		<title>Self-Absorbed or Self-Forgetful?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[“What’s that in your pocket?” The TSA officer looked sternly at me.
“My wallet.”
“Take it out and show it to me.”
I comply.
“There’s still something in that pocket!”
“Oh, yes – it’s a granola bar.” I pull out my Quaker Chewy Low Fat Chocolate Chunk granola bar, unopened, and hold it up.
She glares at me. “You’ll have to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Should Christians Be Indifferent?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the conclusion of Sunday’s sermon, I said, “Long for God to use you for His glory. Be confident that He will. But be indifferent to whether He uses you through pain and sorrow, or through success and fame.&#8221;
In my notes, I set off the word “indifferent,” and put a question mark next to it. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Responding to Disasters</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Port-au-Prince, Haiti, is devastated. Thousands and thousands of buildings have collapsed. Tens of thousands are dead. Thousands more are injured and doomed to die, as hospitals too are destroyed and the needs outstrip the remaining medical care.
How can we respond to such a tragedy?
The Bible is our guide in all matters. In His Word, God [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Food is to Do His Will: Nimeshiba</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What do you say after eating a wonderful meal?
Imagine that you have just shared good fellowship and excellent food. You have eaten to contentment; you are full, satisfied but not bloated. What do you say?
You could say, “Wow, that was great.” Or, “Oh, what a wonderful meal!” Or, “My stomach feels just right.” But none [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Woman Who Fears the Lord</title>
		<description><![CDATA[December 29 is our thirtieth wedding anniversary. God has blessed me beyond measure through Beth &#8211; and more and more with each succeeding year. In honor of this event, consider these excerpts from Proverbs 31.  I preached on this passage three years ago under the title &#8220;The Valiant Wife&#8221; (audio is here); an edited version [...]]]></description>

		<title>Christmas and Anticipation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Seasonal music on the radio. Lights on houses (sometimes beautiful, often garish). Long back-ups at the McAdenville exit. “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas” in this “Most Wonderful Time of the Year.”
What are you looking forward to this season?

		<title>Pain and Discipline</title>
		<description><![CDATA[[Last Sunday's sermon looked in part at Hebrews 12:3-11, which compares the discipline and training that God brings in to our lives to a father disciplining his children. I see in those verses an implicit dialogue with a reader who keeps raising objections to the idea. Here is an expanded paraphrase of those verses, trying [...]]]></description>

		<title>When God says No</title>
		<description><![CDATA[[This devotion is taken from last Sunday's sermon. The audio for the entire sermon is available here.]
How do you react when God answers “No&#8221; to your prayers?
We are tempted to think of ourselves as potential worshipers of different religions, and thus of different gods. These different gods, are almost like presidential candidates vying for our [...]]]></description>
