Woe to the Pharisees!! (like me)
I have been thinking alot about these verses over the last few days,
'Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. Blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the dish and then the outside will also be clean...You are like whitewashed tomb, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men's bones and everything unclean.'
The more I think about Jesus' teachings, the more I realise that what really annoyed Him was anything that was not true. He hated falseness and pretense and He still does but the devil, who is the father of lies, seems subtly capable of dragging us all into this game of impressing each other with our religiousity from time to time. Thank-God for showing me that He sees through this in my life and in His abounding grace offers me a place to be true to myself and more importantly true to Him. Jesus make us more 'true.'

hey mate
does no harm to hear that now and again we can all be false at sometime and talk the talk but not walk the walk..we need to be true and practice what we preach.
