font-size: 14pt;\">God\u2019s Word clearly tells us not to deceive ourselves.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>And yet far too many men and women who call themselves Christians are proven to be hypocritical and dishonest by what they say, what they do, and how they live out their lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I am not judging anybody or anything with my statements.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>They are simply my personal observations from over four decades of working with people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
