“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

One time for H-town

One time for D-town

One time A-town, M-town

Yea

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
