		<description><![CDATA[Q.  I appreciate this editorial [in a recent e-mail Meditation] on &#8220;Giving&#8221; and the way you went on to explain how it is supposed to be done, biblically.  Does tithing have anything to do with what you described, or is it simply money and or items giving to organizations as offering?
A.  You pressed the sensitive button here.  Almost 20 years or so ago, I decided to pull out all the scriptures on tithing that I could.  What I found surprised me.  Most people in NT churches preach on tithing, say it&#8217;s required and include ample exposition on Malachi that we are cursed with a curse because we are robbing God in our tithes and offerings.
That never really set well with me, especially after the study on tithing I did myself.  (Did you know that occasionally one of the types of tithes was eaten in a fellowship meal atmosphere?  If you ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Q.  Could you please share with me about this statement I got from a preacher that &#8220;Grace is judgment being postponed?&#8221;  
A.  This statement is one of many which have been developed by man to help teach or relate a bit of truth about the character and nature of God.  Like most man-made statements, you have to weigh it and figure out what it mean.
At base level, we understand that we are all born in sin and are headed toward a day of judgment with the Almighty God.  We also understand from scripture that we deserve eternal punishment for our wholesale rejection of God and His laws in our daily lives.  Through the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we further understand that His death buys our forgiveness and redemption so that we do not have to endure hell for eternity.
So, this statement points out the ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A young friend recently wrote the following:
Q.  I was just reading todays meditation, what do you mean by going through the refiners fire, and how do you do that?
A.  The process is one of purification of precious metal by:   fire.  It has to do with the removal of impurities which would make the precious metal LESS than it should be.
In the Christian life, we are so often weighed down by our own selfish desires, petty ambitions, amusements or attractions which are temporal instead of eternal.  We focus on the skin of the person next to us rather than the soul.  We judge by the eyes instead of valuing the person.  In short, we don&#8217;t reflect the image and glory of God.
How do we partake of this cleansing?  You don&#8217;t &#8220;do&#8221; it as much as endure it.  God is the One who oversees this process in your life.  He sends you ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Q.  I know I&#8217;m probably too shy, but it&#8217;s the way I am.  I wouldn&#8217;t even know how to change now.  So how does one begin to overcome shyness?
A.  I also know shyness. I lived it for years as a child and adolescent.  I also craved attention enough that I would act the clown at times to get that attention. But inside, I didn&#8217;t know how to express myself or have a decent conversation about anything of substance with another person.
(That leaves you, by the way, very open to negative and damaging relationships with the opposite sex. Simply put, the affection starved person often jumps at the first opportunity &#8212; no matter how deplorable the conditions. Then the downhill spiral really starts.)
Here&#8217;s the truth: Some people will not like you if you are who you are.   AND, some people will like you if you are who you are. That&#8217;s ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Q.  I&#8217;ve been told that I have to do is believe and trust God right.  Someone finally got it through to me that I&#8217;ve just got to do it, to ignore everything else within me that goes against believing and trusting Him. So, I finally got it and am ready to start again.  But now someone else has told me it doesn&#8217;t work that way.  Can you help clear things up for me a little please?
A.  I like to think in terms of relationship.  Your walk with God is pretty much like any other relationship you can imagine:  you exist as a person, and God exists as a &#8220;person.&#8221;  In any relationship, one person will have questions, requests, desires or communication which he wishes to share.  He has to be open and honest to share those.  The other person responds according to their level of commitment and degree of love.
