		<title>Baseball&#8217;s Chief Geek Picks 2010 Winners</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From Fox News:
Derek Jeter, Albert Pujols and baseball&#8217;s other greats have barely  begun spring training, but a mathematician from New Jersey already knows  what kind of season they&#8217;ll have. And if you&#8217;re a Mets fan, never mind what Yogi Berra said. It&#8217;s over  and it ain&#8217;t even started yet. The Amazin&#8217; Mets [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thank You, Young Soldiers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why is it that often we do not realize what we have until it is gone or taken from us? I suspect one answer to this perplexing question is that it is a product of alienation that our sin and self-centeredness has caused, an alienation that often exists between God and us and between humans. I know that when I was a young man, I thought I had better things to do and think about other than my parents and their experiences. I simply didn't realize how impoverishing that was.]]></description>

		<title>From the Morning Scriptures</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here Paul talks about the essence and nature of Christian love, how believers should act toward one another. The specific context is whether believers should eat meat sacrificed to idols. But the general issue that Paul addresses here is what should believers do with their Christian freedom? As usual, Paul counsels us to look out for the other person before we seek to satisfy our own desires. ]]></description>

		<title>Augustine Reflects on How He Came to Know the Truth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think Augustine's experience is representative of many people's experience of coming to know God's truth. It certainly is of mine. As a young man, Augustine was obsessed with proving things empirically and refused to accept the validity of knowledge based on beliefs. But as he tells us here, God slowly and gently led him to the realization that a good deal of our knowledge is second hand, which perforce cannot be believed and appropriated without an act of faith. As he reminds us, we cannot even know directly about our parents' lives before we are born. We have to take them at their word when they tell us about themselves. The insight into this truth apparently laid the groundwork for his acceptance of God's truth contained in Scripture. May this help you in your own Lenten journey.]]></description>

They were too afraid to speak when they learned this was their brother whom they had tried to kill and ultimately sold into slavery! I imagine they were expecting the worst. They were expecting him to exact revenge on them for their evil deeds. But no! Joseph forgave and embraced him. He made their reconciliation possible. ]]></description>

Because they have seen or heard about his healing power and they want in on the benefits. They want him to heal them or their loved ones. I do not say this critically because who among us does not desire Jesus to touch and heal us of our sicknesses? But this is not ultimately the stuff that makes for a healthy relationship because it tends to be one way in nature, not bi-directional.]]></description>

Give thanks to the One who loves you and gave himself for you so that you might have a hope and chance to live with him by faith in this life and one day live directly in his Presence forever without being afraid. ]]></description>

		<title>&#8216;Extra Small&#8217; Condoms for 12-Year-Old Boys Go on Sale</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Come to think of it, I guess Christian sexual ethics are outdated, old-fashioned, and anachronistic if we think God is an anachronism and out of touch with his creatures. But if God is not an anachronism, and his teaching is timeless and true, then believers had best not let our critics shut us up or shame us into an unhealthy silence over this issue (and others). Instead, we had better become well versed in the Christian vision of marriage and sexuality and be able to articulate it plainly and compellingly. The future of our children is too important to sit idly by and wring our hands in despair. If God is real, and we Christians know he is, he will help us fight this fight. And let's not kid ourselves. If we join this fight it will be costly, and we will need all the help we can get. But love always is a costly thing, isn't it?]]></description>

But when we realize that we are watching the Father's great love for us being poured out on the cross, it makes the spectacle a bit easier to watch.

There is a special quality that is noticeable. They exhibit the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-25) that observant readers noticed I described above. When folks ask us about what is our secret, then we can enter the door God has opened for us to be his salt and light of the world. We can point others to Jesus, the true Light of the world, and tell them about this relationship we enjoy with the Living God. We can invite them to have the same kind of relationship so that they too can be in on our secret. ]]></description>
