		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Shout for joy, O barren one, you who have borne no child; Break forth into joyful shouting and cray aloud, you who have not travailed; for the sons of the desolate one will be more numerous than the sons of the married woman, says the Lord.
Enlarge the place of your tent; stretch out the curtains [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. John 17:3
What is eternal life?  Some would say it means living forever.  While that is true Jesus defines eternal life as knowing God.  Us knowing God is at His very heart.  Jesus did not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Now therefore, it was not you who sent me here but God&#8230;&#8221; Genesis 45:8
When bad things happen in our lives it can be difficult to wrap our hands around the fact that God is with us.  That is why I enjoy the story of Joseph.  In that story there is a beautiful illustration and picture of the greatness [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are those who practice righteousness and those who practice sin. Which category are you in? Those who practice righteousness are God&#8217;s children. On the contrast, those who practice sin are of the devil. There is no in-between. Those who practice righteousness have been born from above. Meaning they have obeyed God by believing in [...]]]></description>

The author writes, &#8220;let us run with perseverance.&#8221; That doesn&#8217;t sound like an motionless faith does it?  Our faith as believers has to be ever growing.  If our Christian life can be summed up by simply going once or twice a week to listen to a pastor teach [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Be it a mighty mountain
Or the darkest tempest
There is no stopping my God!
It&#8217;s a work He will do.
When our God speaks
Not even death itself can contain me.
Our God is truly faithful.

Be persuaded, timid soul, that He has loved you too much to cease loving you.  Archbishop Fenelon
He does love you and I so much.

There is a purpose behind the discipline of our children. That purpose is not to be a release for our anger or to get even. Webster defines [...]]]></description>
