		<description><![CDATA[Last month I posted a link to a Wall Street Journal article that questioned the wisdom of short-term missions.  In my post, I reflected on a couple thoughts I had regarding inefficient missions that can be read here.
Yesterday, Trevin Wax posted an article that weighed the pros and cons for short-term mission trips that can [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I came across the following update on the Jacob&#8217;s Well church-plant that Reid Monaghan is heading up in New Jersey (link).  I don&#8217;t really know Reid, but he was in a few seminary classes with me at the Nashville extension center so I have followed what he is doing via the blogosphere.
I recommend you read [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was looking back through my notes from my Personal Evangelism class I had this past semester with Dr. O&#8217;Neal here in Nashville, and one thing stood out from my notes that I am not sure many people get.  It was this:
&#8220;Concentrate on churching the area, not building the biggest church in the area.&#8221;

		<description><![CDATA[In this week&#8217;s edition of In The Blogoshere, Trevin Wax linked an excellent article by Tim Keller that discusses the gospel and how it should be presented.
In the article, Keller emphasizes that there is only one gospel, but it can and should be presented in different ways depending on who you are talking to.  Also, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ed Stetzer recently posted on his blog about some new evangelism research that Lifeway Research has conducted.  The research dovetails with the idea that I am promoting here at Be The Fruit which is that believers need to focus on &#8220;being the church&#8221; rather than just going to church.  Here is a link to his [...]]]></description>

Easter Sunday is a good weekend to invite someone to church for [...]]]></description>
