Everyone has a desire to be recognized for their accomplishments and the good things they do. This desire for recognition can drive people to put on a front that disguises who they really are, which makes them actors, con artists, or phonies. Or in the church they are called hypocrites. In the next few weeks we will see Jesus challenge his followers to be the real deal in their religious observances.
Matthew 6:1-4
