Actually, the title of his sermon was, "What a Bunch of Hypocrites", but I think the Rev. Wells' message this last week might have had a more provocative title. After all, there's nothing all that arresting about charges of hypocrisy in our current social climate. But Wells reminds us this week that a measure of hypocrisy is unavoidable in the lives of fallen human beings who are genuinely struggling to live in accord with standards of virtue higher than the comfortable status quo. If you're not a hypocrite, you're either perfect already, or you're not even trying. Click on the link above to see streaming video of the entire service (the sermon starts around 39 minutes).
