HYPOCRITICAL LOVE DETEST GOD

 Romans 12:9 (NCV) says, “Your love must be real. Hate what is evil, and hold on to what is good.” 


This verse exposes the heart of God regarding love. Love must be real—sincere, pure, and from the heart. It must not be fake or pretended. True love is sacrificial, meaning you give your time, honor, and affection to another—not because it benefits you, but because you truly care.

The Bible teaches us not to love in words alone, but also in actions. These actions are not just kind gestures—they are deeds of honor. When you honor someone, you are saying, "I see value in you." Sadly, many people pretend to love or care for others, not because they really do, but because they want to avoid hurting someone's feelings. While it may seem kind, it's actually dangerous and hypocritical.

In many relationships today, someone starts with genuine feelings but later sees traits or behaviors they cannot accept. Maybe the person breaks their trust, and the love fades. Instead of being honest, they keep up the act—smiling, texting sweet words, even making future plans—all while their heart is no longer in it. Romans 12:9 challenges us: “Let love be without hypocrisy.” If your heart is no longer in it, say the truth. Don’t lead the other person on. Don’t give them false hope. One day they’ll discover the truth, and it will hurt them more deeply than honesty ever would.

Jesus said, “The truth will set you free.” Pretending to love someone is emotional slavery. How long will you stay stuck out of fear of public opinion or guilt? Do yourself and the other person a favor—be truthful. Speak in love, but be clear. Everyone deserves true love and happiness, including you.

However, if you are married, love is not a choice—it is a command. Even when your spouse has hurt you, you must work to resolve the pain and rebuild love. Marriage is a covenant. God calls us to love deeply and forgive freely. Hypocritical love has no place in a godly marriage. Whether in dating or marriage, God wants us to love sincerely and live in peace as brothers and sisters in Christ.

Prayer: Lord, help me love sincerely, speak truthfully, and walk in honor. Cleanse my heart from hypocrisy. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

MISPLACED FEAR

Matthew 10:28  (NKJV) says: “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”   This is a direct call from Jesus to correct our fears. Many people fear human threats, sickness, poverty, storms, or death. Yet Jesus reminds us that these things can only touch the body. The true danger is sin, because it separates us from God and leads to eternal destruction. The only fear that matters is the fear of God, for He alone holds the destiny of both the body and soul. One day I was in a garage fixing my car. It was an open space and suddenly it began raining heavily. All the mechanics rushed to take shelter inside. As we stood, they began sharing jokes, laughing about drinking and the women they slept with. I always preach to them, telling them to repent and receive Jesus. But they laughed it off. As we were standing there inside, suddenly the storm grew stronger, with thunder and lightning flashin...
