		<description><![CDATA[This past weekend renowned author and theologian J.I. Packer was in town speaking at St. Peter’s Anglican Church. Dr. Packer has written over thirty books including the highly acclaimed book Knowing God. During the question and answer session one of the attendees asked “what is a &#8216;healthy church&#8217;?” I thought Packer&#8217;s response was  excellent, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently I went to a prayer meeting that involved leaders from a variety of different Christian collegiate ministries. In situations like these it&#8217;s interesting to observe how each group seems to have their own style of prayer. Some are more flamboyant and visibly emotional in their prayers; Some are more physically expressive choosing to physically [...]]]></description>

I think too frequently we Christians don&#8217;t experience true fellowship because they are too easily satisfied with [...]]]></description>
