Examples

The world is changed by your example, not by your opinion. (Paulo Coelho, Brazilian novelist)

It’s pretty obvious, isn’t it, that Americans are highly opinionated people? It’s most evident in election years when the political scene is crowded with so many who want their ideas to be heard. The real test of the worthiness of a candidate who is running for office is not so much what he or she says, but their example, how much their lives back up their rhetoric.

And you yourself must be an example to them by doing good works of every kind. Let everything you do reflect the integrity and seriousness of your teaching. (Titus 2:7)
