Most people think a ‘hypocrite’ is someone who says one thing and does another. We all do that. According to the Bible, the difference between a true Christian and a hypocrite isn’t what he does, but why he does it.
A hypocrite does it ... for himself
A Christian does it ... for Jesus
Are you a Christian?
