Discovering the True Meaning of Hypocrisy in Religious Practices
Religious practices are intended to align individuals with the heart of God and improve relationships.

By understanding the original meaning of 'hypocrite,' we can realign ourselves with Jesus' teachings and avoid the pitfalls of self-congratulatory religious practices.
