					<description><![CDATA[There are so many good reasons to hate the book of Hosea, but today I want to tell you about my top three. I’m sure it doesn’t help that the last time I heard it preached was on Mother’s Day. Yes, you read that right–Mother’s Day. That may seem like an odd pastoral decision, but [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Christianity, it turns out, has never been interested in democracy. People used to tell me it is, and I’m sure those people are still out there, feeding the same old narratives to an ever-dwindling and increasingly rural audience. But no one who has been paying attention to what’s happening in America could still say that [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Maybe I spoke too soon. I previously said that Tim Keller was done trying to build a logical case for Christianity and had moved on to sermonizing, but the second-to-the-last chapter in his apologetics work The Reason for God presents his final shot at arguing for the legitimacy of the Christian faith. In Chapter 13, Keller [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[With only three more chapters to go in Tim Keller‘s The Reason for God, it appears the pastor of Redeemer Church in Manhattan has abandoned the central thesis of the book. Perhaps we came to this with unrealistic expectations, but halfway through the book Keller confesses he believes everyone really knows there is a God, then [&#8230;]]]></description>
