        <title>Truth Encounter: Hebrews</title>
        <link>http://www.truthencounter.com/hebrews</link>
        <description>Has God spoken clearly to mankind?   Can Jesus be grouped with other great religious teachers?   What does the Bible have to say to  a relativism that claims that all devout followers can relax — whatever “Great Spirit” there might be will gladly reward sincerity?   For a society convulsed by false messiah’s from Waco to San Francisco, the  message of this First Century document  could  save your spiritual life!</description>

            <description><![CDATA[Texas Monthly's cover was a picture of the shirtless Lance Armstrong titled, "Will He Ever Be Redeemed?" The article debated whether Austin, Texas, his home town, would ever forgive him whether or not his confession was genuine, whether or not he would have to pay more. The one thing left out? God.
