		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a great article in The Atlantic this month. Some quotes:
&#8220;The answer to the question of which religion will dominate the future, at least politically, may well be: None of the above.&#8221;

People don&#8217;t like the title of Dan Kimball&#8217;s book, They Like Jesus but Not the Church.

Hot book, heavy book. Buy two copies and give one away. Here’s a preview:
“Jesus’ sovereignty over ‘all things’

		<description><![CDATA[My wife and I watched a movie yesterday afternoon. It was bad. Do not rent it if you haven’t already. American Beauty is perhaps one of the more perverse and downright awful films to come out of Hollywood in recent years, yet it reflects many issues plaguing current middle-class life. Mid-life crises, cut-throat business competition, [...]]]></description>

I listened to Rob Bell’s most recent Sunday sermon today, and in the interest of demonstrating that I am not a maniac, I’d like to offer a response.
