"Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops" (Luke 12:1-3).
Jesus ate with tax collectors and sinners. He healed the lepers and forgave the woman taken in adultery. But Jesus didn't have a stomach for the hypocrite. What's your secret life like? If a record of all the internet sites that you have visited in the last 6 months was sent to every member of your church and family, how would you feel? What do you stay up late at night to watch? Are there places that you visit that you don't want anybody to know about? God knows all about it. "For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known" (Luke 12:1). You might be fooling those around you, but you're not fooling God. Your secret sins will be unconvered either in this life, which is often the case, or in the age to come. If you don't take off the mask, sooner or later God will do it for you.
