		<title>The Future of Global Missions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Leadership Network’s Eric Swanson has identified Eight Trends That Will Shape the Future of Global Missions. They are:
1. Mutuality—The future of missions will be shaped by mutuality between East and West, North and South, sending and receiving nations. Churches worldwide are learning to come together.
2. Partnering—Different than mutuality, partnering pertains to projects that require the [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Rookie Year of Observing Lent</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lent.  The only thing I knew this word to mean for much of my life was the stuff tucked away safely in my belly button.  I had no idea that Lent was something that many Christians around the world observe every year around Easter.  When I got married, I lived in Milwaukee &#8211; a city [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is Your City As Stingy As Mine?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What&#8217;s your town known for?  Mine?  Well, Albuquerque is known for &#8211; among other things &#8211; its famous stretch of Route 66, having the longest passenger tram in the world, being voted the fittest city in the U.S. in 2007, the famous 1945 quote from Bugs Bunny when he said, &#8220;I should have made a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lyrics with a Punch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was working out yesterday, and a rather profound song came up on my iPod.  It&#8217;s a song by the now-defunct British band,The World Wide Message Tribe, from the mid 90&#8217;s. In light of all the death and destruction in the news recently, it kind of struck a cord with me. 
I&#8217;m not sure what [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reality Check Regarding Haiti</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love Tony Campolo.  Always have.  I know that there are some Christians who don&#8217;t share my love for him, but I love him because he not only preaches the true, radical gospel of Christ.  He lives it.  So, when he speaks, I listen.  Recently, I came across this article he wrote for the Huffington [...]]]></description>

		<title>Coincidence or Sovereignty?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My day job sometimes gets in the way of blogging, but it also provides some good blogging fodder from time to time.  Take for instance what happened to me and Michelle the other night.
God has called me to pastor the church I love.  One of our precious members suffered a stroke a couple days ago, [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m Back&#8230;and Contemplating Preaching in the Buff</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been away from the blogosphere for a while due to the wedding of my daughter and ALL (and I mean ALL!) that went along with it.  However, I&#8217;m slowly recovering from the ALL, and I thought I&#8217;d re-enter the blog world today with this intriguing (and somewhat disturbing) church story&#8230;
Have you heard about the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Father of the Bride</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My little corner of the blogosphere has been quiet lately, and for good reason.  My oldest daughter, Emily, is getting married this Sunday (February 14).  She is marrying a young man (Aarron Rogers) whom both Michelle and I approve of and like a lot.  Good thing, huh?!  I&#8217;ll be performing the majority of the ceremony.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Turning Our Temporal Possessions into Everlasting Wealth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m preaching a series on stress right now, and this Sunday, I&#8217;ll be talking about how to eliminate money as a stress-causer from our lives.  Not an easy task because as we all know, &#8220;Money makes the world go &#8217;round.&#8221;  In my studies yesterday, I came across this powerful quote about money from A.W. Tozer, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Forgive Ted Haggard? Are You Kidding Me?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every once in a while, a story of forgiveness comes along that causes you to pause and take note.  An article in today&#8217;s Denver Post did just that to me.  It&#8217;s an article about a book written by Gayle Haggard called, Why I Stayed: The Choices I Made in My Darkest Hour. Gayle is the [...]]]></description>
