		<description><![CDATA[Every so often I&#8217;m asked &#8220;what can I do to get local churches to allow me to hold a concert in their facility?&#8221; I answer that question WITH a question: what are you giving back? In other words, of what benefit will it be to that local expression of the Body of Christ if you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been working with recording &#8220;artists&#8221; and musicians most of my adult life. For the past 10 years exclusively I&#8217;ve been either managing or developing (or both) artists and bands in the USA and around the world. Since the music industry is going through a major paradigm shift (mainly thanks to digital downloads) it&#8217;s always [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been asked what the difference between Christians celebrating Christmas and Easter, and NOT celebrating Halloween? Christmas and Easter, while certainly pagan in its roots, directly celebrate our Savior&#8217;s birth and resurrection, respectively. Halloween, on the other hand, has nothing to do with Jesus, His life, etc. The Christmas holiday we celebrate today is indicative [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How many times have you been in a church service where the pastor or staff person said from the stage &#8220;let&#8217;s give it up for God&#8221; or some similar exhortation? It&#8217;s as though every time someone takes the stage they feel compelled to ask for a &#8220;clap offering&#8221; from the congregation before they can speak [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When did CCM (contemporary Christian music) songs from Billboard&#8217;s Top 30 charts become substitutes for intimate worship songs in our services? It seems the more relevant local churches try to become to their neighborhoods and members, the more compromise we find in the one area most people identify with: the music. Anymore there&#8217;s no continuity [...]]]></description>

Keeping my iPhone constantly nearby, taking every phone call that comes in, can really elevate your stress level. And if you&#8217;re already dealing with a health issue (however minor it may be), stress [...]]]></description>
