A Hypocrite
Visiting a church
Doesn’t assure the world
That you are a light,
Your heart – with God, it’s right
Speaking some words
Even though they may be good
Doesn’t assure the world
That you’re living for the Lord
Listening to a sermon
Without ever changing the heart
Never giving back – never giving hope
Promises the world
That you are someone
Who is a pretender – don’t you remember
God knows what you are
Inside, where no one else breathes…
He reveals the true spirit!
It takes more than church, words or preaching
To change a heart, a life, a believer
It takes an honest and sincere hearer
Listening without deceiving – never pretending
Always remembering to pray for His will
Believe in His gift, the whisper of grace…
It takes more than just a walk to the alter
It takes genuineness, authenticity…
Belief that is sincere and gives God the praise
It takes earnestness, seriousness…
Belief that is alive and survives the test of time
It takes heartfelt conviction and openness..,
Belief that promises to follow Him always - everywhere!
