		<description><![CDATA[Honestly, I think we view Christianity through a very tainted democratic lens. Unfortunately, this leaves us with the impression that we are in control of our destiny.

It’s like we want all the benefits of Christianity, but none of the responsibilities. We’re content to live in the Kingdom, without living for the Kingdom.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thoughtforchange.com&#038;blog=6495214&#038;post=15&#038;subd=thoughtforchange&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Normally, I would think twice before recommending a movie to a broad audience, but in this case I'll make an exception.Tonight, I went to see a movie called Blood Diamond. I was somewhat familiar with the basic premise of the movie, so I went into the movie w/ a certain expectation, but left blown away. I would even go as far to say it's one of the best movies I have ever seen! No Joke! Here's the trailer:blooddiamondmovie.com/

Anyway, the movie is based on true events and focuses on the concept of the injustice and oppression of some for the pleasure of others. This seems to be a recurring theme in history, the movie just gives it another face. Slavery for example, is an issue that has left a very deep stain on America.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thoughtforchange.com&#038;blog=6495214&#038;post=10&#038;subd=thoughtforchange&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
