		<description><![CDATA[Pulpit blunders, slips of the tongue or anything news or gossip worthy can be instantly reported the moment it happens. Christian values don't end when you pickup your cell phone and record or tweet something you think you need to share with the masses.  What ever is pleasing and conducive to the spirit of God, doesn't change with the use of your smart phone.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some leaders are young, and what they do lack is experience, while it is true that many leader were called to their position and many were appointed by man and others just went into the ministry. People of God, you still have that spirit that God gave you and the Bible that you examine daily, use the both in your discernment and approach in simply encouraging someone to teach, speak and conduct themselves in the manner that exemplifies life in Jesus Christ.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I cant help but to  think, what if God changed His mind based on the fact that we keep breaking out vows unto Him. So often you hear believers say, "I Thank God, that I am saves, sanctified and filled with His precious Holy Ghost" and with the same tongue we curse our brother and sister in Christ because of something we do not like about them.

I Love you just as long as you done get under my skin; this seems to be the unspoken motto in most churches. Just look at the traffic on twitter, when you can see what those professing Christ are saying.]]></description>
