		<description><![CDATA[If your view of Jesus is largely shaped by Joel Osteen, then you should definitely read this book.  If you fit the description of a &#8220;cultural Christian&#8220;, then you should probably read this book.  However,  if you consider yourself an apprentice of Jesus, that is, someone who wants to imitate and pattern his/her life in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I lived in London a few years back, one of the cultural norms that I observed was the distinct line between the working class and the upper class.  There was a clear divide in society among the classes and there were few social intersections between them.  That&#8217;s not to say that there is not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why is it that when we speak about the Christian version of most anything, be it movies, music, or any other creative endeavor, it&#8217;s rarely set to the same standard of quality that their professional counterpart is based upon?  The bar seems to automatically be lowered if the word &#8216;Christian&#8217; is placed before it.  It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My wife and I started watching the show American Idol a couple of years back.  It&#8217;s been entertaining to watch the rise and fall of amateur talent and it&#8217;s been fun to enter into a dialogue with people who also watch the show.  Recently, I have noticed an unflattering trend among Christians who also are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why is it that Christians are labeled some of the most judgmental people around?  Is it because it&#8217;s true?  Towards Jesus&#8217; closing remarks on the sermon on the mount, Jesus says this (Matthew chapter 7):
“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use [...]]]></description>

Controversy was always around wherever Christ was once he went public with his ministry.  What&#8217;s interesting is that it was not the general public who found Christ controversial, but the religious leaders of the day.  It was these same [...]]]></description>
