		<description><![CDATA[Is it ok for pastors to download sermons instead of writing the sermons themselves? The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports that online sermon caches are making it easier for pastors to download examples, outlines and even entire sermons. Some people say it&#8217;s unethical, dishonest and cheating. Some say it&#8217;s fine &#8212; just like a lawyer looking [...]]]></description>

We have all been asked now and then to give our “testimony,” by which is usually meant our conversion story of 30 years ago. It gets a little old. It somehow reminds me of Jimmy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago we brought to your attention proposed legislation in Arkansas that would allow churches to decide whether or not congregants can carry concealed weapons into their sanctuaries. Yesterday the bill stalled after a voice vote in the Arkansas Senate&#8217;s Judiciary Committee, killing it after it had passed earlier in the House.
Rep. Beverly [...]]]></description>

Under the current law, holders of concealed weapons permits can take guns anywhere in the state except bars and houses of worship.

		<description><![CDATA[There are over 300,000 churches in America, and 52 Sundays in a calendar year. This means that roughly 15,600,000 sermons are annually composed and delivered to expectant flocks. That&#8217;s a lot of pressure on a pastor, and so perhaps it&#8217;s not surprising that resources like SermonCentral and Pastor&#8217;s Helper have emerged to make their jobs [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Abraham Piper (John&#8217;s son) is encouraging pastors to blog, and he gives six reasons why they should:
1. …to write.
2. …to teach.
3. …to recommend.
4. …to interact.
5. …to develop an eye for what is meaningful.
6. …to be known.
Piper, who fleshes out these reasons here, points out, &#8220;It will give you access to your people’s minds and hearts [...]]]></description>
