Practice What You Preach

Jesus issues seven woes directly to the Pharisees and scribes. They preach a version of the truth, but they do not live it.

* You might ask yourself, “How can I avoid being like the Pharisees that Jesus rebukes?” 

*There’s much we can learn from Jesus’ stern words—including “practice what you preach”—but one lesson stands above the rest: Do not reject Jesus.

*The Pharisees are like a son who says he will obey his father (Matthew 21:28-32), but their rejection of Jesus shows they will not. They are like tenants of a vineyard who foolishly plan to kill their master’s son (Matthew 21:38). And they are like ignorant guests, refusing an invitation to a great wedding feast (Matthew 22:5).

How can we not be like the Pharisees? Accept Jesus!...from Today's Devotional

                      (Matthew 22:5).


The parable of the two sons is the story Myra spoke about at our group on Friday. What stood out for me was I said that some people preach on the platform but don't live it out them selves. But Myra said never bother about the person but the message.

But I think this is wrong I feel they are false just like the pharisees. I was like this in recovery. I would look to see how that person lived before I took their advice. Many loved to tell you what to do but don't do it themselves..

So as it says in the Devotional if we dont want to be like the pharisees 

WE MUST PRACTICE WHAT WE PREACH.
