					<description><![CDATA[The dignity of work comes from, and must never be separated and made independent from, the dignity of the worker. If a worker’s dignity is undermined, or if it is utterly denied, and they are told they can only obtain it by work, they are being exploited. I see this happening often enough when the [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When we recite the Nicene Creed, we proclaim our belief that Christ will “come again to judge the living and the dead,” and that his kingdom will have “no end.” These statements were put into the creed as a response to a popular, but bad, eschatological take, one which said that Christ’s kingdom would exist [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When Jesus ascended into heaven, he did more than merely levitate into the sky before disappearing; rather, he had his whole person, including  material body, enter into a different modality of being, a modality all of us will have in eternity. Jesus didn’t go into space, he entered into the kingdom of God, which transcends [&#8230;]]]></description>

What most do not appreciate is why many Christians, at the beginning of church history, believed otherwise.  Things have changed so much in church history the context of one of the most significant debates in Christian history is lost to them.

					<description><![CDATA[We are born with original sin, and it influences us in many ways. Though it is not sin, it weakens our ability to do or choose what is good, especially because it leaves us spiritually blind. This does not mean it renders us completely incapable of doing good. Original sin weakens us, but it does [&#8230;]]]></description>

They should learn from Christ who, at the beginning of his ministry, revealed that he came to promote justice in the world, represented by the Isaiah scroll [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[While pride is said to have been the cause of Satan’s downfall, and through him, humanity, we are also told in Scripture that avarice (greed, the love of money) is the root of all evil. While these two claims might seem to contradict each other, it is possible to see them as working together. Vices [&#8230;]]]></description>
