Hypocrisy in the Church

The comforting sympathy of Barnabas is contrasted with the corrosive hypocrisy of Ananias and Sapphira. Hypocrisy deceives the church and the Holy Spirit. It is discovered. It does bring death. It must be confronted with a pursuit to holiness and integrity. We must be filled with the Word of God and the fruits of righteousness to the glory and praise of God.
