Hypocrisy

I think hypocrisy may be the most difficult sin to recognize. I skipped the Good Friday service. It was Friday, I worked all day, I was tired. All I wanted to do was eat, have a drink and rest. Besides, I had read my bible last night, visited a friend who was down, provided some of my service free of charge, went to my bible study, hugged my wife, played with my kids, all in one week. My hypocrisy stems from my conversations. Those conversations where I discuss others and how where they are, is where I once was, but not where I am now. Self recognition of hypocrisy is near impossible. That is why the community of the Church is all important, accountability is the key. Maybe the lesson of hypocrisy is humbleness. God knows I sure could use a boat load of that.
