Mennonite dress? Will my children have a desire to love and follow Christ or hide behind the dress code? How do we keep from being like the pharisee's?
