The student body at Penn State, although more diverse than years ago, is still a predominantly white Christian student body. It has one of the most robust CRU (formerly known as CCC) chapters in the country.<br /><br />When we study the roots of “rioting,” better described as “ righteous uprising,” it can invariably be traced to poverty, discrimination, prejudice, and police brutality. At Penn State we see pure unrighteous “rioting” over the firing of an individual who failed miserably to protect our youth.<br /><br />Jesus’ life was spent on protecting, standing up for, and helping the poor, defenseless, and weak.<br /><br />Perhaps, just perhaps, many of the Christians in those rioting crowds were more concerned with pornography, premarital sex, homosexuality, and banning birth control, than they were with the victims that Jesus would have been concerned with.<br /><br />When a follower of your site Walt, can honestly believe that there is nothing “inherently wrong” with hoarding wealth, according to the Bible, but in no uncertain terms realizes the purported inherent evils of pornography, premarital sex, homosexuality, and banning birth control, perhaps we should give stronger discussion of those topics that Jesus actually taught and is quoted on, instead of those He never once mentioned.Jim and Diane Ruehlingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1735040292604331611.post-48115004415333351952011-11-11T10:21:24.929-05:002011-11-11T10:21:24.929-05:00"There's a COMPETING CULTURAL SEXUAL ETHI..."There's a COMPETING CULTURAL SEXUAL ETHIC that continues to evolve. . . convincing them THAT ANYTHING GOES."<br /><br />My sincere apology Walt.

Couldn't help but notice what shared the front page of the newspaper to the right... seriously... thats two bad things in one day that should never have to be front page news... <br /><br />I blogged to youth pastors today on how to avoid this mess if they are in a ministry position and this same scenario happens to them. http://engagingtheshadowsofyouthministry.com/?p=1068<br /><br />Thanks for your blog Walt.Matt Mhttp://engagingtheshadowsofyouthminsitry.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1735040292604331611.post-12125277000044675292011-11-10T14:59:36.159-05:002011-11-10T14:59:36.159-05:00Thanks for telling your story some.

I fully expect that Paterno will use his influence to educate people on child safety.adam mclanehttp://adammclane.comnoreply@blogger.com
