Hey everybody, welcome to your move where we help you make better decisions and live with fewer regrets.

I'm Andy Stanley and I'll be your guide.

Did you know that 75 million Americans identify as either atheist, agnostic, or not religious at all?

75 million.

And most of these folks are under 30 years old, your kids or maybe your grandkids age.

For many people, faith has just become, well, irrelevant. Christianity in particular. But it wasn't always that way. Once upon a time, the Christian faith was irresistible. The original version, the version depicted in the New Testament, well, it's still very much irresistible. And what did the original, the irresistible version look like, and what did it sound like?

Stick around and we'll talk about it today, right here on your move.

Today I want to begin with some words from Jesus.

And if you're not a particularly religious person, or you're not a Christian or maybe you used to be and you're kind of done with that,

you're going to like this. You're going to love this. In fact, if you're not a religious person and maybe you've had trouble with the church in the past,

you might like this too much. You might love this too much.

And honestly, these words from Jesus make me a little bit nervous because he was directing them

at the first century version of me, the first century version of what I do. He may have me in his

sights. And in this rant, I don't know anything else the way to call it, like a Jesus rant,

he actually coins a phrase that you have used before and you have quoted Jesus without knowing you were quoting Jesus. He originates this statement that honestly we use all the time. Referring to religious leaders, then I'm going to read the whole rant, not all of it, I'm going to read a bunch of it to you, but in the middle of it, he makes this, this comment. He says, do not do what they do. And then here it is. You wondered where this came from. You thought, this was, this is original with Jesus. Do not do what they do, talking about religious leaders. They do not practice what they preach. So if you've ever said, you're not practicing what you preach, or he doesn't practice what he preaches. That actually came from Jesus.

In the Greek text, it's shorter and pithier.

And I kind of love this when I looked it up.

I thought, this is what we should say.

Here's what it says in Greek.

For they say and do not.

Isn't that great?

Anyway, so Jesus had just finished going a round or two with the religious leaders.
