Great acting makes great entertainment.  Great artists can lead the viewers into their roles and into their realms.  But in real life, great acting can be dangerous.  Look at the many ways people try to scam us, gaining our trust only to steal from us, to use us, and sadly to abuse us.  This world needs people to be open, transparent and honest.  How we wish people would stop lying and deceiving.  The ancient Greeks had an interesting word for "actors" = "hypocrites."  In Matthew 6:-8, 16-18, Jesus warned against those who "play church" or "play spiritual" in order to gain praise or other benefits instead of being wholeheartedly devoted to God.  He challenged us to look deeper than the actions, to look inside to our motives, why we do what we do.  Let's take this time to look at the scripture and then look into the mirror.
