Hypocrisy!

What sin did Jesus condemn more than any other sin? Hypocrisy—especially the flagrant, self-congratulatory kind practiced by the Laity and religious leaders.

Religious hypocrites are unspiritual shams. They are trying to gain a reputation for spirituality by playing the role of God-lovers intent on obeying His law. They are unholy fakes who try to fool people—but they can’t fool God.

In a convocation address, Luther Smith, a professor at Emory University’s Candler School of Theology, warned against the danger of “faking it”—pretending to be something we are not. He mentioned that he had seen a bumper sticker that read, “Jesus is coming. Look busy.”

Although we may look busy, we can’t fool God about our faith, our character, or our service. Like the Pharisees, whom Jesus denounced (Mt. 23:13-28), we may appear to be sincerely religious. But the Lord knows if our profession is merely a facade without saving trust or genuine devotion.

Are you a churchgoing hypocrite, depending on your own good works to gain entrance into heaven? Or are you trusting God’s grace and relying on Christ?

You can’t fool God. It’s not enough to look busy.

God sees our ways and knows our hearts,

From Him we cannot hide;

External righteousness can't save,

For He knows what's inside. —Sper

 Die Empty!

One of the most beautiful book to read is "Die Empty" by Todd Henry. The author was inspired and got this idea of writing ​​this book while attending a business meeting.

When the director asked the audience: "Where is the richest land in the world?"

One of the audience answered: "Oil-rich Gulf states."

Another added: "Diamond mines in Africa."

Then the director said: "No, it is the cemetery. Yes, it is the richest land in the world, because millions of people have departed, "they have died" and they carried many valuable ideas that did not come to light and benefited others. It is all in the cemetery where they are buried."

Inspired by this answer, Todd Henry wrote his book "Die empty." Where he did his best to motivate people to pour out their ideas and potential energies in their communities and turn them into something useful before it is too late.

The most beautiful of what he said in his book is: "Do not go to your grave and carry inside you the best that you have. *Always choose to die empty*

The TRUE meaning of this expression is to die empty of all the goodness that is within you. Deliver it to the world, before you leave.

*If you have an idea perform it. *

*If you have a knowledge, give it out. *

*If you have a goal achieve it. *

*Love, share and distribute, do not keep it inside. Stop judging others and unnecessary grudges inside*.

Shall we begin to give and *spread every atom of goodness inside us.*

Start the race.... *Die Empty*.
