"Looks like a duck..."
Scripture Reading:
Matthew 23:28 (HCSB) In the same way, on the outside you seem righteous to people, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

Devotional Reading:
If you've been to China in the last ten years, you know they have embraced capitalism with a passion while still professing to be communist. But professing to be one thing and
doing another is not unique to communism in China. It's the case for many who call themselves Christians and yet live the way they want to live. A recent Gallup poll found 82% of Americans believe that Jesus was the Son of God, yet 80% felt each individual should arrive at his or her own beliefs independent of any church. Now those two stats show a huge disconnect between belief and practice, between professing faith and living it. It's called hypocrisy and it's the number one reason people outside the church say they have no interest in Christianity. Whether you're a communist or a Christian, practice what you preach-or at least have the integrity to call yourself something else. Actions reveal what you really believe, no matter how much you profess what you are.
