From the book “Mornings with Tozer: Daily Devotional Readings” by A.W. Tozer
Let us not therefore judge one another any more. - Romans 14:13
I do not consider that it is my place as a Christian to stand around making judgments and calling other people “hypocrites.”
Our Lord Jesus Christ is the only man I know who was holy and perfect enough to call the religious leaders of the day hypocrites.
I am just a man with faults and shortcomings of my own, and I must always consider myself lest I be tempted!
I preach to my own congregation about our faults and our failings, with the warning that some of our professions of blessing and victory may get into the area of “unintentional hypocrisy.” Through the grace of God and the kindness of our spiritual ancestors, we may have spiritual light that some others do not have—but in all honesty, we are wretchedly far below what we should be in living up to it, day by day.
It helps us to be honest and frank and humble to know that the great God Almighty knows the secrets of every person’s heart!
Prayer: Lord, You know the secrets of my heart, yet You love me unconditionally. I confess my sins to You, Lord. Forgive me when I fall.
