Take out a piece of paper. Write down every detail that you can about the current Penn State 'scandal'. Every quote, fact, name etc. Did you do it?

Sobering question I asked myself
Take out a piece of paper. Write down every detail that you can about the current Penn State 'scandal'. Every quote, fact, name etc. Did you do it?
Which list is longer?

I guess it's really the answer that is sobering . . . My list for Penn State is longer. I could have guessed at some more stuff, but if I write down what I really know, Penn St. wins.
"What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death?"
"Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!"
Romans 7 has never felt so real.
This is why I need you my brothers. Romans 7 is real, sin is still living in me. "So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature a slave to the law of sin." Only God can ultimately defeat my sinful nature, and the amazing news is that he has already done it!
I need you brothers to help me make sure I feed the right wolf (reference to post on Oct 21).
For me (not a sports buff) the answer is different but I could insert 10 other things to make the same point in my own life. What are my priorities? Where is my heart, really? I think it comes back to the last post.... Apart from God we can do nothing. I need you men in my life as well. I can feel my sinful nature daily. We need to be praying for and challenging each other to stay close to God. I know that this verse is used often but Proverbs 27:17 says that iron sharpens iron as one man sharpens another.... I am expecting sparks to fly!
What's happening at Penn State?
No... don't tell me.
Tell me a story from John.
