Become a Practising Lawyer in Canada. OsgoodePD offers the broadest range of programs in Canada for internationally-trained lawyers and law graduates interested in becoming accredited to practise law in one of the common-law jurisdictions in Canada (that is, all provinces and territories other than Quebec).
The saying “practice what you preach” originates from Jesus’ teaching about legalism. Giving instructions to someone else which we are not willing or able to follow makes us hypocrites. This kind of do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do behavior fuels mistaken ideas about who God is as reflected by Jesus. Moreover, Jesus says “practice” not “master.”
Practicing what we preach is not be easy because of our sin nature, so Jesus encouraged followers “you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” ( Acts 1:8)

A Prayer to Practice What You Preach. Father, it is impossible to be steadfast in love, a faithful servant, in my sinful and fallen state. I can only act out a Christ-like love of others in His strength, by the Holy Spirit.
Practicing what we preach is not be easy because of our sin nature, so Jesus encouraged followers “you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”. ( Acts 1:8)
Jesus told His listeners “you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.”. He was rebuking the Pharisees and enlightening the people: legalism is not from God. The Pharisees had created laws and set standards that were impossible for the Jews to follow.
Most translations utilize other verbs. Practice is translated from the Greek “poieó” or “act” and “ legousin ” means “to say”, but possibly to “name” or “command.”. Versions of Matthew 23:3 include:
These rules were “heavy, cumbersome loads” placed on “other people's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.”.
The Message: They talk a good line, but they don’t live it. Amplified Bible: So practice and observe everything they tell you, but do not do as they do; for they preach [things], but do not practice them. HCSB: Therefore do whatever they tell you, and observe it.
Paul writes “While you preach against stealing, do you steal? You who say that one must not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? You who boast in the law dishonor God by breaking the law.” ( Romans 2:21-23)
