		<description><![CDATA[TweetIn this discussion I&#8217;d like to explore something I think saints give little thought about, thought about what ? Why you do; what you do? I think we get caught up in the routine of doing things, thing without purpose or without thought. We do things to belong, fit in, or even impress! Weather it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

(Why do you go Sunday after Sunday? Is it to accumulate knowledge and information?) 2. What did you learn? (Are you able to stand in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[TweetPeople are constantly searching for &#8220;what the bible says&#8221; about various topics. In the hands of someone looking to preach for a profession almost any action can be justified in the bible. If your looking to justify a reason to drink&#8230;&#8221;there&#8217;s a app scripture for that&#8221; (sorry, I couldn&#8217;t resist).  Leaders can teach church members [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What if we stop blaming our misfortune or unfortunate circumstances on the devil and realize that somethings are caused by our own neglect. For example, blaming the devil for your flat tire when your tire has no tread, blaming the devil for your phone getting turned off when you needed it to call roadside help for the flat tire (when your 30 days behind on the bill).  What if we took better care of ourselves, would we need to stand in the prayer line for prayer to be healed from ailments caused by a lack of exercise and proper diet?]]></description>
