		<title>Why I Preach</title>
		<description><![CDATA[written by Pastor Randy Boltinghouse I love to preach.  For over twenty-two years I have had the privilege of standing before the saints who gather at the Windsor Road Christian Church and proclaiming the Gospel on Sunday mornings.  Preaching takes a considerable portion of the weekly worship experience and this is no accident.  It is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why I Study Physics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[written by Taylor Byrum Have you ever exchanged your money for a different currency?  You give a person your money, only to receive less in a different currency.  Seems inefficient, right?  To me, it seems that what you give, you ought to receive with no loss.  A similar scenario happens to you every day.  It [...]]]></description>

		<title>Growing Faith</title>
		<description><![CDATA[written by Dr. Barbara A. Kammer When asked to contribute to the Urbana Theological Seminary blog, I readily agreed.  Then reality struck! Whatever would I be able to contribute since the request was very open ended? What did I know that would be of interest to anyone else? Many ideas were considered and then rejected.

		<title>From Darkness to Light</title>
		<description><![CDATA[written by Rick D. Williams Anyone whose life work centers on education or ministry experiences the familiar rhythm of the annual cycle. Our years are marked in quarters and semesters, by “ordinary” time contrasted with the “strong” seasons of Lent, Easter, Advent, and Christmas. We are come once again to the major transition point in [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Goal of Sunday Action – Part Three</title>
		<description><![CDATA[by Michael Himik Last week, I wrote there’s an elephant in the room when it comes to putting Jesus’s teaching into action in the West. Specifically, the elephant is this: God says that to love Him, we must love our neighbors. But loving our neighbors requires real community, and our culture has virtually obliterated real [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Invitation: Anti-aging Science in an Aging Culture</title>
		<description><![CDATA[written by Dr. Todd Daly The quest for longer life has been around as long as humankind has. Having been thrown out of the Garden and barred access, we have been trying to forge pathways back to the Tree of Life through hygienic practices, alchemy, and now technology.

		<title>Christian Community</title>
		<description><![CDATA[written by Dr. Jeffrey Hallett Recently I have been convicted by the fact that I am a rich Christian, and generous, but I typically pay others to help the poor.
