		<title>The New Testament in 50 days &#8211; day 31</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Bronze reading on this 31st day of our &#8217;sprint&#8217; through the New Testament is one of the most &#8216;beautiful&#8217; chapters in Scripture, Ephesians 1.  Here are just a few thoughts to whet your appetite:

is there a more tender or wonderful passage in the Bible than Eph. 1:4-8?  Go back and read it s-l-o-w-l-y!
as wonderful [...]]]></description>

		<title>He&#8217;s here!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our first grandchild finally arrived a little before midnight last night, after about 18 hours of labor for Sol.  He&#8217;s definitely a McQuay, as he was already disobedient, since we had given him clear instructions not to come on the Sunday that Jack Hayford was our guest at CLC!
But we&#8217;re excited to see him, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>The New Testament in 50 days &#8211; day 30</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our Bronze reading for today is Galatians 6.  Here&#8217;s my random thoughts:

verses 1-3 make it plain&#8230;.and make sense, too!
Galatians 6:6 comes to my mind each time I receive from someone&#8217;s ministry (like Jack Hayford yesterday!) I want to be a blessing by sharing with those who have impacted my life with God&#8217;s Word!!!
Verse 8 is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sunday reflections</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whew&#8230;..I&#8217;m falling asleep on the couch trying to type this, so I&#8217;ll be brief:

Suffice it to say that today was a historic day for CLC!  I&#8217;m still pinchin&#8217; myself to think that Dr. jack Hayford was our guest!
All 4 of his messages were outstanding, so you really should order the CD&#8217;s or download the podcasts [...]]]></description>

		<title>The New Testament in 50 days &#8211; day 29</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our Bronze level reading for today is 2 Corinthians 8, which is a classic on the subject of generosity. Here are some random thoughts from my reading:

How does this equation sound: &#8220;many troubles&#8221; + &#8220;very poor&#8221; = &#8220;abundant joy&#8221; + &#8220;rich generosity&#8221;?  As unlikely as it seems to our mind, that&#8217;s what verse 2 declares!
Verses 3-5 [...]]]></description>

		<title>The New Testament in 50 days &#8211; day 28</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our reading for today at the Bronze level is 1Corinthians 14, which is invaluable for showing us how the early Church handled the issue of spiritual gifts and their use in public settings.  Here are my &#8216;fresh&#8217; thoughts as I read today:

love how verse 1 encourages/challenges us to &#8220;desire the special abilities the Spirit gives&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Haiti update &#8211; you&#8217;ve got to see this!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A dear friend &#38; missions leader, P.G. Vargis, just sent this report to me today from a friend of his &#8211; to encourage all of us who have prayed for the nation of Haiti since the devastating earthquake there over a month ago..  Here&#8217;s the report:
Today was the one month anniversary of the great Haitian [...]]]></description>

		<title>The New Testament in 50 days &#8211; day 27</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ahhhhh, today&#8217;s Bronze reading is a favorite of so many: the &#8220;love chapter&#8221;, 1Corinthians 13.  Here are my random thoughts:

You already know how strongly I feel about the gifts &#38; manifestations of the Holy Spirit and their role in the church today &#8211; but the first 2 verses make it very clear: love is more [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ask the Pastor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my personal intercessors asks, &#8220;I have a question for you from Acts 21:4, when Paul was sailing to Jerusalem they landed in Tyre for a week. While there they stayed with some believers and those disciples prophesied through the Holy Spirit that Paul should not go on to Jerusalem. But Paul was led [...]]]></description>

		<title>The New Testament in 50 days &#8211; day 26</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now we begin the second half of our sprint through the New Testament, with today&#8217;s Bronze reading of 1 Corinthians 2.  Here are my thoughts as I read:

As a pastor, the first 5 verses certainly resonate with me, because it&#8217;s such an easy trap to fall into: trying to impress people with our wisdom or [...]]]></description>
