When you hear a great Bible lesson, take it to heart. If you are taught a new way to behave that aligns with Jesus’ teaching, be sure you do it first. Reading a great book about faith can help you learn how to grow as a Christian but practice the ideas in your life before sharing them with others.

One challenge in the life of faith is to preach to ourselves before we preach to others.

The first question is not, “Who do I know that could benefit from this?” Instead, the question is, “How should this change me?”

Before you seek an audience to listen to your sage advice, be sure it has penetrated your heart and transformed your life first.
