		<description><![CDATA[ Finding God in the Whining
I was right smack in the middle of a first rate whining session the other day when God interrupted me.  I was whining about how unfair life was and how I seemed to be getting the short end of the stick lately and I wasn’t getting what I deserved from people [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why the Bad Stuff?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The toughest questions pastors have to answer are the “why” questions.
Why didn’t God intervene?  Why did this happen to me?  Why can’t I seem to get an answer?  Why does it seem that everything is going wrong?  Why do I have to hurt this much?  The reason these are tough questions is that we are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know, I know, you don’t have to be in church to be a Christian.  That may be, but you sure will have a hard time growing as a Christian without other Christians around you.
