		<description><![CDATA[We, as believers, have the privilege of being chosen by God. The theological term for this is election. But, what about those who are not believers? It doesn't seem right that God would choose some and not others. This is something I struggle with. 

Fortunately, it is not for us to worry about who is elected or not...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From the sermon I preached at Linden Alliance Church on July 3.

Have you ever thought to yourself, if only…? If only I could have a different job, or have more vacation time. Or maybe you can’t wait for things to be over with so you can move on. Maybe you are in high school or college and things will just be better once you are done school. Maybe your kids are at an age that makes life difficult and you think it will get better once they get out of this stage...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This morning at chapel, I was privileged to hear from a man who has been serving God faithfully in missions for many years. He had a question that spoke to me clearly and I spent some time reflecting on it during my devotion time. The question he asked is this: when the pressure is on, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the greatest failures of a Christian, I would suggest, is that we have poorly represented the deepest and most important truths that can be known by humanity. As Philip Yancey puts it in his forward to Chesterton&#8217;s Orthodoxy, Christian faith is not simply a &#8220;bulwark of civilization but rather an expression of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Tuesday at chapel I shared on the topic of prayer. This was my first &#8220;sermon&#8221; of sorts as the Spiritual Life Commissioner at Prairie. As I prepared I was reminded of Jeremiah&#8217;s words in response to God appointing him as a prophet. Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Before I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always had difficulty with this statement from Matthew 7 because I&#8217;ve asked God for many things and not received them. It&#8217;s one of those statements that you can&#8217;t really use without understanding more about what asking something from God should really look like. It should not merely be a request at a time of [...]]]></description>

Is it possible He uses the pain in our lives to bring us to a realization of our need for Him? Does God use, and even at [...]]]></description>

Christianity is the story of how the rightful king has landed, you might say landed in disguise, and is calling us all to take part in a great campaign of sabotage.&#8221; &#8211; C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity. If all Christians would take this idea seriously, and apply [...]]]></description>
