		<description><![CDATA[I am overwhelmed. No, this is not a statement with regard to time. It is not agreeing with the numbers in the throng who believe there is always more work at the end of their day, or more month at the end of their budget, or more need at the end of their ability to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The church of Thessalonica caused Paul the least distress of the many other churches he commenced during his missionary endeavors. Thessalonica was a sound Christ-abiding church that conducted itself ideally, even though they were a relatively young church. Amazingly, Paul preached only three consecutive Sabbaths in their Jewish synagogue, and many were persuaded to believe [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many trials, struggles and situations have occurred in our lives in which we have had absolutely no clue as to why God orchestrated them into our lives. Furthermore, we are unable to foresee things of the future, but God does. Like the prophet Habakkuk, there are times when we question God’s decisions. We wonder why [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Facts are clear regarding the case of Jesus’ resurrection. The chief priests and the Pharisees were determined that Jesus was going to stay in his grave. According to Matthew 27:64, they told Pilate of their concern that Christ’s disciples would “go and steal him away and tell the people, ‘He has risen from the dead,’ [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I reflected on the recent holiday season, I meditated on the person of Jesus Christ—God’s gift to us. I thought about His birth; His death and resurrection; and how God, by His merciful and loving grace, bestowed upon me the faith to believe in Him for salvation (Ephesians 2:8). And, that efficacious belief in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[2012. Wow, in some ways it is hard to believe we are all still around to see this change of the calendar! But, God’s grace has been sufficient with his mercies that never come to an end (Lamentations 3:22), and we are still pushing on. However, many seemed to be already feeling “behind” as the [...]]]></description>

If we receive an answer, we will accept it, even if the answer is unfavorable to our liking. At least we have an answer! But, when we are given two apparent contradictory answers and yet both are truthful, it’s [...]]]></description>

They looked up, and one nudged the other and said, “You couldn’t get me up in one of those things for a million dollars.” That’s how some people are about change, too. Granted, if we see change for the sake of change [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the last few months health issues have prohibited me from attending the worship service on a consistent basis. In fact, my attendance at all church functions has been sparse; and this has greatly saddened me. But, during this trial, God has mercifully lavished upon me bountiful grace, and for this reason, I consider myself [...]]]></description>
