BEWARE OF HYPOCRISY

{{{MY FRIENDS THIS IS NOT A PERSONAL MESSAGE DIRECTED TOWARDS ANY PARTICULAR PERSON OR CIRCUMSTANCE, BUT ONE I FEEL LED TO SHARE.}}} So if you feel OFFENDED OR CONVICTED at all, ASK GOD TO SHOW YOU WHY that may be the case...... 


***BEWARE OF BEING A HYPOCRITE!!!!!*** We as Christians have to remember that we are {{REPRESENTATIVES OF CHRIST!}} We are supposed to be LIGHT to a dark and unbelieving world! {{{THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WATCHING US AT ALL TIMES, MANY OF WHOM LOOK UP TO US, AND MANY OF WHOM ARE LOOKING TO DISCREDIT OUR WITNESS FOR CHRIST AND EVEN CHRIST HIMSELF-EVEN ON FB!}}} But how can we effectively {{REPRESENT CHRIST}}, if we OURSELVES are behaving the SAME way or WORSE than the unbelievers?! We can't post about how good GOD is one minute and then '2 seconds' later post about how we are about to beat somebody up! Yes, one minute our MOUTHS (and even our FB PAGES) are filled with SCRIPTURE & PRAISES , and the next DOUBT & DRAMA?! Really?!


{{{ BELOVEDS, I KNOW IN AND OF OURSELVES WE ARE NOT PERFECT, AND WE ARE ALL WORKS IN PROGRESS; BUT DON'T USE THAT AS AN EXCUSE TO REMAIN IN SIN!! DON'T ALLOW THE ENEMY TO USE YOUR LIFE'S DRAMA, TO CAUSE YOU TO MISREPRESENT CHRIST!}}} Sure, we ALL need to vent at times, but we must be WISE in how we do so! We must use WISDOM in choosing WHO to talk to, WHAT we talk to 'WHO' about and WHEN we talk 'WHAT' to 'WHO.' Selah! 



{Matthew 5:14-16}- “YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. 15 No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, LET YOUR GOOD DEEDS SHINE OUT FOR ALL TO SEE, SO THAT EVERYONE WILL PRAISE YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER.

{James 3:8-10}- But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. 9 WITH IT WE BLESS OUR GOD AND FATHER, AND WITH IT WE CURSE MEN, WHO HAVE BEEN MADE IN THE SIMILITUDE OF GOD. 10 OUT OF THE SAME MOUTH PROCEED BLESSING AND CURSING. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.

{1 Peter 2:16}- For you are free, yet you are God’s slaves, so DON'T USE YOUR FREEDOM AS AN EXCUSE TO DO EVIL.


{Matthew 15:7-9}- YOU HYPOCRITES! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, when he said: “‘THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR FROM ME; in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”
