			<description><![CDATA[Hypnosis and yoga are a couple of mystical practices which have basically gone mainstream in America today.

			<description><![CDATA[Memorial Day is a time to remember those who have fallen in the service of their country. I have a message for those who remain. We soldiers tend to imprison ourselves after combat with anger, violence, an inability to connect with others and difficulty forgiving – others ... and ourselves.  I know where you're at, brother, because I was there.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Childhood camping experiences taught me you don't want green wood when you're starting a fire. It creates too much smoke.

			<description><![CDATA[We've all seen the statistics and heard the stories: Good Christian kids go to college, grow disillusioned, and leave the faith.

			<description><![CDATA[A well-known television host did a story recently about a judge who is attempting to reduce the 10 Commandments down to 6 Commandments.

			<description><![CDATA[After the Sunday morning service he asked if he could make an appointment with me. I thought he had been touched by my sermon and wanted help in applying the truths to the details of his everyday life. What he actually wanted to do was to tell me how bad — "painful" is what he actually said — my sermons were. He also said he was speaking for others who felt the same way. I was hurt, of course, but I went about preparing as I had the week before.]]></description>
