		<title>Rights vs. privileges</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You have no rights.
I don&#8217;t either.
All we have are privileges.
As I wrote about the common objections to slavery, I realized I&#8217;d not specifically written much about rights or privileges. This isn&#8217;t a comprehensive post about them, but I&#8217;d like to open the discussion.
First off&#8230;
Rights (by definition)
Rights are actions you deserve or are owed to you.

		<title>Your objections to slavery (and my responses)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Slavery is objectionable. I get that.
I don&#8217;t want to imply slavery is a perfect, all-inclusive way of describing the Christian&#8217;s relationship with God. Sounds small to me. And if you don&#8217;t think of yourself as a slave, this might not change your mind &#8211; and I&#8217;m not necessarily here to do that.
What I&#8217;d like to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Humongousize your thankfulness in 1,000 tiny steps</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Two Thanksgivings ago as you know, I embarked on a massive challenge, something I&#8217;d never done before. I decided to create a humongous list of reasons I was thankful. Looking back, &#8217;twas one of the best things I did that year. Seriously.
So I thought I&#8217;d spread the challenge again. This will increase your thankfulness. The [...]]]></description>

		<title>How I wrote a recommendation letter &#8211; what would you add?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Toward the beginning of last month, I received an email from one of my favorite college professors asking for a recommendation. He&#8217;d been nominated to receive an award as an outstanding part-time faculty member. I certainly don&#8217;t have time to write extra letters, but he&#8217;s a friend and an outstanding part-time faculty member, so I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Touching Godliness Through Submission &#8211; &#8220;Free&#8221; book</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This isn&#8217;t a book review or case study, though I should probably do both for Touching Godliness Through Submission and its author, K.P. Yohannan. For now, though, I thought I&#8217;d point you to a wonderful resource.
The book is only $10. Not bad. Plus, you&#8217;re supporting an amazing organization.
But if you&#8217;re interested, I&#8217;d suggest checking out [...]]]></description>

		<title>Try this to get clear on salvation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s more to the Bible than salvation, but like nothing else in the Bible, salvation is the center of attention. I believe you and I should share that same focus.
But there&#8217;s a problem&#8230; at least for me. I can&#8217;t define in clear terms the requirements for salvation. Can you? As a Christian, this is a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Top 10 reasons to become a slave</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week, I shared an introduction to slavery, but I didn&#8217;t explain why slavery matters, why Christians should be all over it. That was a mistake &#8211; I should have started with this article.
In a era where slavery is marginalized, its benefits  go unnoticed&#8230; forgotten. Who wakes up in the morning thinking, How can I [...]]]></description>

		<title>The science of serving others</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Science is based on observation and experimentation. When it&#8217;s not, it&#8217;s not science. Serving others is, in this way, a science.
The hodge-podge experiments
When I was about seven years old, like other seven year olds, I performed &#8220;experiments.&#8221; I had the privilege of being home schooled, so for the most part my experiments were encouraged. Plus, [...]]]></description>

		<title>4 practices to serve and interact when you&#8217;re physically alone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Saturday, I took a nap.
I didn&#8217;t wake up until 3:23 am. And yes, that felt weird.
Once I woke up, I couldn&#8217;t go back to sleep because I&#8217;d been out for about 12 hours. So what&#8217;s a guy to do in the middle of the night?
Have you been in a similar situation? Perhaps not napping [...]]]></description>

		<title>Can you do for Christianity what Michael Hyatt did for Thomas Nelson?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I hated Thomas Nelson Publishers. [Update: Check Michael's comment response here for why that hate's dwindling even faster now.]

Question: What&#8217;s more important than the Holy Grail?
Answer: The Holy Bible.

And Thomas Nelson doesn&#8217;t get it.
I&#8217;m a fan of the New King James Version. I&#8217;ve read from the same Bible my whole life: a NKJV, Thomas Nelson [...]]]></description>
