My first thought towards everyone defending those pastors was this:<BR/><BR/>If your doctor told you to quit smoking because it's so bad for your health, but then you saw your doctor outside puffing away on a cigarette, wouldn't you feel like your doctor was being hypocritical? <BR/><BR/>To me, that scenario is pretty much identical to the pastor in the half-million dollar home scenario. The pastor and the doctor are both giving you guidance on how to better your life - one in the physical sense, and the other in the spiritual sense. You are led to believe neither of those people would mislead you and that they would also follow their own advice. <BR/><BR/>For lack of a better way of saying it, you've gotta practice what you preach. Or else stop preaching it.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10233295478812395714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768529518959054896.post-66913229572998098272008-03-24T15:47:00.000-05:002008-03-24T15:47:00.000-05:00Interesting.

I am a bit more skeptical about those.Catch Her in the Wryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13052541966405145087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768529518959054896.post-27865291335666058162008-03-24T15:24:00.000-05:002008-03-24T15:24:00.000-05:00I thought that "commentary" was a cheap shot.

It has appreciated accordingly.lbotphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03108860934699243548noreply@blogger.com
