As I was driving, I was listening to a local Christian station (a really good one) and they had a church service on.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been trying to get caught up on some of the recent teachings by John Piper from the book of Romans. He&#8217;s been talking about Romans 13:8 &#8220;Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another&#8230;&#8221; He mentioned a quote by Jeremy Taylor:

		<description><![CDATA[When you&#8217;re doing almost any kind of work/project and someone offers to help, it&#8217;s very natural to accept. Of course, there are exceptions there&#8211;most notably when small children are involved. But when the project is something important, particularly something you are doing for God, it&#8217;s not wise to accept help without careful consideration.
In my experience, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=noisedoctor.wordpress.com&blog=333844&post=245&subd=noisedoctor&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m reading the book of Ezra. I know, not on everyone&#8217;s top 10 list from the Bible. Heck, not that long ago, I had the woefully misconceived notion that &#8220;Wasn&#8217;t Ezra a woman? It sounds like a woman&#8217;s name.&#8221; Having gotten my facts a little more in order, I thought I should read the book.

		<description><![CDATA[I was reading in Romans this morning. It&#8217;s a book I&#8217;ve read several times&#8211;probably my favorite book in the Bible. This section really jumped out at me. I always cringe when I hear people say things like: &#8220;I can&#8217;t believe God would do that&#8221; or &#8220;I can&#8217;t believe that God would make us like that&#8221; [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=noisedoctor.wordpress.com&blog=333844&post=195&subd=noisedoctor&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you are a Christian, then you should have a desire to good deeds. But why is that? Or, I guess what I&#8217;m asking is what is the motivation there?
Do we want to &#8220;pay back&#8221; God for our salvation? Do we truly desire to be more righteous? Do we want to glorify God?

		<description><![CDATA[(apologies to the grammatical purists if the title should start with &#8220;To Whom do you pray&#8221;)
I have two things that mildly bother me about the way some Christians (including several pastors and other church leaders while leading their church congregations) pray.
