Yo, I got served!

I have finally got myself on a fairly consistent reading schedule, now. And, I'll tell you what--Its challenging! Not just reading daily, remembering, getting the routine..but when you do read everyday, you really get challenged.
I just started Romans, and we know how encouraging it starts. Then Paul starts in on God's wrath, and how we generally give up the good for the bad all by oursleves: "They exchanged the truth of God for a lie.." (Rom 1:25). In chapter 2 God's judgment is dicscussed. This is where it gets hard. He sets us up by talking about the Jews and the Law, gentiles and the law they are unto themselves because of their consciences and then he convicted me. I got served.

"You who teach others, do you not teach yourselves?"

"You who preach against stealing, do you steal?
You who brag about the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?
As it is written: 'God's name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.' " (Rom 2:21,23,24)
You who preach against __________, do you _________ ?

You who teach others, do you not teach yourselves?
