		<description><![CDATA[If you ever watch a movie or television show that features a church scene, there are some things you pick up on. They are things I don&#8217;t think I would have picked up on before I became a Christian.
What are these things? Read on; I&#8217;ll get to them a little later.
But, I noticed a lot [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last Sunday in church our minister did a sermon called &#8220;Work of Art.&#8221; He talked about how God, the Creator, was the ultimate artist. As we sat listening, Marc immediately looked up in Genesis the story of the creation of the Earth. (On the first day God created&#8230;) Then he looked at me and said, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A person at a church we used to go to sometimes made comment that her ex-husband was into martial arts. She also said martial arts (I think mainly Oriental) were deeply satanic.
I know&#8230;it sounds really silly.
Here&#8217;s my confession: I actually bought into it.
It was my first church as a new Christian, so I trusted the [...]]]></description>

Here is a video with Nancy Pelosi talking about why these family planning services are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My brother in law sent me a link to this video:

His initial comments were about celebrities thinking just because they are celebrities, they&#8217;re qualified to dictate our actions and morals.
If you look a little deeper, but not too deep (these are pretty shallow people, even though they&#8217;re &#8220;involved&#8221;), you will find the biggest load of [...]]]></description>

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>

It doesn&#8217;t make a definite point and have specific verses one could point to in order to live a better life closer to God. It&#8217;s poetry. Actually, it&#8217;s a very beautiful poem.
Imagine my surprise when I [...]]]></description>

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>
