How Not To Impress God!

It’s easy to be fooled. Mr and Mrs Devout are always in church, always to be seen praying, always lighting  votives, always to be found kneeling in their favourite pew. Are Mr and Mrs Devout good people? Well very possibly, but outward appearances can be deceptive. Perhaps Mr and Mrs Devout are the salt of the earth, but not necessarily.   Despite their Sunday best, perhaps Mr and Mrs Devout spend the rest of the week, complaining about the refugees next door, gossiping about other parishioners and ignoring the plight of the beggar sitting on the church doorstop. Outward appearances are no indication of what lies beneath.
