SERMON OR EXAMPLE? <\/p>\n

Do you try to live what you preach,
\nNot a hypocrite in any way?
\nDo you back up with real actions,
\nAll the nice things that you say?<\/p>\n

People have heard so many sermons,
\nThey know all about the Good Book,
\nThey want to see a true example,
\nWhen at your life they take a look.<\/p>\n

\nDoing as Jesus said is what counts,
\nLacking a sample with our sermon,
\nTo nothing our fine preaching amounts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
