"And if you are confident that you [yourself] are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, and [that You are] a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of the childish, having in the Law the embodiment of knowledge and truth--
Well then, you who teach others, do you not teach yourself? While you teach against stealing, do you steal (take what does not really belong to you)?
You who say not to commit adultery, do you commit adultery [are you unchaste in action or in thought]? You who abhor {and} loathe idols, do you rob temples [do you appropriate to your own use what is consecrated to God, thus robbing the sanctuary and doing sacrilege]?
You who boast in the Law, do you dishonor God by breaking the Law [by stealthily infringing upon or carelessly neglecting or openly breaking it]? Romans 2: 20 - 23
I put the words that are in the parenthesis in bold lettering because they never catch our eye.
Are we unchaste in action and thought? Ha, that's a good question.
More than teaching through saying and words....it's important to live and do what we believe.
That's what is "making disciples...". If you are looking to draw people to the love of Jesus, love them first.
Our words and deeds should be the same.....that's when we can be a true leader.
Think on this.
