hypocrisy

living under a false assumption of virtue.

noticing the piece of dust in your friends eye and ignoring the piece of wood in yours.

hypocrites tend to close the door of salvation. You've heard the church being criticised for being hypocritical. People often use that excuse for not coming to Christ.

Doing good things, tithing or fasting but ignoring the best things. Justice, mercy and loyalty. Being just, merciful and loyal.

I was
A tender reed
Bent in the wind
And then the storm passed
And you helped me stand upright again
