		<description><![CDATA[As citizens of The Kingdom Of God, our behavior and customs are to be and should be different.  Unfortunately, that's not the case. If I may borrow from an old cliche, "we are in Roman and we are doing as the Romans do." The Churches of God in Christ Jesus, looks and acts the same in behavior and customs as the non-believers do.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What is your gift? Exercise it according to the grace given you! Each one of us has a purpose for being here, each one has a purpose in the body of Christ.  Some people can give, some can pray for others (intercede), some can exhort, some will exhort via a blog, some will go and visit. The gifts in the body of Christ are there to encourage other believers.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The timid saints are the second group of people Paul mentions. Timid means: lacking in courage or self-confidence. It seem that no one has patience for anyone timid in the church. If your timid, people will look at you with contempt, not take you serious and even ignore you. The strong saints that seem to boast of their strength in the Lord will eat the timid saints alive and feel no remorse. Paul urges the Thessalonians to encourage them.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[TweetHmmm&#8230;is this possible?  Okay, let me build up to my point. Lets start with the word diva, used in the English language in the late 19th century. It is derived from the Italian noun diva, a female deity. The plural of the word in English is &#8220;divas&#8221;; in Italian, dive [ˈdiːve].  The basic sense of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How do you exhort, how do you minister to someone without forcing you way of thinking at them?  Speaking in the King James English (quoting bible verses) is enough to turn someone away because you give the impression that you can not relay to what they are feeling. Telling someone to "just pray" about it really fall short of helping when you as a believer can;t empathize with what they are feeling.]]></description>

If the preacher never knows, if the church mother never calls you, realize this, God is totally aware of how you feel, and the reason He hasn’t broke through the clouds to see about you is…”You are strong enough to make it!”]]></description>
