					<description><![CDATA[&#8220;I think it’s arrogant of us to think that we are alone in the universe.&#8221; So said a network television news reporter in a discussion of some new discovery in the universe. That statement is surely one that we would agree with, though not as the reporter intended it. He was not talking about the arrogance of&#8230;&#160;<a href="https://lutheranspokesman.org/2016/01/01/we-are-not-alone/" rel="bookmark"><span class="screen-reader-text">We are Not Alone</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I remember the summer I was a tour-bus driver in Glacier National Park. Drivers were taught park history, information, and geological features. It wasn’t any surprise to me that the “geological features” section was full of terms, time frames, and explanations from evolutionary geology. It got old in a hurry. How absolutely refreshing one evening, in&#8230;&#160;<a href="https://lutheranspokesman.org/2015/08/01/refreshingly-uncomplicated/" rel="bookmark"><span class="screen-reader-text">Refreshingly  Uncomplicated</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Do you ever wonder what is so new about “New Year”? Oh sure, we add another number to the counting of years. We will call it 2014 instead of 2013, but does that really make it new? The world still has the same problems. Our flesh is still plagued with the same sins.

					<description><![CDATA[Using a gift is a fine way to express appreciation and gratitude.

Our full and free Salvation in and through Jesus Christ had been put on the shelf by the Roman Catholic Church, which&#8230;&#160;<a href="https://lutheranspokesman.org/2013/10/01/using-the-reformation/" rel="bookmark"><span class="screen-reader-text">Using the Reformation</span></a>]]></description>
