		<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>

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>

It is especially humorous to me as I know that it was the first thing in my mind—again today—as I sat [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two caterpillars were crawling across the grass when a butterfly flew over them. 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>

In chapter 16, as Paul arrives in Lystra and Derbe, he meets a young disciple of Christ [...]]]></description>

They had followed a false prophet by the name of Harold Camping who said Jesus would rapture “true believers” (Camping doesn’t like the word “church”) out of the world [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When Pastor Pauley taught recently from Acts 15:36-41, I found myself contemplating the significance of those passages, even as he thoroughly covered the text. In it we read that a “sharp” disagreement arose between the Apostle Paul and Barnabas regarding bringing along John Mark on their second missionary journey. Paul didn’t want to bring Mark [...]]]></description>
