Holy (wholly) Hypocrite March 1, 2006
At a recent gathering, I sat down with a relative who is not a believer. This man has been three times divorced, he left his first wife to fend for herself and raise three kids and avoided child support. His children now grown, two have kids out of wedlock, one is a former drug addict and that’s just the beginning. Anyway, as we sat down, he preceded to give me advice on how to have a good marriage and how to raise children. With my head cocked to one side, I thought, how do I respond to this guy? What gives this guy the right to lecture anyone on either of these subjects, when he’s failed so miserably in the very areas he’s suggesting. I ended up listening to him and not pushing the point of his track record. Later, I felt a certain self-righteous, “who does this guy think he is attitude” about the circumstance.
It was only later I saw how wretched a sinner I am with my judgemental, self-righteous attitude.
