		<title>Exercising freedom, part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Chew on this one:
If we insist that we need laws or rules to keep us from doing the wrong thing and make us do the right thing, then&#8230;
we are really saying that Jesus&#8217; love for us is not powerful enough to keep us from doing the wrong thing and make us do the right thing.
&#8220;We [...]]]></description>

		<title>Exercising freedom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tonight in Gospel Transformation, we got into some sinking sand as we discussed the implications of not returning to law and experiencing freedom in Christ.
Wednesday night attendance was our example.
Suppose we take seriously the freedom we have in Christ. Let’s also suppose we choose to exercise our freedom by not coming on Wednesday night (this [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Culture of Openness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The discussion in Gospel Transformation last night turned to creating a culture of openness in our church family. We talked about trusting in the gospel so much that people could share stories of sin &#38; struggle and stories of God&#8217;s work in their lives without fear of judgment and with full conviction that they would [...]]]></description>

		<title>Roller Coaster Marriage News</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had intended to post on the day I heard the sad news of Al &#38; Tipper Gore&#8217;s separation. You can read an informative article about a sad trend called &#8217;silver divorce&#8217; here. When I think of Al &#38; Tipper while they were on the national scene, I remember a charming couple, having fun and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Split-Second Understanding?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We make split-second perceptions all the time. In fact, we just cannot help making snap judgments about the people and places we meet. For an in-depth exploration of this check out Malcolm Gladwell&#8217;s Blink!.

It&#8217;s no use trying to stop this, but it is very important that we try to evaluate them. Often our perceptions about [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Single Road</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet
And whither then? I cannot say. &#8211; J.R.R. Tolkien
I&#8217;m in a love/hate relationship with options. I love [...]]]></description>

		<title>More Spiritual</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I keep hearing comments about us needing to be more spiritual or grow spiritually. I think I know what people mean by that. No, I take that back, what do we mean by that? Do we intend to go through each day in a trance with God telling us every move to make? That&#8217;s not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Faint of heart</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t kept up with the news about Haiti or the Nashville flood. I have seen a lot of stuff on Facebook &#38; Twiiter about both. It is all very encouraging to see the good reports of churches responding in the ways they are. I must confess, though, that I mostly want to retreat as [...]]]></description>
