Hypocrisy In The Ministry
Adrian Rogers
John 6:70
Now I want you to take your Bibles tonight, if you will, and turn to John Chapter six, and look with me please in verse seventy. John Chapter six and verse seventy. "Jesus answered them, Have I not - Have I not chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?

Well you might work with someone named Paul, or someone named David, or someone named Jonathan, or someone named Andrew, or someone named Matthew, Mark, Luke or John. You might name a dog Judas.
