		<title>Faith &amp; Works</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is an exchange I had a while back that I thought may of interest to some. It was a good in house discussion on the relationship between faith (belief or doctrine) and works. My comments are in black
I want to say much, but it all boils down to my belief that Love does, indeed, [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Pattern of Prayer in Scripture</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever noticed what prayers look like in scripture? There are  prayers of women that they may have children. There are prayers for  deliverance from some danger. There are prayers for blessings and  prayers for cursing. But while there are prayers for many different  things, there are some prayers that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Top 10 Delusions &#8211; Part 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently came across a top ten list from an atheist who has been very vocal against Christianity. I thought there may be some worth in giving a brief response to the supposed delusions that Christians have. I&#8217;ll include his text in full over the next few posts in this series. His points are short [...]]]></description>

		<title>Remembering Christ</title>
		<description><![CDATA[His Person
The Lord&#8217;s Supper is a time of remembrance. I fear  that we do not remember as we ought. So often we partake of the elements with almost no thought given to who Jesus is and what he did. It is a part of our service, but it is not a reflective part of [...]]]></description>

		<title>That Tricky Tetragrammaton</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I am continuing my interaction with the July issue of The Watchtower magazine. In my last post I made the point that the name of God should be considered much more broadly. It is not limited to the vocalization of YHWH, rather when we speak of the name of God we mean the whole of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Baptism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Acknowledgment of Guilt &#38; Judgment
1 Peter 3:20-21 they  formerly did not obey, when God&#8217;s patience waited in the days of Noah,  while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight  persons, were brought safely through water. 21 Baptism, which  corresponds to this, now saves you, not as [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Rose by Any Other Name&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The latest edition of the Watchtower addresses itself to the topic of the name Jehovah. They make some good points but I think there is a lot of misinformation in the article. There is some equivocation that occurs at several points. It is true that God gave to Moses his name as YHWH (in Hebrew). [...]]]></description>

		<title>Piper on Expositional Preaching</title>
		<description><![CDATA[God did not ordain the cross of Christ or create the lake of fire in  order to communicate the insignificance of belittling his glory. The  death of the Son of God and the damnation of unrepentant human beings  are the loudest shouts under heaven that God is infinitely holy, and sin  [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Importance of Doctrine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The term &#8220;doctrine&#8221; comes from the Greek word didache which means  &#8220;teaching.&#8221; Doctrine is a set of teachings, or a set of beliefs. Now we  all have a set of beliefs, that cannot be helped. We all have doctrine;  the question is what kind of doctrine do we have? Is is good [...]]]></description>

		<title>Worship Style</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What style of worship should we do? This is where the  worship wars have been fought. Do you do traditional worship or  contemporary worship? I like what Michael Horton has to say about style:
I  resist the labels “traditional worship” and “contemporary worship.”  Both terms imply that our worship debates are over [...]]]></description>
