Musing Through Matthew- Hypocrites Defined

Let us muse again today from Matthew 15:7-8 and the theme of Jesus the king. In our word for today we find hypocrites defined. In answer to those use excuses for not honoring  their father and mother, our Lord calls them hypocrites. He defines them as one who gives God tongue and lip honor but their heart is far from God. Let us guard our own hearts, search our hearts, and  be careful lest they be far from God.
