Practicing what we preach

I have an interesting experiment for you to try out.  The next time you find yourself talking about God or your spiritual beliefs, take advantage of a real-time opportunity to examine the extent to which you are "being" those beliefs while you're speaking about them, especially if you're speaking with someone who has slightly different beliefs than yours.  It's a fascinating experience, and it's at those very moments when you can make your most compelling argument for your beliefs, by actually giving the other person a living experience of the God you love.
