Get Real

CONSIDER THIS

Abraham Lincoln once said, “If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?”

There’s a couple in the Bible, Ananias and Sapphira, who craved attention and applause more than anything. They both put on a “mask” of being something they weren’t. In the process, they got busted for lying and hypocrisy with deadly consequences.

Jesus warned His followers about hypocrites because He knew we sometimes like to put on a good show — simply by going through the motions, like putting on our happy face when we walk through the church doors when inside we are hurting and falling apart. God unmasks hypocrisy because He wants us to get real. No masks. No pretending. No “look at me” attitudes. He desires a Church that chooses to be the “real you” and Jesus doing life together.
