       If we are simply just watching what we say, we are cutting the grass. We aren’t getting to the root of the problem. The root is what is actually inside our hearts. People can say good things that aren’t really coming from their hearts. They can pretend to be righteous. They can say this or that because that’s what they feel they’re supposed to say. This is pretending to be religious. It is giving textbook answers, the correct answers, but they aren’t coming from the person’s hearts. Thus, this means the person is deceiving themselves. They think they are religious because they have become good at faking people out, or we might say they have become good at acting. Remember, the Pharisees and Teachers of the Jewish Law were really good at this during Jesus’ time. And those people surely are still around. Part of being authentic is being honest and upfront. If a person is hiding things, if he or she is just pretending, the authenticity isn’t there. The religion of this individual is worthless. These people can be easy to identify at times, and sometimes you have to get to know a person first.
