THE UNUSUAL HYPOCRITE (AN ARTICLE)

*** AN UNUSUAL HYPOCRITE ***

He secretly knows the Truth and acknowledges His Presence on dark lonely nights.

He speaks to Him softly when deep in thought but finds it 'uncool' to talk glowingly about Him when in the midst of 'intellectuals'.

Eventhough a light still burns within the recesses of his soul, he hides this light under a bushel- Matthew 5:15.

He is the most entertaining performer among God mockers, in debates held in Cybercity, yet, a war rages inside him, gnawing at his fragile peace.

God must obey men like Darwin, because they make so much 'sense'. Why cant man just be a descendant of apes? He asks with an air of overflowing intelligence.

Political correctness is a lifestyle which must not be compromised even if it offends anyone-God inclusive!

He makes a point and beats his chest proudly. He is swallowed up by the sheer genius of his invention of new buzz words: religitards for believers; and skydaddy for the Creator of the universe.

He is puffed up by the library in his head and says common sense is for common fools. Calling himself 'selfmade', he enjoys gifts but denies the existence of a Giver- James 1:17.

He considers it uncouth and indeed unfashionable to be born again. Still, in his closet, his spirit is troubled.

Hearing himself argue, he foresees himself giving an eloquent speech before God on why the Bible is a book of myths, fables and allegories.

He says he is responsible to man alone and not God. Why should God expect returns from investments He did not make, he opines?- Luke 12:48.

God's Decrees are questioned in the court of human judgements using evidences guaged from the temperature of a dying people. A people that can not stop earthquakes: cannot bring an end to wars; cannot justify the need for nuclear weapons; and cannot squeeze out all the benefits from a blade of grass!

Brothers and sisters, I speak of an unusual hypocrite. Are you one? Have you tasted the sweetness of God's Love and yet talk about Him with a vile tongue of gall?

Do you deny Him, so as to appear socially acceptable in the circle of 'high minds'? Does your denial have consequences? - Matthew 10:33.

If you come back to Him and acknowledge Him as Lord of your life, would you be mocked, insulted and spat on more than Jesus on the way to Golgotha?

Do think about these things. God bless you.

Share if you please.
