		<description><![CDATA[Difficult Questions Why is there such violence and suffering in the world? Why is life so unfair? Whether I&#8217;m watching the news or observing the people in my own workplace and community, I see a world filled with brokenness, misery, chaos, self-centeredness, oppression, and injustice.

		<description><![CDATA[Before I saw Christ, oh, how I feared to come to God! He was holy and I was sinful. He was righteous and I was guilty. He was wrathful and I was a child of wrath, deserving of every eternal torment. But then God&#8217;s merciful Spirit opened my eyes to the King of Glory, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Come unto me, all you who labor and are burdened down, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, because I am meek and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls; for my yoke is gentle and my burden is light. – Matthew 11:28-30 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some time ago, I was stopped on the street by a Jehovah&#8217;s Witness, passing out literature. Since we did not speak the same language, she promised to have an English-speaker call me, and a few days after that he did. Our conversation was cut short by a bad phone connection, but before we hung up, [...]]]></description>
