Learning from Lance Armstrong

Definitely worth a look - Four Things Christians Can Learn From the Lance Armstrong Debacle  by Ed Stetzer. His list includes:

2. To fulfill our selfish desires, we often look for shortcuts.
3. The threat of being uncovered often cause us to dig a deeper hole.
4. Exposure is inevitable - now or in eternity.
