Hypocrisy

Every now and then we turn over fair looking stone which lies upon the green grass of the professing church, surrounded with the growth of apparent goodness...

And to our astonishment we find beneath all kinds of filthy insects and loathsome reptiles...

And in our disgust at such hypocrisy, we are driven to exclaim, All men are liars; there are none in whom we can put any trust at all.

It is not fair to say so of all...

But really, the discoveries which are made of the insincerity of our fellow creatures are enough to make us despise our kind...

Because they can go so far in appearances, and yet have so little soundness of heart.

~Charles Spurgeon~
