If a person truly does not believe in God but he acts like he does, for whatever reason, that’s hypocrisy. Think of it as “faking it”. However, if someone who really and truly believes in God falls short and sins, that’s not “hypocrisy”, that’s called being a weak, fallible, human being, who stands in need of a gracious God. The difference has to do with the heart. And only God knows someone’s heart.

Speaking as someone who has been dealing with the feeling of being a hypocrite this morning, this could not have come at a better time. It gave me the added support I needed to send a note of apology to someone today. Thanks.
You're welcome, Mary. It's amazing how God engineers the timing of things.
