		<title>A Disturbing Image</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The other day I was in Cleveland, OH on business.  As we entered the downtown area in our taxi we were confronted with a large billboard with a disturbing image.  One of Nike&#8217;s hot endorsement deals is with LeBron James, the star player for the NBA&#8217;s Cleveland Cavaliers.  This billboard is a celebration of LeBron&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Subjects of King Christ</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This past January I began studies toward a Master of Arts in Theological Studies.  This semester I am taking a systematic theology course on the doctrines of Man, Christ and Redemption.  As a part of our course work, we post to a discussion forum each week on a question set by the professor. [...]]]></description>

		<title>I am an alien</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Although I&#8217;ve intellectually grasped the idea that we as Christians are alien to this world we inhabit, the past few days have unexpectedly brought that reality home to me.  The inauguration of President Obama has brought with it a great deal of talk about new hope and optimism.  He is a new, fresh [...]]]></description>

		<title>What are we and why are we here?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m referring to us &#8220;the Church.&#8221;  There are lots of people across the whole spectrum of our culture asking these kinds of questions&#8230;including me.  The Anglicans, and others, are struggling with big issues like &#8220;Can we be a Biblical church and include homosexuals as priests, bishops, and in other leadership roles?&#8221;  The Willow Creek Church [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Inconvenient Truth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have not seen Al Gore&#8217;s movie &#8220;An Inconvenient Truth,&#8221; but I have heard much about it.  In my profession as a architect, sustainable design is one of the key issues of the day, and there are those who are passionate about sustainability mainly because they are fully bought in to the reality of [...]]]></description>

		<title>What Would Jesus Really Do</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I finally watched a program I had recorded Easter weekend from CNN entitled “What Would Jesus Really Do?”  The host, Roland Martin, is a commentary contributor to CNN.  This program was advertised as a discussion of how Jesus would respond to a series of contemporary issues in our society.  The guest list [...]]]></description>

		<title>Can Community Exist Virtually?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Community Group I lead has been studying the book of Ephesians these past few months.  One of its main themes is what the church ought to be like, so I&#8217;ve been doing a bit of thinking about that as I prepare for our sessions.  Along side this, I&#8217;m a regular listener to [...]]]></description>

		<title>A New Site</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Finally, after about five years of talking and thinking about it, LetMyPeopleRead.org has been launched.  This site is about encouraging Christians and those considering Christianity to think and read as God desirees us to do.  We will have suggested reading lists (one of these is already posted), movie reviews, book reviews, articles to [...]]]></description>

		<title>The &quot;Worship Experience&quot;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Driving home from a meeting one night recently I heard an advertisement on one of our local Christian music stations that used a phrase I had heard many times, but that had never stuck out to me.  The ad was placed by a mega-church in our area looking for musicians and worship leaders to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thoughts About Work</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Work.  Something we all do.  We spend the majority of our lives engaged in it, yet we think so little about why we are doing it and how we should be doing it.  In the essay &#8220;Why Work?&#8221; Dorothy Sayers raises both of these questions for us.
I&#8217;ve been doing a lot of [...]]]></description>
