Commenting on Galatians 4:28-29, Terry L. Johnson, senior minister of Independent Presbyterian Church in Savannah, Georgia, states the following in the March edition of Tabletalk magazine:
Christians are often persecuted "by their half-brothers — the unbelieving but religious people in the nominal church," says James Montgomery Boice. ... On a personal level, Christian people typically suffer far more at the hands of fellow professing Christians than people of the world. ... Why? Because the besetting sin of zealous Christians is Pharisaic self-righteousness. We can become Pharisees about food and drink, child-rearing and education, fashion and finances, and make these tests of orthodoxy.
