Hypocrisy


Revelation 3:16 New King James Version (NKJV)

16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.

 

Why expect more of me than you do of yourselves?

You remind me so much of the Pharisees

They read all the law and books on shelves

And told others how they ought to be

 

They did not lift a finger to help the poor

But they wanted to be admired for “caring”

Hearts of stone behind re-enforced doors

Not ever touched in person "unconditional" sharing
