		<description><![CDATA[Our family recently attended a Sunday service at a vibrant young new church. We were surprised to find the church filled to capacity with many diverse college-aged men and women. The ratio of younger to older believers was inversely proportional to that commonly seen at many older churches.
Everything was fine until the young pastor began [...]

		<description><![CDATA[What's explains the 'ites' in the Bible?  The origin of so many words is fascinating.  And the more you understand the root words of Hebrew, and the origin of the Aleph-Bet the more amazing you'll find the stories in the Bible.

		<description><![CDATA[And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, &#8220;Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great [...]

		<description><![CDATA[John 15:1-8 is a troubling passage; many find the references to vines, branches and fruitfulness confusing and the implications frightful. Recently our pastor, Dave Gadoury, shared the key to understanding this passage, which requires knowing how grapes grow and vines are pruned.
Here&#8217;s the first four verses in the NIV:
&#8220;I am the true vine, and my [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I awoke with this crystal clear realization this morning.  (It seems obvious, but bear with me for a moment.)

		<description><![CDATA[Chanukah begins tonight, and I wish all my Jewish friends Happy Chanukah!
Several years ago, I had a little exchange with the Velveteen Rabbi.  Obviously our world-views clashed, (she&#8217;s socially liberal, I&#8217;m conservative&#8230; etc.) but it lead to some very interesting insights, which I share below. Please let me know what you think.
