		<title>Is Christian Perfectionism a Danger for the Church?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The other day Rev. S. confided me that one of our pastors was causing some stir within our church&#8217;s pastoral team. It is a problem that is bound to happen every October, just before our end-of-the-year regular administrative assembly, because it is the time when we have to submit the names of candidates for all [...]]]></description>

		<title>Akismet enabled</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I finally caved in and enabled the Akismet web service to stop comment spam. I was getting between 250-300+ comments per day, all of them spam. So far, it seems to work well&#8230; and whoa! what a relief!
Meanwhile, I&#8217;m spending the day at home, doing some errands and pampering my wife, who caught the flu. [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Porn: A side note</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First, a disgression. I know it&#8217;s been a long time since I posted something substantial here. This is because of my busy life, and in part&#8230; because of the success of the forum. You see, I come here with the best intention of writing something, and then I have to face with something like 2000+ [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thirty Eight Years</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to the Lord&#8217;s grace and mercy, I turned 38 years old last Thursday. I didn&#8217;t want any celebrations; however, I had a nice noon dinner with the family.
The year that just passed was hectic, full of changes, difficulties, and opportunities. My work with Rev. S. is about to end when he ends his term [...]]]></description>

		<title>Law and Testimony</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because they have no dawn. (Isaiah 8:20, NASB)
Once I read in an online forum a post by a fellow Christian who mentioned that a common argument against having the Bible as our rule of faith and practice [...]]]></description>

		<title>Back to preaching</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After a long hiatus, I was invited to preach at my church&#8217;s youth group at their weekly Saturday evening meeting. I preached on the &#8220;falls of the just person&#8221; as stated in Proverbs 24:16. So far, it looks like the sermon was well-received. (I plan to post the notes soon.)
It was nice to be back [...]]]></description>

		<title>KDE 4.1 released</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Reading several Internet news media, it is apparent that KDE has gotten a lot of heat recently from several quarters. The main issue seems to be the KDE 4 release and its buggy-incomplete quality, and the fact that several distributions rushed to place KDE 4.0.x as a replacement of KDE 3.5.10, something which clearly was [...]]]></description>
