Last week I answered the question "Is it wrong to be a mega rich pastor?" I hope the answer encouraged and clarified the matter for the people who posed the question. I would LOVE to hear your feedback on the topic! This week, by the grace of God, we will answer a question that I am sure we have all asked ourselves before at some point: Why should I go to church when it is full of hypocrites?

A quick google search defines a hypocrite as, “a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess”. Taking us back in history, I remember sitting in an ancient Greek theatre during a time in university when I was studying Biblical archeology in Greece.

The tour guide explained that the word, hypocrite, is derived from the Greek word, hypokrites, which means an actor. Basically, a hypocrite is someone playing a part for an audience! And we have all met many people who say one thing and live another because they feel they must keep up with some type of appearance to please people!

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
