Hypocrisy is a cold slap in the face.

It has broken my heart to find that what you believe is true and genuine and good, is actually all a lie.

"My little children, let us not love in word and in tongue, but in deed and in truth." 1 John 3:18

The truth is that lies hurt everyone, even the casual onlooker.  They diminish integrity and respect. Sometimes the unlikeliest people can be so cruel. And you wonder Why?  I know we all have our flaws, but we are the body of Christ.  I truly do see the enemy trying to divide Christians and hurt their testimonies.  It pains me to realize that I have been so blind to hypocrisy.  But God can redeem it, somehow.
