Athletes who have used (still use) PEDs ought to be shamed. Nevertheless, I was impressed to see this picture of Mark McGuire kissing the ring of Pope John Paul II with a rosary hung around his neck. It would be better for his soul if he were more vocal about using these drugs, but there are far worse sins that the American public celebrates with diabolic audacity. Here is a very good entry on true sorrow for sin (not the euphemism false repentants call “my mistakes” by Kevin O’Brien on his blog, “Waiting for Godot to Leave” — whatever that means.
What is one of the primary functions of the Holy Spirit?
And when He is come, He will convince the world of sin, and of justice, and of judgment. –John 16:8
Earlier today I wrote of Sin and Sunshine, of the strange sensation of having light shine upon our darkness, of meditating upon sin and corruption in a place of beauty and delight. This conviction of sin, this light from the Holy Spirit that shines upon our dark and secret places, this reminder that
Nothing is hidden that won’t be exposed. Nor is anything concealed that won’t be made known and brought to the light. – Luke 8:17
is rather disturbing, as well it should be.
