		<title>Happy Easter from Ezra Pound</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ezra Pound was a famous poet but hardly a shining example of Christian living. So I was surprised to find this poem by him, thanks to John Eldridge of Ransomed Heart Ministries. I loved it and hope you will to.
Ballad of the Goodly Fere
by Ezra Pound
HA’ we lost the goodliest fere o’ all

		<title>Joy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m reading John Eldridge’s Walking with God. He’s making the point that what we want is our “happy little life.” That’s the bargain we make with God. I’ll follow God and He won’t let any bad thing happen to me. Well, this agreement doesn’t work in this world. Part of the reason is because the [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Heart Is Burdened</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My heart is so burdened for my non-Christian friends this morning, especially my pagan friends. Yep, I have a lot of those &#8212; pagans and/or Wiccans. I love them and am frankly afraid for them. Paganism and Wicca are not any worse than any other false religion but any false religion will get you eternal [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shiloh</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A warning to look to God and the peace of God: &#8220;&#8216;God said, &#8220;Because these people have rejected the quiet waters of Shiloh Brook and tremble before King Rezin and King Pekah, I, the Lord, will bring the emperor of Assyria and all his forces to attack Judah. They will advance like the flood waters [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Perfect Storm</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Come!&#8221; answered Jesus. So Peter got out of the boat and started walking on the water to Jesus. But when he noticed the strong wind, he was afraid and started to sink down in the water. &#8220;Save me, Lord!&#8221; he cried. At once Jesus reached out and grabbed hold of him and said, &#8220;What little [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hearing the Word</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

First and foremost God speaks to us through the Bible, his Word. Anytime we hear from him any other way — directly, through nature, in dreams and vision, through others — we must always put up those words against the Word. His sovereign will are revealed through the Bible and all of [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Road is Short (A Theology of Suffering)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m talking about a hard subject today – suffering. My church is suffering a recent spate of serious illnesses. That is not the only suffering on our congregation or in the world. The loss of husbands and children, the loss of children to certain lifestyles. Mental illness. Lifelong struggles against addiction to drugs, alcohol, food, [...]]]></description>

		<title>God Is Not Quiet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[God does not sulk around or let His children cry in the dark looking for Him. Is that what Love does? No it is not. What He does is ask us to listen for Him in a myriad ways. A flower reminds us of Him. We see Him in the faces of our Christian friends [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Seven Last Words of Christ</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The four gospels collectively report seven “words” (phrases) that Christ spoke from the cross. The words differ between the four gospels but this is neither surprising nor alarming: if you get four people to watch the same event, then you will get a general agreement on what happened but four different perspectives. God inspired human [...]]]></description>

		<title>Either Way, God Works</title>

 photo credit: JWNOWSIn Romans 4:17b Paul writes of Abraham, “He is our father in the sight of God in whom he believed – the God who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were.”
