		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m hoping to migrate the audio for my sermons and lessons onto this website. Please see the new site at http://sermons.karenoch.com.

		<title>Towards a Biblical Priority of Justice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The commandment states that we should have no other gods before the one true God. Anything that has greater value than God is an idol. What of the idolatry of justice?
This may seem odd, as much of the OT idolatry led to a lack of justice and oppression of the poor. But since anything that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Leadership Lesson</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At this point in my life, my leadership responsibilities include leading those who lead other leaders. Or, to lead people who will lead people who will lead people; great-grandchildren-leaders. That means the people I directly lead are more likely very capable leaders themselves. They make good decisions with sophisticated thought processes and values. But at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spiritual Gift of Teaching</title>
		<description><![CDATA[God has confronted me with Romans 12:7 on the spiritual gift of teaching. Specifically, if a person is gifted (as well as called and trained) to teach and preach, let him preach. The Apostle Paul also says if a person is gifted to serve, let him serve, and so forth with other gifts. By implication, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Strength to Know I&#8217;m Weak</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is part of a song I wrote today. I love irony, especially when it makes me want to cry and worship God at the same time.
Strength to Know I&#8217;m Weak
(Verse 1)
While in this life I grow weary
My load too great to bear
You place Your yoke to set me free
My burden Yours to share
(Verse 2)
My [...]]]></description>

		<title>biblical priorities for love</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A friend recently asked me a question. In the New Testament book of James chapter 2, God commands us to not show favoritism. But what about our blood relatives? Should we not put them above others in our lives? It&#8217;s a great question, not only because it&#8217;s so practical. It&#8217;s a great question also because [...]]]></description>

		<title>I think I know what to do</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I admit, I desire the greatest impact. Yes, I relate to the sentiment that &#8220;I just want to be faithful to what God has called me to…&#8221; which has a ring of humility to it. It&#8217;s a humility that seeks not great things for oneself. Instead, it&#8217;s the heart&#8217;s cry of a true servant who [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why is Jim Wallis a professed evangelical Christian?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s statements like this that make me wonder how Jim Wallis understands the grace and power of God: &#8220;Even in the loving arms of a God who also grieves such terrible human losses [such as the Oklahoma City bombing], the pain never really does go away.&#8221; (God&#8217;s Politics, p.302) Is this deep sympathy that the [...]]]></description>
