		<description><![CDATA[No, good readers of this blog, there is no such thing as a Christian Sabbath.  If we are to be Christians, we need to go to the Bible and use the language the Lord has given us.  If God has given anything a name, it would be very wrong of us to change the name [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My youngest grandson recently asked me why there are so many  different churches.  He noted that they all teach different things, so how could he tell which was right?  Did it make a difference which one he attended?  Really, how many churches did Jesus make?  Those are all good questions.  All valid.  Rather than point [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sorry, friends, but that just won&#8217;t work.  I have heard that phrase several times, even a few lately, and I think we need to examine the fallacy of that kind of thinking.  According to the Bible, we cannot separate Jesus and the church! Christ purchased the church with His own blood according to Acts 20:28:  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have all known people who thought that they were great.  That is, they thought they were really nice people and that they were saved.  They thought they were obedient to God.  They thought they would be in Heaven.   They thought&#8230;well, what does it matter what they thought?  In reality, it matters not at all.  What [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While driving from Dallas to Austin recently, I saw a banner with that phrase on it &#8212; 30-minute worship. My reaction was, Really? So who&#8217;s this targeting? People who just can&#8217;t be bothered to give more than 30 minutes out of their busy life to Jesus on Sunday morning? I&#8217;m pretty sure Jesus didn&#8217;t respond [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the New Testament, there are three words used to name those who have the oversight of the church.  The words vary in meaning according to the function being talked about.  Those three words, with derivation, are: Presbuteros  (Greek)  elder  (Anglo-Saxon)  designates maturity Episcopos  (Greek)  bishop  (Latin)  overseer  (Anglo-Saxon)  denotes  oversight Poimen  (Greek)  pastor  (Latin)  shepherd  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The church is: (a) a body (b) of baptized believers (c) called out from the world (d) over which Christ is the head (e) directed by the Holy Spirit through the Word of truth. This is the real meaning of the word Jesus used in Matthew 16:18.  When the word is used in this manner, [...]]]></description>
