How do we battle insincerity and hypocrisy in our lives?
Kevin Swanson explains in this video that in many Christian families, there is often a lack of authenticity. We see insincerity in worship and hypocrisy within the home. Fathers and mothers model this to their children and their children pattern themselves after their parents.
The solution to insincerity is to confess sin, strive for transparency before God and others, and use Scripture to determine areas of insincerity. God demands that all insincerity be wiped out. The faithful preaching of the Word of God convicts us of hypocrisy, a lack of love for God, and a lack of true faith. Families need more faith and true love that manifests itself in proper obedience.
Matthew 7:3-5 (NKJV) - "And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye."
