Philippians 3:17
"join with others in following my example, brothers and take note of those who live in according to the pattern we gave you."

Often, we will ask non-Christian why do you rejected to go church?
"I would rather to see a sermon any day, than hear one!" this is the answer.
I'm not distressed because people want to see a sermon, but because so many of us don't practice as what we preach!

as a leader or any position of authority we hold, our primary tool of influence is our life of character (or lack of it).

So, do you practice what you preach? ermm.. did I?

All of us who seek to influence others redemptively, yes is a MUST! but why?!
as most folks need to both hear and see the message before it becomes a part of them.

so, if you do in your daily life is different with what you preach, do you think that you are able to influence others? it's not a problem of preaching.. the problem is if you don't change your attitudes, your behaviors, your witness are just normal as a non-Christian or sometime even worst! so I'm here to warn everyone of us, including myself.. please show God a good example before you go to a mission trip! not only mission trip, your friends surrounding would just influenced by you if you have a good testimonial!!
