“Therefore, do and observe all things whatsoever they tell you, but do not follow their example. For they preach but they do not practice.”

—Matthew 23:1-12

Remember all the politicians during COVID who, after locking you down, were caught going out, dining, partying, celebrating, etc…?

Comply with “leaders” as you must (no one wants to go to jail).

But be very discerning in whose lead you follow.
