		<description><![CDATA[Intentional parenting involves asking deep, forward-looking questions about our mates, marriages and families. Will the person I am dating help me get to heaven? Will this person care for the spiritual life of our children? What difficult but deliberate choices will promote and safeguard the faith of our children? Intentional parents recognize both the duty to run the spiritual race, and the need to run it well.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The whole point of magic – or maybe that should be magick – is that there are hidden forces within nature that can be manipulated for good or evil. Don’t get this confused with magic used as a plot element in Lewis’ Narnia series or Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. And don’t get this confused with the stage magic used by entertainers who pull rabbits out of hats. To claim that magick is something more – that it is metaphysically real – is to deny the Biblical worldview.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Faith has a bad reputation, and it is our fault. By “our” I mean those of us who confess that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. In a terrible twist of irony, people of faith have turned faith into a dirty five-letter word. Not all of us have done this, of course, but enough of us to attract the attention of the wider world.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Atheists love the story of Prometheus. A closer reading shows they are both less like and more like Prometheus than they care to admit. They’re less like Prometheus  because at least the titan saved humanity from the wrath of Zeus. Atheists haven't saved anybody. And they’re more like Prometheus in that they need to offer a piece of deception along with their gift of all that counts as knowledge.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thomas Nelson – the world’s biggest religious publishing house – now belongs to the secular publishing house, HarperCollins.[1] If you look at the spine of your Bible, there’s a good chance you’ll see the Nelson name. One of Nelson’s titles, Heaven is for Real, is on the New York Times non-fiction bestseller list. On amazon.com, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For skeptics like Bart Ehrman, the key to undermining the Christian faith is to undermine the Christian text. After all, faith “comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” But what if we are not really hearing the word of Christ? What if we are really hearing the word of power-hungry men who conspired to give us their particular spin on the person and nature of Jesus Christ?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We know that the way to heaven is narrow and hard to find. We know what Jesus taught about the soils. Some attrition is to be expected among our young people, right? But then we have to remind ourselves that these are our kids growing in the soil of our congregations and our families. These are not the un-churched, hardboiled people of the world. So how can we slow the exodus?]]></description>
