		<title>The confessions of a proud Protestant</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was born and raised a Protestant (Pentecostal variety). I was taught the Bible at church, I read it at home and memorised it at my Christian school. For this I have no regrets. I am thankful for of my scriptural knowledge; it really has been ‘a lamp to my feet and a light to my path’ (Psalm 119:105). What I’m not proud of is my prejudice. For most of my life I have had an appalling attitude towards Catholics.]]></description>

		<title>Two questions</title>

		<title>The truth about love</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The 60s chanted 'make love, not war' but what they really did was make war on love. This bold assault not only changed the way we think about sex and marriage, but also what we think about God and reality...]]></description>

		<title>The Cross</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If Jesus' physical pain was the most significant thing about His suffering, against the great crowd of martyrs who have died, are dying and will die, His crucifixion will fade into history as just one of many who have suffered... ]]></description>

		<title>Knowledge that satisfies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[‘Knowledge is power’ asserted Francis Bacon (1561-1626). By implication, increase your knowledge and your future, and possibly that of others, is in your control. But is the amassing of personal power the prime function of knowledge?...]]></description>

		<title>The best counter-attack for lust</title>

		<title>Is God in control?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Depravity seems unstoppable. Base instincts run wild, freed under the banner of 'progress'. The sad truth is crime really does pay (ask the mafia) and selfishness rules the world (watch the news)... ]]></description>

		<title>Can bad be good?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Bible tells us God is good. So you would think having a sovereign 'good' God in charge of your life would guarantee an exemption from 'bad' things. But if you have been a Christian for any length of time you will discover this is simply not true... ]]></description>
