Matthew 23:27-28 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead people's bones and all uncleanness. So you also outwardly appear righteous to others, but within you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness."
Before we point a finger at the scribes and Pharisees that we know, we had better first take a look in our bathroom mirror. Many of us are guilty of this same sin ... the sin of hypocrisy. Really? No doubt. If we are honest, we would all have to admit that there are times that we pretend to be more spiritual than we really are. So we let on that prayer is our best friend, ministering to others is our first love, and the Bible is our constant companion. But in reality, our heart is cluttered by a lot of junk.
Spring is coming (really, it is ... just not soon enough for most of us!). With the season comes what many call "spring cleaning." Let me suggest that you take some time (I know, spare time is not something that you have a lot of!) and do some "spring cleaning" of your heart and soul. Ask the Spirit of God to help. It's something he excels at!
Thanks for stopping by . . .
