I simply took it as one more way of describing the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The widespread assumption that true goodness is achievable in human beings by one&#8217;s own effort was vividly illustrated by an exchange on Facebook this weekend. John Andrews cited a troubling observation by Mark Twain about the darkness within. Though he added no doctrinal argument, his passing reference to God was enough to start Diana Caile [...]]]></description>

Advent is like our prison door being opened from the outside, he quotes pastor and martyr Dietrich Bonhoeffer as having written from a Nazi prison.

The brotherly bond between Jim Ritchie in Alabama and Phil Moser in Alabama is an example. Last year after Phil told his story here, [...]]]></description>

Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh, suffered on the cross and rose from the dead to redeem us from sin and death. But in Christian [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jesus&#8217; mother and the other women keeping vigil on Calvary weren&#8217;t metaphysicians. They were personal followers of the personal Jesus, the only begotten Son, their saving Lord, God in the flesh. But Mary Baker Eddy writes as if they were fellow Christian Scientists, witnessing &#8220;the final demonstration of what life is.&#8221; Referring to Jesus&#8217; interrogation [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Trinitarian Christians pray in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Mary Baker Eddy&#8217;s followers worship a different trinity, as I was reminded recently by a friend&#8217;s article in the Christian Science periodicals. Their God, though usually called &#8220;He,&#8221; is identified as both Mother and Father, and is more often impersonally described as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What might Christian Scientists learn from evangelical Christians, especially as it relates to fostering church growth? Doesn&#8217;t Mrs. Eddy&#8217;s church manual suggest friendliness between her followers and evangelicals? These questions surfaced out of a CS luncheon group after some of them discovered they shared an appreciation of Joyce Meyer&#8217;s TV sermons. A participant in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A leading theologian of the past century gave the following summary of the diluted and distorted salvation message proclaimed by liberal Protestantism. I find it sadly reminiscent of Mrs. Eddy&#8217;s teachings as well. It makes me all the more grateful to have been led to Christ&#8217;s wonderful cross and out of Christian Science. &#8220;A God [...]]]></description>
