		<description><![CDATA[Isn't the bottom line (your motivating reason), for going to church, is to one day spend eternity ...away from Hell?  Why do you believe? Why do you go to church?  Why do you fellowship with other believers? Why do you say amen?

		<description><![CDATA[Many Christian churches preach tithing as a means of supporting the work of the Lord today. There are many variations of this theme. Some pay the local church one tenth of their income after taxes and bills are paid; some pay before. Others demand tithing on unemployment, inheritance, gifts, tax refunds, social security and even gambling winnings. The tithing issue has caused a great deal of strife and division in our churches over the years.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The parable shows us the true nature of repentance and the Lord's readiness to welcome and bless those who return to him. When we turn from the darkness of sin to the light of eternal life, God opens our eyes and convinces us of our sin. There is unspeakable happiness of all the children of God who keep close to God, because they are, and ever shall be, ever with him.  Jesus uses the parable to teach about God's grace and acceptance of people who have been rejected by society.]]></description>
