We have a large force of hypocrisy police on patrol in the streets and back alleys of our world today. They can operate from the comfort of their homes or in the pubic square.

There are also vigilante who spend a great deal of their free time unmasking those they believe to be hypocrites.

I think there are many people who are dead wrong and proclaim deadly wrong information, but who are not hypocrites.

At the same time, there are people who say things we need to hear and heed who may be hypocritical in many areas of their lives.

And, I further believe that I am as susceptible to the undertow of hypocrisy as anyone. 

When one is convinced that one is speaking truth because one has sought earnestly to process truth, one does not need to join the hypocrisy police force.

Hypocrisy usually reveals itself without any outside assistance. If something is true in one context, it is true in the next.

I really do not have time, energy, nor inclination to be a full-time hypocrisy cop.

But, if I were such a cop, I might continue writing very objective tickets, one at a time, for running red lights.

I'd write the ticket and not make a speech about it. It is about the speed and the behavior. The character of the driver is of no concern in that moment.

Tell it to the judge.

In a general way, I will say that there is plenty of hypocrisy in the world and it is a sin … maybe one of the biggest sins … because it is rooted in the lies we tell ourselves about ourselves … especially when we tell ourselves that we have no hypocrisy in us.

As for you or anyone else, I have no idea who is or is not a hypocrite.

Honesty is the antidote to all hypocrisy:
Honesty with ourselves.
Honesty with God.
Honesty with those closest to us.
Honesty with our perceived enemies.
Honesty with the world.
Honesty with our doubts, fears, and uncertainties.
Honesty that reserves possibility that we could be wrong …
… that we might learn something.
