I'd prefer if only Christians answer this question so it will be easier for me to choose a best answer. I'll ask this type of question again to people outside of our beliefs.
Thanx

For the most part I sincerely try to. But I stumble around at times, but then I will become focused again. My Spirit is willing but my flesh is weak.
I try to remind myself that the only bible some people will read is me. And they read my actions, it is more important to walk the walk, then talk the talk. A lot of unbelievers have heard the whole thing, but they haven't seen Christians live it.

I try my very best to live what I preach. I may make mistakes but that is just a part of being human. We're not going to be perfect. All we can do is live the best we can for the Lord and serve Him the best we can knowing that if we mess up we have an advocate with the Father that will forgive us. That doesn't give us the right to "willfully" do something but if we make a mistake there is forgiveness.

I try to everyday! The Bible says to offer yourself as a living sacrifice; man is that hard to do or what? Trying to be Spirit filled when you have dinner to cook and two kids to bathe before bedtime...sometimes can be overwhelming and unfortunately my spirituality takes the backburner. But the sun always shines after the rain, and Thank God for Grace and Mercy! Its just a work in progress for me. I try my best to teach by example..sometimes my biggest lesson is humility!

i sure do, and i don't put on a facade either. I don't cuss, i don't wear clothes that aren't right, i don't listen to things that are goign to make me think of wrong doing. As a christian we are to be christ like. Now i'm not saying we are God because we are far from even thinking we can ever be him, but we do have to remember that jesus died for us, and as a christian we need to keep away from worldy things, and also teach our children that the things in this world are not the things that God wants, he wants his people to be saved. So yes i beleive with my whole heart what i tell people everyday of my life, and my child. God Bless:)

I do not preach. However, Jesus asks us to spread the Gospel, the good news that Jesus loves us. And He asks us to love one another. We need to learn to care about the people, and that goes further than words. : )

I do, but it doesn't mean I'm perfect and never break a commandment. I do have the privilege of repenting and asking God for forgiveness and know that He will forgive me.

I try to but I usually fall flat on my face on a daily basis.I think most everyone falls into this same catagory in one way or another.

I personally do not and I admit that readily. It's not original sin that has us doomed to Hell, it is our inherent human nature to stumble, and to sin as much as you feel you can get away with. I try not to lecture others on virtuous behavior and moraltiy too much because of that. Were it not for Jesus's sacrifice, I would be damned as we speak. For his gift of salvation, I am grateful.

Give the 10 points to Machaira.
I have nothing to add to that.
Peace!

we try everyday and when we fall flat on our face we repent get up and vow to do, be and reflect Jesus better from this moment on
