		<description><![CDATA[When life crashes, you are laid off from work, spouses spat, rebellious children harbor grudges-it is hard to live by faith. But there is nothing else to live by. All the wisdom of the ages cannot fix the problems we struggle with. No matter how many times someone might watch Oprah, talk to someone like [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear church leaders,
Leadership is not so much your ability to influence others, as it is that others notice the influence of God&#8217;s Word and Spirit on you. It is not so much that you are able to get others to follow you, as it is that it is obvious others know who you are following.

When some of the &#8220;intellectual&#8221; young pastors tried to bring a &#8220;new gospel&#8221; into the Methodist movement, Chadwick opposed them. &#8220;Go down to the South Yorkshire coalfields and try your new gospel,&#8221; he cried out at the conference, &#8220;and see what it will do.
