		<description><![CDATA[For the past couple months a theme keeps repeating in my life: Live expectantly and you will see God work in your life. It was the topic of a sermon at church around Christmas time. It has come up in several sermons I&#8217;ve heard on Bott Radio. Different people in my life have said essentially [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This last Sunday at church, one of the speakers made comment about a verse, Matthew 4:4, we&#8217;ve all heard in some form or another. The setting is this:
Jesus is fasting for forty days in the desert. Obviously he&#8217;s hungry. Satan tempts Jesus to prove his divinity by changing some rocks into bread.
Jesus answered, &#8220;It is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In honor of Valentines Day week, we wanted to do a re-post from something written last year. One of the ultimate proofs of love from the Bible&#8230;
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. &#8211; 1 Peter 4:8 (NIV)
That is one of my favorite verses in the Bible. It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before I was a Christian, I saw Abel&#8217;s sacrifice of livestock more pleasing to God than Cain&#8217;s grain as God taking favoritism on Abel. It wasn&#8217;t until much later that I realized that it was shown to me that it was only because Abel gave his choicest animal (showing real sacrifice) rather than Cain&#8217;s offering [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, as I sat in church, I thought over my family&#8217;s 2008 church experiences. In the beginning of the year, Marc and I were having a difficult time in the church we&#8217;d been a part of for 4 1/2 years. In April, we finally got the courage to discuss our concerns with church leadership. When [...]]]></description>

As a child, that seemed backwards to me. I was told to pray and God would [...]]]></description>

Then, when someone stands up for Jesus, she argues a little, and finally says, &#8220;I can&#8217;t get into a religious argument with you.&#8221; The clip bothered me, because she was trying [...]]]></description>

Things did not go as planned. We had some good prayer and Bible time. We had some great family moments. But, [...]]]></description>

And yet, so often the thoughts of the &#8220;freethinkers&#8221; are just adaptations of a million different things we&#8217;ve heard a million other places for years.
&#8220;Freethinkers&#8221; often criticize people with religious beliefs saying we just believe [...]]]></description>
