		<description><![CDATA[Best-selling author John Eldredge recently wrote a book about Jesus titled Beautiful Outlaw. One of the things that struck Eldredge as he researched and wrote his new work was noting how grounded Jesus was as a person. Eldredge wrote that Jesus had the “ability to navigate praise, then hatred, false flattery, then adoring crowds, vicious [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last year, as I was driving to church on a Sunday morning, I was in a deep funk. For many reasons, I was experiencing an emotional and spiritual valley. I prayed, trying to tell God where I was emotionally and spiritually, but the words didn’t come easy. As I struggled, the song “Word of God [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of my favorite quotes from John Wesley is, “Pray like it depends on God; work like it depends on you.” I don’t always live it, but it echoes something an old wise king once said. As King David was nearing the end of his life, he realized he wasn’t going to be able to [...]]]></description>

We don’t know all that his role entailed, but it likely involved doing behind-the-scenes work like buying supplies and cooking meals, along with some public ministry. He handled [...]]]></description>

Generally speaking, it’s good advice, especially for those of us who to tend to live [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Don’t judge me!” Most of us have used those words to defend ourselves when we believe someone has unfairly called into question something we’ve done. So, is it wrong to judge people? After all, Jesus Himself said, “Do not judge others” (Matthew 7:1). The answer is yes and no. It’s essential to understand that the [...]]]></description>
