		<description><![CDATA[In a world of Facebook friends and Twitter followers, we seem to be drowning in a vast ocean of weaker relationships while fatally thirsting for deeper ones.  There’s nothing wrong with having a large group of these social media friendships.   You tend to pick them up as you go through life.  It’s just that God wants you to have...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am a man filled with regrets.  I don't know if I have more regrets than most people my age but I suspect I do.  By that, I don't mean guilt.  I've known for years how to handle guilt.  Regret, though, that's different.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As with walking away from God, few people just quit church one Sunday.

This in turn becomes a barrier to attending and they fade away.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Israelites were at a crossroads. Their parents had failed to believe God and take possession of the land He promised He would give them. That was forty years ago and now the opportunity had rolled around again. God was promising to use Joshua to lead them to victory but they were going to have to fight for it. God had given them the right to the land, a command to occupy it, and a promise to be with them but they were going to have to take it one foot at a time. God told them...]]></description>
