Most parents have been known to say, "Do as I say, not as I do". What child needs that kind of example? What is that really saying to a child? On the other hand, Paul had it right. He said, "follow my example as I follow Christ". He said it in many different ways and he said it often.
Paul was not perfect, but he did seek to set the pace for those he was wanting to help. His attitudes, his thoughts, his words and his actions were all in line with his desire to please God. I believe this is how he was able to impact so many for the kingdom.
Live one life! Paul did. It is worth it.
