		<description><![CDATA[One of the most powerful truths we can embrace during this season is that God has spoken to us through His Son. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). God has made a way back home for us all, and the way is Jesus. Sometimes people wish that God would speak [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“The history of Advent teaches us a great deal about its meaning and prepares us to observe this time with reverence and understanding. This history reveals the simultaneous importance of both penitence and hope, of both remorse and rejoicing” (Robert E. Webber, Services of the Christian Year). &#160; Readings: Isaiah 11:1-10, Psalm 72:1-7, 18-19, Romans [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This morning I received a phone call from a very dear friend. We chatted about family, ministry, and life in general. We shared, for just a few minutes, some of our frustrations and joys, and then all too soon the conversation was over. I had not talked to Tug in a few months, but as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fathers have come to my office eager to talk about their sons or daughters who were far from God. Some of these men were suffering from attitude problems and made remarks like: “When he gets his life straightened out, he’ll be welcomed back home!” At such times, I often asked if they had readLuke 15.

In the wake of the heart-breaking devastation in Joplin I’ve been thinking about the insurance industry’s category for claims known as “acts of God.” That phrase has led me back to the Old Testament story [...]]]></description>

And it has been nearly 4 years since his release from all medical care related to his bout with Guillain-Barré. Caleb very seldom walks slowly these days. He mostly runs and jumps from place to place. To look at [...]]]></description>

I have found that most of the time people don’t want or need their theology adjusted while they are in the midst of pain and suffering. They need someone to walk [...]]]></description>
