		<description><![CDATA[Because I know I&#8217;ll get a lot of questions about it, I&#8217;m watching this miniseries &#8220;The Bible&#8221; on the History Channel.  The fact that History Channel is airing should raise alarms to start with because they never miss a chance to discredit the Bible and Christianity. Like usual, Christians are lunging like starving beggars at the scraps Hollywood tosses our way, starting Bible studies and discussion groups based on this mini series. Hey, I have a novel idea&#8230; why not start a Bible based on studying&#8230;. here it comes&#8230; THE BIBLE?  Every time some &#8220;Christian&#8221; fad sweeps through America &#8211; Prayer of Jabez, The Message, The Shack and a long slew of things &#8211; we jump on board with little to no DISCERNMENT. I already [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Below is a letter from an imprisoned Christian Pastor in Iran. While we grumble about the coffee quality in Sunday school, the music in the worship service or the Pastor&#8217;s sermon, much of Christianity around the world is suffering for their faith. I don&#8217;t really go for the &#8220;guilt trip&#8221; stuff, and that is not what this is meant to be. Call it a &#8220;perspective adjustment&#8221;.  If you were in prison being tortured, humiliated and pressured for simply being a Christian, how much would these other things matter that seem to bother us so much about Church or other Christians?  If you were the spouse of a Christian jailed and persecuted, what would really matter to you? Would you respond like the letter below? Would [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In light of my last sermon on music in worship, and given my old fashioned, old fogey, archaic belief that music and worship should be about God, and not about us&#8230; that it should be deep and not trivial&#8230; I thought it only fair to give a chance for both viewpoints to be presented. So here&#8217;s a couple of videos that present a more modern approach to worship and music: PS: WHAT ARE YOUR QUESTIONS FOR ME? Ask here.
