		<description><![CDATA[    After a recent Sunday service in which I spoke about the character of God we see in the story of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, a regular attender asked me if there was room for a universalist in our church.

		<description><![CDATA[Today, I read 1 Corinthians 8. You may want to refresh yourself. Paul is telling the more mature Corinthian believers to be sensitive to the less mature ones when it comes to having the freedom to eat meat which has been served at a pagan temple of a non-existent god.
Here&#8217;s a thought for this Thanksgiving [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We celebrated communion in our service this past Sunday. While the believers were going to the front to receive the bread and the juice from our elders, I gave an invitation to anyone who could not confess Christ as their forgiver to talk to me about it. I had a woman respond. We met in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most Christians love missionaries; we love missions; we&#8217;re even willing to financially support missions. Unfortunately, we love missionaries, but we don&#8217;t really want to be like them. If we did, our churches would look less like what we want and more like what God would want as we adapt to reach people  in the [...]]]></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.
