		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m traveling today to Jerusalem to work with our Day of Discovery team on a new series of &#8220;land of the Bible&#8221; programs. As I prepare to leave I&#8217;m reminded of some thoughts I had after returning from a similar assignment a couple of years ago.
What I wrote is a bit long for a daily [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What if the Bible told the story of a God who was all-knowing and all-powerful&#8211;but who could feel nothing? In a relationship with such a God, I&#8217;m thinking a conversation might go something like this:
&#8220;Hello, God&#8230; It&#8217;s me again&#8230; I need to talk to you about some things that have been on my mind.

		<description><![CDATA[When we talk among ourselves about  miracles, gifts of the Spirit, or the covenants of God, some of us are apt to remind the others that, according to the Bible, God does not&#8211; and cannot change. Others are likely to point out that, over time, the God of the Bible has changed the ways [...]]]></description>

Shared the program with a criminal court judge, an abuse advocate, and a professional counselor. The advocate and counselor had heartbreaking personal stories of their own that they&#8217;ve had to deal with. [...]]]></description>

Instead he gradually leads us to conclude that only when we have exhausted the limits of our own reason can [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes I feel like life must be a dream. The sheer thought of existing, and thinking, and communicating overwhelms me. Sometimes, though, these thoughts feel like they could push me over the edge. Let me give you an example&#8230;
Where did God come from?
Could a creator who made the earth out of nothing come from nowhere? [...]]]></description>

So here&#8217;s what I&#8217;m thinking. See if you agree. If our best examples of faith have lived with the pain of unanswered prayer, would our worst case scenario be to live [...]]]></description>
