Hypocrisy, The Wrath of God, & True Community

Hypocrisy is not the disparity between what we are and what we long to be. It is not the gap between what we want to do and what we actually do. Hypocrisy is, instead, the gap between the public persona and private character. Hypocrisy is theatrical religion: religion as a means of personal enrichment or enhanced reputation. Hypocrisy is evil. God hates it, and we must remove every stench of it from ourselves.
Yes, God hates hypocrisy, but why? Because He is forming real community - where you know my junk and I know yours, and we don't think it's okay - but we give grace as work this out, and never make excuse for sin.
