Inside Out

I am so sick and tired of this hypocrisy!! I'm tired of sitting in church and hearing Pastors pour out the Message from God and seeing no movement. We sit and look around to see who God was speaking to today. You dumb idiots! HE has been speaking to us and what do we do? Ignore Him.
We are the Pharisees of today. We pride ourselves on looking the part and "acting" the part when in reality we are no better than the next person.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which indeed appear beautiful outside, but inside they are full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. Matt. 23:27
Oh God, forgive us. We have been so busy maintaining the OUTSIDE of the cup that we forgot the INSIDE. The outside is important. It is important to "look" holy, but if we aren't holy then we aren't worth beans to God.
We can "Amen!" the Pastor and act all into Christ on Sundays and Wednesdays but what does it matter if we just pretend?? What does our pretending do for those watching us? Nothing... in the end we will be shown for the big fakers we are.
It's time to become real. It's time to start cleaning out the filth in our lives. It's time to change the INSIDE of the cup. It may mean the saving of your life and the life of someone else.
What do you have to lose?
Everything.
For the Son of Man shall come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He shall reward each one according to his works. Matt. 16:27
Note: Jesus said Works, Not pretend games.
