		<description><![CDATA[In his column today, George Will argues against the therapeutic society, suggesting that the DSM-IV, about to be revised, “may aggravate the confusion of moral categories.”  For example:  “Today&#8217;s DSM defines ‘oppositional defiant disorder’ as a pattern of ‘negativistic, defiant, disobedient and hostile behavior toward authority figures.’ Symptoms include ‘often loses temper,’ ‘often deliberately annoys [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a  story this morning in &#8220;The Los Angeles Times,&#8221; Patrick Goldstein defends Roman Polanski on some empty specious grounds.  Basically he thinks that since it&#8217;s been so long, the victim has forgiven him, prisons are over-crowded, CA is having financial trouble, and Mr. Polanski has experienced tragedy in his life that he should be [...]]]></description>

My talk this morning is on giving as an act of worship.  These talks are structured around Mark Allen Powell’s wonderful book: Giving To God, the first chapter of which is “An Act of Worship.”  I can’t recommend this book highly enough, but I don’t want [...]]]></description>

Of course God is right, but do I understand His meaning? Of course God is [...]]]></description>
