		<description><![CDATA[I am sort of a weird guy. I prefer the term quirky, but semantics aside, I am weird. My interests are not typical (or maybe I should say that they are not stereotypical) of your run-of-the-mill guy. I remember sensing that I was different at about age 5. In many ways, my early years were spent feeling odd and yearning for friends and some sort of acceptance.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“God is love.” This statement, which is indeed Biblical, constituted a friend’s rationalization for his decision to leave his family and pursue a life defined by both direct sinful behavior and a general pursuit of what he claimed made him happy and satisfied in life. “I believe God loves all His children,” he told me. I had to agree with him, but as I mulled over his comments to me I realized that for my friend, ‘love’ meant that God cared nothing about his behavior or how he lived his life. To him, God was a sentimental entity whose whole purpose was my friend’s happiness. His view of God’s love had little to do with his welfare, safety or security. His loving ‘god’ was content to offer sentimental platitudes while my friend walked in a way of destructive behavior ripe with potential negative consequences. My friend confused love with enabling ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why Easter Matters &#8211; Mike Goeke “If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, and your faith is also vain. If Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins.” Paul’s words in I Cor. 15 are powerful. Sometimes we look at Easter and the resurrection [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m on a personal mission to wipe away the image that I call “children’s Bible Jesus.” I call it that because my first memory of this image graced the pages of my illustrated children’s Bible, but it is a familiar image culturally and worldwide. Children’s Bible Jesus is that image of Jesus showing a handsome [...]]]></description>
