Tip 1: When you are copying and pasting, try to avoid copying and pasting the same chunk of text twice. Like you did with the text that starts with "Note: the bible is objected to laziness" and ends with "zealous in good works!." - that was not a god example on how to correctly copy and paste, because that is a long chunk of text and there is no reason for it to be repeated twice.
Tip 2: When you are copying and pasting, clean up superfluous punctuation marks. To use the same example as before, this: "zealous in good works!." is incorrect, because a sentence should end with only a single punctuation mark.
Tip 3: Here's a novel idea - instead of copying and pasting something that other people wrote, why not write your own text? Are we to think that you're merely an echo of other voices? When will we hear your own voice?
Tip 4: Whether you decide to stick to copying and pasting other people's texts (which would be weird), or start to write on your own, proofreading is the way to go. When you are composing, there is a "Preview Post" next to "Submit Post" button. Use the preview button to proofread what you wrote.
I hope these tips were helpful. As man's help meet (Genesis 2:18) I love being helpful.

Personally, I would add a fifth item to this very helpful list.
Tip 5: Do not write sermons while under the influence of intoxicants such as malt liquor, marijuana, crack cocaine, bath salts, "purple drank," PCP, paint thinner, or jenkem.
