Liar-Fireflight

Hypocrisy-unfortunately it is something seen too often in our churches. People who claim to be faithful servants but end up as greedy liars. Many preachers on tv and not have gotten into trouble for stealing money they promised for ministry but instead used for selfish gain. These people usually lead more people way from Christ than to Him. People who need salvation turn away because of the hurt and betrayal.
Fireflight speaks of the consequence of these types of hypocrites in their song Liar.

Empty prayers falling out your mouth
Jesus said it better and He didn't have to shout
Maybe if you change it you can get your way
Just rearrange it and you can get paid

A little more money comes in every day
Faith and five dollars goes a long way
Look at your pockets filled up with gold
But what's in your heart is making you cold

Chorus
Sick of all your lies
It’s who you are
We see through your disguise
None of your dreams come true
It’s time you know
You can’t sell the truth

All that I see when you start to cry
Is the rock on your finger and gleam in your eye
Your sad story is making me sick
So change the channel cause it's getting thick

Blind accusations are all you can say
But you'll say anything as long as you're paid
Look for their weakness you feed on their
need
but behind your eyes is nothing but greed

Bridge
You party and dine with the fattest of swine,
But your stink can’t hide behind closed doors,
Get your hands off my face, I won’t shudder and shake
What you’re selling, I won’t buy anymore
Why do you lie to make me love you?

The Pharisees were also hypocrites. They judged others but did not live up to their own expectations. Jesus warns us about caring about only the outward appearance:

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside they are full of robbery and self-indulgence. You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, so that the outside of it may become clean also. "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness. So you, too, outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. (Matthew 23:25-28 NASB)

Let us not be hypocrites but instead strive to die to ourselves and live as Jesus lived, as humble servants loving others.
