We can think of other leaders and dismiss them from our minds with ease but we cannot easily dismiss Christ. We must either receive Him or force Him away, because He is the living Truth that continually knocks patiently at our hearts. Does your conscience hear His knocking?

And there always will be hypocrites parading as 'Christians', talking the talk but not walking the walk. But again, the presence of hypocrites does not mean that there is no truth! What if Neo had allowed hypocrites to discourage him from the truth? Should we allow hypocrites to turn us away from Truth, or to determine our destiny for u...
