		<description><![CDATA[I have found a person who engages in occasional drunkenness is far less damaging than the one who views himself more highly than he ought. It's the speck and the plank situation (Luke 6:42). This is not about being gracious with sinners (we are all sinners), it's about recognizing that condemnation of other peoples actions is hypocritical.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is "part 3" on the topic of obedience.

Here are some key acts of obedience I have found to be part of the sanctification process of a Christian. Some may call these christian or spiritual disciplines, which is fine, however my approach here is less about practicing disciplines and more about responding to life in general with a spirit of obedience to God.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a continuing thought on how obedience transforms us.

Every act of obedience to God brings us closer to who we were meant to be as God's created beings. We will only fully get there once we join God in his glory, but while we are on this earth we are meant to work toward becoming more and more like the people we are designed to be.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my preparation for the next sermon I am preaching on July 17, I am reading C.S. Lewis' The Weight of Glory. The quote below reminds us that our hope is in the glory of God, but we do not know that glory fully at once. Just like when we learn to write, we don't start immediately start writing poetry, or when we start talking we don't immediately start reciting Shakespeare, we don't experience the fullness of God's glory simply by believing in it...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a continuation of my last post on The Wisdom of Men and the Power of God.

I ended the last post with a question: will what I’m doing help in proclaiming Christ and him crucified? I would like to offer a few insights into how I know whether or not my work is proclaiming Christ.

How do I respond to success?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am not one to minimize the importance of education. This should be obvious by the fact that I am a Bible College student and will be an instructor next year. I believe God gave us each other so we could learn together. What I become concerned about is when Jesus Christ and him crucified is not at the center of our education and discussions about God...]]></description>

From the moment I stepped into the building I felt such a warm and welcoming love from the people there that reminded me of why I am pursuing pastoral ministry.
