		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[I love strategic thinking and I love creativity. God made us creative beings and He gave us minds to to reason with. However, while I think we should think strategically and we should use our creativity to the glory of God, I think many 21st century Christians have a really inflated view about the importance [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just finished reading Humility: True Greatness by C.J. Mahaney. It is a short, but excellent book. It&#8217;s packed with good content and written in a simple conversational tone. Listen to what he writes on the topic of beginning your day acknowledging your need for God (an exercise in humility): I&#8217;ve learned to make statements to [...]]]></description>

As the story goes, his family had gone up from Nazareth to Jerusalem for a [...]]]></description>

He writes this fascinating passage in Antiquities 18.3.3: Now there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him man; for he was a doer of wonderful works, a teacher of such men as receive the truth [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When we think about &#8220;repentance&#8221;, I think most of us think of it as a duty, something that is good and necessary, but certainly not as a &#8220;privilege&#8221;. This year I am reading through the Bible in the New Living Translation. As I was reading Acts 11:18 really struck me. It is in the context [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are many people today who are skeptical toward the notion of absolute truth. They say things like, “that’s true for you, but not for me.” This attitude and perspective is generally called relativism.  This attitude is not always inappropriate.
