		<title>Thoughts on the Trinity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the most common objections to the concept of the Trinity is the argument that the idea is invalid because the word is not found in the Bible.

		<title>Marshmallow words</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you are going to be accepted or popular in the American culture, you need to become skilled at using marshmallow words. These are words that never have an edge to them or any sharp angles. They are words that do not make contrasts or clear comparisons. Marshmallow words are soft, pliable, and inoffensive. They [...]]]></description>

		<title>Of silver and gold</title>
		<description><![CDATA[These days it&#8217;s impossible to watch television or listen to the radio without running into commercials for gold and silver. These precious metals are portrayed as insurance against hard financial times. If we possess them, we are told, we can sleep well at night. They will deliver us from economic peril. They will rescue us [...]]]></description>

		<title>A voice in tough times</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cultures cannot thrive when they ignore God. Neither can individuals. Survivors of the Jewish nation sat in the capital of a foreign country, enslaved by foreigners. Everywhere they turned they were reminded of the massive loss that marked their days since the conquest of their nation. It was about 593 B.C. The Babylonians and Medes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Creating perfection</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You and I live in a time when people in power pretend that they can create a state of perfection if they are given enough authority and control over the dimensions of human life. For the past week much has been written about the discovery of Salmonella bacteria in eggs. Once again, government regulators are [...]]]></description>

		<title>The problem with premises</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Culture shapes our thinking more than we may admit. It works in invisible ways to reshape the categories of our thought in ways that we cannot see. What we consider to be normal and obvious is sometimes a premise that is arbitrary. For example, before Copernicus, most people subscribed to early Greek throught that considered [...]]]></description>

		<title>On good leaders</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The nonstop world of television and radio news gives the public thousands of words an hour assessing the people who serve as leaders—in fields from politics to business to sports to entertainment.

		<title>What kind of deal?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What incentive would it take for someone to persuade you to dress in weird clothing, yell and scream like an idiot, and be seen by millions of people at the same time? For some, all it takes is the possibility of some loot—anything from an assortment of towels to a vacation to a mystery place. [...]]]></description>

		<title>An old word revisited</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The other day the growth group I&#8217;m part of examined the qualities that Galatians 5:19-21 describe as the &#8220;acts of the sinful nature.&#8221; This text is a catalogue of consequences that flow from our rebellion against God. It describes the kinds of moral compromise we descend to when we live our lives indifferent to God [...]]]></description>
