Make sure that you live what you preach and teach…

Romans 2:21-24

21 you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?

22  You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?

23  You who brag about the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?

24  As it is written: “God's name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”

Matthew 7:21-23

21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

22  Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’

23  Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

Titus 1:16

They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.

Matthew 23:28

In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.

1 John 3:18

Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.

Psalms 34:1  

I will extol the LORD at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.

Thoughts on this verse....

One way to keep our life on track and our hearts surrendered to the will and work of God is to praise our glorious LORD continually. Let's put our praise for God on our lips with song and memorized Scripture. Let's tell his wonderful and great deeds to our children, grandchildren, and friends. Let's give him thanks for all that he has done for us. Just as surely as he is with us always (see Ps. 139), let's praise him always.
