When it comes to this passage, I always think of those televangelists in their smart suits and polished smiley faces who operate to get money out of their disciples and acolytes.
And I think of some of the New Age teachers that I followed for a while when I was younger, who always failed to live up to what they preached.
That was generally because they were blokes, and they could not resist having sex with their attractive women students.
My dad used to say, “Practice what you preach.”
And so I think of him, too. I think of him with love.
