I'm a christian and i don't preach, I haven't been called yet...
but if you are talking about living our lives according to the Bible and trying to do the best we can...yes we do....if you are talking about telling someone that's not saved , or is just newly saved or has been saved for a long time, what to do,how to do,when to do, according to what their concept of the Bible is, but yet the one doing the telling does the exact opposite, even though they call themselves a Christian......this is what you call a hypocrite.....and a big stumbing block to a lot of Christians and would be Christians.....and they are blinded to what they are doing...they are Christians usually in name only...and they are the ones that in the Bible that at judgment will be told to depart from me I never knew you....it also say in the Bible a lot of people that think they will be going to heaven want because of the life they lead was not for the goodness of God, it was for their own benefit, but using God name to do their sins
We are not perfect and never will be til we are with Jesus in Heaven, and if a person call them self perfect they are a lie, and if they are Christian , and have caused someone that may have been wanting to know the Lord to not, they will have to answer for it before God..... Almighty.....

Do atheists Practice not "practise" what they preach? Do they conform to their own morality by demonically insult or bashed Christianity only. Do they only respect other religions and racially disrespect Christianity? What happen to atheists motto "Live and Let live" or does it only applies to True Atheists that don't BASH OR INSULT and spend all their time on a religious and spiritual section of Yahoo answers? PREACH to yourself First!
Shalom

Most don't exactly but they try to Choose The Right. And at the end of the day or maybe just on Sun. they think about all the wrong things they did and ask for forgivness, but hey we were told that if repent that we will be forgivin.

I try to. I am not perfect, so I do fail, but I try my best to practice what I preach. I call some of my friends and family on it all the time, and in return, they have called me on it.

I wish we always did, so people like you would see our message clearly without being distracted by our imperfections.
The answer to your question is: yes, genuine Christians do practice what they preach, but imperfectly so.

Not Always. Depends on how much they believe what they are preaching.

True Christians do. That's how you can identify the true religion.
1) Which religion doesn't go to war and kill their 'neighbour'?
2) Which religion doesn't tolerate immorality, especially amongst it's teachers?
3) Which religion doesn't get involved in politics?
4) Which religion practices love and isn't divided by racial, cultural or national differences?
5) Which religion follows the Bible, instead of man-made traditions?
Jehovah's Witnesses

I can only speak for myself. I try to practice what I preach, with the help of GOD.
