		<title>You Wouldn&#8217;t Love This Jesus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You say you love Jesus. But in all candor, you love your Jesus. You love the Jesus&#160; you have fashioned for yourself, who values the same things you value and who is—pardon the pun—your own personal savior.
But, if Jesus were to show up right now, would you love the true Jesus of Scripture? Perhaps you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jesus Isn&#8217;t What You Think</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jesus was conceived out of wedlock to a poor family from an underprivileged city and in a stable inhabited by livestock.
His mother was surrounded by scandal. His earthly father was a common day laborer.
When he grew up, he was homeless and a bit of a drifter. He was tried and sentenced to a criminal’s death [...]]]></description>

		<title>This Might Be Offensive</title>
		<description><![CDATA[More country music about Jesus.
When I heard this one, I didn’t like the comparison at all. I thought the idea of Jesus as a “hillbilly” was offensive. For some reason, “country boy” was easy to stomach, but not hillbilly. Afterall, the latter is so unsophisticated and looked down upon—and then I realized what I was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jesus Was A Country Boy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ll admit it.Sometimes I listen to country music. 
What can I say? I have eclectic tastes in music. (And everything else.) One thing I notice about country music though is that when a country songwriter sets out to write about faith, they go much deeper and add more emotion than most Christian music. The following [...]]]></description>

		<title>Missing The Point</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jesus didn’t die to change people’s sexuality. He died to change their standing before God.
Jesus didn’t come to stop abortion. He gave His life to bring eternal life to sinful people.
Jesus didn’t give His life away for the right to bear arms. He died to set humanity free from sin.
Jesus didn’t walk among us to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Introducing Jesus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This video, performed by Steve Harvey at one of his comedy shows, depicts how Harvey would introduce Jesus if he had the opportunity. Rob-Roy at streetfishing.org posted a blog about this video and poses the question as to whether or not this is an effective God-pleasing introduction, or an introduction that pleases Satan because it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Which Jesus Do You Follow?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If Jesus returned today, would your church accept Him? Would you? This video and the song that goes with it does a good job contrasting the Jesus depicted in the Bible with the one followed in American Christian culture. Take a look for yourself.

		<title>Are We Sheep or Goats?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[“Now, before we can give anyone food, we have to make sure they are really in need and not taking advantage of us. If we serve meals, let’s make sure each person only gets one and nobody tries to go through the line twice.”
For I was hungry, but you would not feed me.
&#8220;I can’t believe [...]]]></description>

		<title>How Does Jesus Fulfill The Law?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.&#8221;–Matthew 5:17&#160;

When Jesus says He has fulfilled the Law,He means we could not keep it. So He did.
When Christ says the Law is completed,He means sin is no longer an issue [...]]]></description>

		<title>Salt and Light</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jesus uses two mysterious metaphors near the beginning of The Sermon on The Mount. In the first, He declares His followers to be the salt of the earth. In the second, He calls them the light of the world. Much has been said about these comparisons and there is some debate about what Jesus meant, [...]]]></description>
