What I would like to talk with you about is whether fair and affordable health care for everyone is something that followers of Christ should be concerned about.
Are we responding with the wisdom of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two passages of the Bible that are often used to emphasize the importance of Scripture may be doing something more.
Example One: When, after eating no food for 40 days,  Jesus resists Satan’s temptation to turn stones into bread, he quotes Moses as saying “Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One way to break down someone’s faith may be to quote Jesus’ promise that&#8230; the Father in heaven will give us any thing we ask in Jesus name (John 16:23).
Many of us have discovered the hard way that ending our prayers &#8220;in the name of Jesus&#8221; doesn&#8217;t necessarily make a difference in whether we get [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another combination of statements that could look like a contradiction shows up in the Sermon on the Mount.
First Jesus encourages his followers to “let their light shine before others” so that others can see the good that they do (Matt 5:16).
But then a few statements later the Teacher begins an extended emphasis in which he [...]]]></description>
