		<description><![CDATA[How would you respond if I asked you, &#8220;What&#8217;s the shortest verse in the Bible?&#8221; If you answered, &#8220;John 11:35,&#8221; you&#8217;d only be partially right. If you&#8217;re talking about most English translations of Scripture, you&#8217;d probably be totally right. Two words. There are several verses with 3 words, but just that one with 2, as [...]]]></description>

There never seems to be enough light in a motel room. Maybe you feel the same way about your house &#8212; never enough light. We [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sort of sounds like an advertisement, doesn&#8217;t it? As crazy as it sounds, there is a good bit of truth in that statement. It doesn&#8217;t have anything to do with the idea that once you&#8217;re saved you can never lose your salvation. It doesn&#8217;t have anything to do with tricking people into becoming &#8220;Christians&#8221; either. [...]]]></description>

Don&#8217;t we typically visualize satan as being in charge of some hellish kingdom with his minions, cracking the whip on the poor souls doomed there for eternity? He&#8217;s basically the king of hell, right? Is that [...]]]></description>

That shouldnâ€™t be surprising, really. After all, the title of the sermon was Feast or Funeral? One of the points Tommy made was that Christians should be joyful and not sourpusses (see, for example, Galatians 5:22 and Psalm 51:12). I believe the life of a Christian should be marked by joy, but I also believe that&#8230; ]]></description>
