Allow me to share a particular conviction on my heart (in my personal life! I'm not yelling at ya'll, I promise haha. [If you are convicted though... what's that tell you?]).
--
We are responsible for the words we speak. We are ACCOUNTABLE. If you give instruction to another, you ought to be living that same instruction out yourself.
If you tell someone else that dating isn't right, you had better not be dating. If you tell another person that they should be digging into God's word, then YOU had better be digging into God's word. If you tell someone to quit their whining and press on... you got it, you should stop whining and just press on.
"But what about circumstances... what about different situations... there's all kinds of reasons-" No. There's all kinds of excuses. Either your word can be trusted or you're a hypocrite. As children of God we had better not be hypocrites in this world, because we're supposed to be reaching out to it. You wouldn't listen to one, right? So don't be one.
Remember that actions speak louder than words.
