		<description><![CDATA[It always struck me as something of a mystery when I was reading Mere Christianity, how often C. S. Lewis would prefix his thoughts on a theological subject with the disclaimer that he wasn&#8217;t a theologian or a pastor, so he couldn&#8217;t be precisely sure if his take on a topic was exactly right.

		<description><![CDATA[Below is the essay I was required to write as part of the application process for the Army Officer Candidate school.  The title isn&#8217;t mine &#8211; it&#8217;s part of the guidelines for the essay.  Of course I left out certain motivations, such as &#8220;to lift up and encourage the saints who are there,&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I continue to be perplexed by the subtleties of the will of God.  That&#8217;s probably a bad sentence to start on, but the other openers I thought of really weren&#8217;t much better.

I&#8217;ve just finished reading, at a friend&#8217;s request, a book on finding the will of God, and why you shouldn&#8217;t.  It&#8217;s literally [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hello all.  Valerie has commissioned me to write a little review of what&#8217;s coming up in the next few months, because interesting times are on us, apparently all at once.  Usually, I&#8217;m not allowed to write up the family news because I get stuck in the theory of it.  It&#8217;s not my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Please forgive my tone in the next few paragraphs.  I&#8217;ve been reading Puritan preachers lately, and I think it&#8217;s garbled up my syntax a bit.  Nevertheless:

It is always the business of the true Church to order the secular government around.  It is never the business of the governor to order around the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My meeting with the Mormon evangelists didn&#8217;t go all that great yesterday.  I don&#8217;t mean that anything catastrophic happened, or that my objections were swatted out of the air like so many flies.  I still think I have good objections, but my delivery was weak.  I stumbled.  Frankly, I think I [...]]]></description>

So I&#8217;ve been thinking for the last few days about how to get to the heart of the matter with them as quickly as possible. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think I&#8217;ve mentioned before that I&#8217;m a mystic.  But I&#8217;ve discovered that word makes some people, particularly non-charismatic evangelicals, nervous, so let me explain.  By “mystic” I mean a person whose devotional life is characterized by intensely affecting spiritual experiences.  These experiences may be in the realm of simple theological insight, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dan Phillips recently started an accidental firestorm when he took it upon himself to criticize modern poetry.  In particular, he criticized the poetry recommended by Karsten Piper.  I protest that I was not at the center of the storm – I said to myself, “I will not say anything,” but at last the [...]]]></description>
