<p>Many think that a <strong>minister </strong>is exempt from such <br />
          coldness, deadness, and barrenness, as private <br />
          Christians feel. And the hypocritical looks and <br />
          words of many of Satan's ministers favour this <br />
          delusion. Holiness is so much on their <strong>tongues</strong>, <br />
          and on their <strong>faces</strong>, that their deluded hearers <br />
          necessarily conclude that it is in their <strong>hearts</strong>.<br />
          <br />
          But, alas! nothing is easier or more common,<br />
          than <strong>an apostolic face and a Judas heart</strong>.<br />
          <br />
          Most pictures that I have seen of the &quot;Last Supper&quot; <br />
          represent <strong>Judas </strong>with a ferocious countenance. Had <br />
          painters drawn a holy, meek-looking face, I believe <br />
          they would have given a truer resemblance. <br />
          <br />
          Many pass for <strong>angels in the pulpit</strong>, who if the truth <br />
          were known, would be seen to be devils and beasts <br />
          in heart, lip, and life at home.<br />
          <br />
          &quot;How terrible it will be for you teachers of religious <br />
          law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! You are so careful<br />
          to clean the <strong>outside </strong>of the cup and the dish, but <strong>inside<br />
            </strong> you are filthy—full of greed and self-indulgence! You try<br />
          to look like upright people <strong>outwardly</strong>, but <strong>inside</strong> your<br />
          hearts are filled with hypocrisy and lawlessness.&quot;<br />
          Matthew 23:25, 28
