Avoid Hypocrisy

“The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray.” – Galatians 2:13

Enid Blyton was an English children’s writer, whose books have been worldwide bestsellers since the 1930s, selling more than 600 million copies.

Her books are still enormously popular and have been translated into 90 languages.

Blyton said she had a responsibility to provide her readers with a strong moral framework, so she encouraged them to support worthy causes.

However, she had a series of affairs, including lesbian relationships with one of the children’s nannies
Blyton had two daughters, Gillian and Imogen, with her husband, Major Hugh Alexander Pollock.

Long after childhood, Imogen wrote an autobiography called A Childhood at Green Hedges, which had a long account of all the abusive and neglectful things their mother did to them. Enid was often too wrapped up in her writing to take care of either of them, leaving them mostly to nannies.

Their mother was also frequently cruel and would berate them for seemingly innocuous things.

Hypocrisy is a sin.

Confess any sin of hypocrisy in your life and seek to have integrity in all that you do.

“Do not live one way in private, and another in public.” – Quintilian

“Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind.” – 1 Peter 2:1
