“Truth without love is brutality, and love without truth
is hypocrisy.” ― Warren W. Wiersbe
Scripture
Jesus began to speak first to his disciples, saying:
“Be[a] on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Luke 12:1

RIP to Medgar Evers,
RIP to Doctor King
I ain't tryna hate on my own kind
But Al and Jesse don’t speak for me
I’m probably gon' catch
Some flack man,
But Imma swallow this pill
Like pac man
Some of these folks wont tell the truth, Too busy tryna
get them racks man
Church tryna rob my paycheck, choir members probably
having
gay sex
Pastor manipulatin, hurtin women,
I wonder what he's gon' say next
Bookstores pimpin them hope books, Like God don’t know
how
broke looks
They tellin me that I'm gon' reap a meal
If I sew into these low crooks
Plus I know homegirl a freak
Now how she singing a solo?
I walk in the church with a snap back And they tellin
me that
that’s a no no?
That’s backwards and I lack words for these for these
actors
called pastors
All these folks is hypocrites,
And that’s why I ain't at church
Truthfully I’m just doin me,
And I don’t wanna face no scrutiny
As long as the church keep whilin out, I can justify
all my
foolish deeds
Smokin weed, pourin up,
Keep that lean up in my cup
Maybe I can change the world,
But this porn on my laptop got me stuck
Yeah I know what's right from wrong, But that there
ain't gon'
sell a song
I’d rather sell my soul than save it,
If that what make my money long
It better not be no real god,
Real hope, that heals hearts
It shows me that I ain't livin up
To all these things he put me here for
It better not be no real church,
Real saints, who pray hard
And let me rock my snap back
With the 501’s and the J's on
It better not be no real folk,
Who don’t think that they better than you
Straight or gay, drunk or high,
They walk through the cold
Weather with you
No we don’t wanna see that,
Cuz that might mean a life change
That might mean I'm worth more,
The money, cars, sex and pipe dreams
Better not be no real Jesus,
Real forgiveness, for hurt folks
If God gon take me as I am
I guess I already got on my
Church clothes
Sentence
Prayer
Father forgive us for being hypocrites. God, we want to
honor
you with every word that comes from our mouth and every
action we take throughout the day. Holy Spirit, give us contrite
hearts. Give us humility to see how far from perfect we are
and how
badly we need you if we are ever going to live lives
that
glorify you. Help usto realize when we’re being judgmental
of others. Your
word says that “at whatever point you judge
another, you are
condemning yourself” (Romans 2:1). We are
not fit to judge. It’s
foolish for us toeven try. God, replace the judgmental spirit in all of
us with your agape love. Thank you,
Jesus. We love you. Amen
