Preachers hold a sacred trust and they must strive to honor it. “He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.” (1 John 2:10) “But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.” (1 Corinthians 9:27)
