Firstly, Hypocrisy is not a virtue but a common attribute of us as Christians and it should no longer be. We know that God seeks the heart and we know that being created in His image is imitating in His holiness . That doesn't involve lies . Remember dears that there is no lie in truth ..no lie in truth....We cannot co exist with darkness and call ourselves children of the light. We can't operate in two different places, or do two different things AT THE VERY SAME TIME! We therefore can't only be Christians in appearance but in truth ....in public and in private we must DEFEND our faith, our loyalty to God . Not just before people but without them. He is still watching us. If you watch reality tv shows of like the housewives , one lady is going to be extremely close to this friend but as soon as she gets the chance away from her , she gossips about what was trusted with her.
