*Fragrant Graves*

Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ who guides us in all morals.
"All things whatsoever they shall say to you, observe and do: but according to their works do ye not" quoting Matthew 23:3, Holy clothed Pulpits proclaiming sweet and blessing words, but their own deeds are untolerably against Scriptures. They also say, "you do not see our life, but look at Jesus alone". Since, we are also humans we always trip and sin… but look at Jesus alone !! Unshamingly they dare to use this statement.
Do not forget, Jesus Christ outlined the priests of the Law, in the seat of Moses. Matthew 23: 2
But we are not in the age of the law, but in the time of Christ.
In the time of Christ, the preacher shall be practicing his preaching first..then to teach it.
References below:
1 Corinthians 11: 1 "Be ye imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ."
Titus 2: 7-8 “Set your example in all things, and do what the enemy says is not evil.
1 Corinthians 4:16 "I beseech you therefore, be ye imitators of me."
1 Corinthians 10:33 "even as I also please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of the many, that they may be saved."
Philippians 3:17 "Brethren, be ye imitators together of me, and mark them that so walk even as ye have us for an ensample."
1 Thessalonians 1: 6-7 "And ye became imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit; so that ye became an ensample to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia."
2 Thessalonians 3: 9 "not because we have not the right, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you, that ye should imitate us."
Romans 15: 2 "Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, unto edifying."
Ephesians 5: 1-2 "Be ye therefore followers of God, as beloved children, and go on walking in love, just as Christ also loved us, and offered himself up for us for a sweet savor offering and sacrifice unto God."
It is always necessary and mandatory to test and correct ourselves in what we say before advising others.
Christ Jesus speaks of those who present themselves as holy on the platform are like the dead corpse packed which are nausea and stink. Matthew 23:27
They profess that they know God; but by their works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. Titus 1:16
Self-examination and self-correction is very, very, very necessary before taking the stage. Otherwise it is dangerous to preach to others. James 3: 1
