The Danger of Religious Hypocrisy, Part 1| Tearing the Mask Off Hypocrisy
The root of Hypocrisy is the fear of man.
When the way you live your life does not match what you say you believe you are being hypocritical. The Pharisee and scribes are the example Jesus uses to show us a hypocritical life. Boiled down, the root of hypocrisy is the fear of man. The Pharisee and scribes put on a show of loving God, but their actions show they wanted praise and honor for themselves. Travis explains how this is such a dangerous sin and we need to examine our lives regularly. As listeners we need to be discerning with what we are being taught. Discernment is not knowing correct from incorrect, but correct from not quite correct. God will hold you responsible for who you follow as truth, Jesus or a false teacher.
