		<title>Understanding the Ancient Contexts of Scripture</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I finished reading, The Sumerians, by C. Leonard Woolley. It was a fascinating read uncovering the history and culture of one of the world&#8217;s first civilizations.
What made the book of interest to me was its reflections on Sumerian culture and the impact the practices of Sumer and Akkad had on the history of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>More Evidence for the Bible&#8217;s Historical Accuracy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A recent archeological find has uncovered coins from ancient Egypt&#8217;s Hyksos dynasty that contain the image and name of Joseph, the biblical patriarch. The news appeared in an article in the Egyptian newspaper, Al-Ahram:
&#8220;Joseph&#8217;s name appears twice on this coin, written in hieroglyphs: once the original name, Joseph, and once his Egyptian name, Saba Sabani, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Slanting The News Is Their Right</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning I met with a young American man who is in Mongolia doing a research project for a policy foundation he works for in the States.

		<title>An New TV Opportunity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I met today with the manager of a TV station operating in the Mongolian countryside. He came to UB to meet with us and ask if we would provide their station with Christian programming. The man is apparently a believer and wants to use his TV station to win people to Christ and help disciple [...]]]></description>

		<title>Loving Imprecation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m halfway through a little book about the imprecatory Psalms of the Old Testament. The book is called, War Psalms of the Prince of Peace, by James E. Adams. In today&#8217;s reading I came across this:
&#8220;Where do we get the idea that it is wrong to ask God to bring judgment on the wicked? That [...]]]></description>

		<title>Returning to the Blogsphere?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have not been active here for many months—since November of 2009. That&#8217;s a long time away. But recently I&#8217;ve been thinking about returning to the blogsphere to spend some time sharing and reflecting upon my life in Christ and what it means. 
So, expect me to start posting again soon.

		<title>The Importance of Covenant Fidelity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I got an &#8220;A&#8221; on my research paper for my Genesis-Joshua class with Reformed Seminary (virtual). I haven&#8217;t gotten an &#8220;A&#8221; on anything since high school and that was so rare as to be almost nonexistent; so I&#8217;m pretty tickled.
It might be overkill, but I&#8217;ve decided to post the full text of my paper here. [...]]]></description>
