		<description><![CDATA[This Momentary Marriage With all of the talk about same-sex marriage in the news, I thought it would be good to post this link to John Piper&#8217;s book, &#8220;This Momentary Marriage.&#8221; Despite the legal wranglings, marriage for Christians means so much more than cohabitation with government endorsement. Let&#8217;s not forgot that God created marriage even [...]]]></description>

Here is where you can get the free book: The Mormon Faith of Mitt Romney. Now that Romney is the presumptive Republican nominee you might want [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been watching from a distance the discussion among churches affiliated with Sovereign Grace Ministries. This past month, they announced a process to re-examine their structure. You can google it if you want more information. There are strong views (both pro and con) about the process, the reasons for the process, the fairness of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two converging events have created in me a need to write this post – a post that will no doubt offend (or embarrass) a few of my fellow Christian workers. Please forgive me for what I am about to write. This past week the Obama campaign rolled out a fictitious story about Julia. Julia’s story [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, there is a holy stink going on regarding the megachurch. Since that is a topic I have blogged about occasionally here, I thought I would highlight it for you. Christianity Today highlights a controversy brewing over Andy Stanley&#8217;s recent sermon on a gay couple that attend his church, North Point. You can hear Stanley&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When Should Christians Engage in Civil Disobedience? With the Obama administration telling the Catholic Church to just deal with it, the question on the horizon is simple. Will Christians be called upon to stand against this coercive policy on birth control and abortificients (I write &#8220;Christians&#8221; and not just &#8220;Catholic Christians&#8221; because whether one is [...]]]></description>

At six years old, his illiterate father, struggling to survive with his family of six, gave Mustafa to a marabout (pronounced mare-uh-boo).
