Two forms of Hypocrisy

Hypocrisy of the Saved Exposed
Was shocked and too bewildered 

As I entered Heaven's door,

Not by the beauty of all,

Nor the lights or its decor.

But twas the folks in Heaven

Who made me shutter and gasp--

The thieves, the cheats, the sinners,

The liars - all the rift raft.

There’s the kid from seventh grade

My lunch money, he stole twice.

My old neighbor next to him

Who ne’er said anything nice.

Herbert, who I always thought

The truth he could never tell,

Was sitting up on cloud nine,

Looking incredibly well.

I nudged St. Peter and asked

I would love to hear your take;

How'd all these sinners get here?

It must've been a mistake.

And why are all so quiet,

So somber? Give me a clue.

Hush, my child, they're all in shock.

No one thought they'd be seeing you.

But be ye doers of the Word 

and not hearers only, 

deceiving your own selves. 

James 1:22

Hypocrisy of the Lost Exposed

Maybe you're a drunkard, an adulterer, a prostitute, a liar; won't admit you are lost; are proud. Maybe you're even proud you're not proud, and Jesus has a time of it.

Jesus said: "Come to me," not to the Church; to me, not to a creed; to me, not to a preacher; to me, not to an evangelist; to me, not to a priest; to me, not to a pope; "Come to me and I will give you rest." Faith in Jesus Christ saves you, not faith in the Church.

You can join church, pay your share of the preacher's salary, attend the services, teach Sunday school, return thanks and do everything that would apparently stamp you as a Christian - even pray - but you won't ever be a Christian - until you do what God tells you to do.   Billy Sunday  (1862-1935)

For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him 

should not perish, 

but have everlasting life. 

John 3:16
