		<title>Don&#8217;t ask if it works, ask if it&#8217;s right.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was reading a relatively obscure story in Scripture today. Jeremiah 44 contains the narrative of the prophet Jeremiah in Egypt. He was there because he had traveled with the unfaithful remnant from Jerusalem so he could keep speaking God&#8217;s words to them. At one point he channeled God&#8217;s direct command to stop worshipping idols, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Curse the darkness or light a candle?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A church in Florida is burning some copies of the Koran in memory of 9/11 this Saturday and the whole world knows it. It’s not a large church by any stretch of the imagination. About fifty members who regularly engage in incendiary protest have finally discovered an action that will draw global press. If they [...]]]></description>

		<title>Giving Credit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We live in a culture where most of us are avid credit users. I have multiple little plastic cards in my wallet, each of which can be used to instantly purchase something that I need, or more often, that I just want. It&#8217;s a good idea to reconsider how we function in our credit-obsessed society, [...]]]></description>

		<title>the joy of work</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I hope you had a happy Labor Day! What did you do, yesterday? I took the day off and enjoyed it with family. There is plenty to do today, but yesterday, I stretched out the last unofficial day of summer, hung out with some of my favorite people, ate some of my favorite food&#8230;and spent [...]]]></description>

		<title>Critical</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is a huge difference between a critical spirit and critical thinking. A critical spirit will destroy you and others. It manifests in the kind of person who is petty, judgmental, and often bitter. It wants to tear other people down, regardless of their motivation. A person who is overly critical is frequently insecure, pessimistic [...]]]></description>

		<title>Back to School</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m teaching a course at a local college and I&#8217;m really enjoying it so far (well, it&#8217;s only been one day). I&#8217;ve got a class of 9 bright, upper-division students and we&#8217;re going to have a lot of fun as we are learning together. But as much as I&#8217;m thankful for the adjunct position (that [...]]]></description>

		<title>What&#8217;s Your Beanfield?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;The Philistines had mustered for battle at Lehi, where there was a field full of lentils. Israel fled before the Philistines, but Shammah took his stand at the center of the field, successfully defended it, and routed the Philistines. Another great victory for God!&#8221; (2 Samuel 23:11-12 The Message) I used to read this passage and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Heartbroken</title>
		<description><![CDATA[“Go throughout the city of Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of those who grieve and lament over all the detestable things that are done in it.” (Ez 9:4) When I think about Ezekiel&#8217;s time in Israel&#8217;s history, it reminds me of our Western culture today. In countless ways, we have become largely [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why I stopped following Jesus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This Sunday I told everyone at my church that I stopped following Jesus. Scandalous? Not really. You see there is this Twitter user who goes by the name “Jesus” and posts messages as if He were the Son of God. It was funny to follow him for a while, but I quickly realized that this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sending People Out</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you came to our church for very long, you would know we often say goodbye to people. One of the reasons we exist is to equip leaders for the Kingdom and then help them find places of service that are quite often not in our little family. And that means sending folks out. Sending [...]]]></description>
