		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes God&#8217;s will hurts. If that makes you uncomfortable, it&#8217;s probably because you know it&#8217;s true. When God&#8217;s will doesn&#8217;t line up with my plan, I have a tendency to think that God isn&#8217;t answering my prayers. And I pray hard (even though I&#8217;m not quite sure what that means). What are we supposed to do when we pray for God to provide in a situation and He doesn&#8217;t seem to do so? The answer here, I believe, is actually &#8230; <a href="http://www.jonlloyd.com/2011/pray-then-like-this/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. &#8211; 1 Corinthians 6:20 (ESV) Let&#8217;s talk about that verse for a second. Many of us have heard this verse before, but when we read it in context, we learn that Paul is using this while talking about sexual sin. But I believe that the inspired words of God transcend ordinary interpretation. So, with that understanding, let me tell you about a decision I made to fulfill &#8230; <a href="http://www.jonlloyd.com/2011/to-glorify-with-ink/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s admit it. We all like to lay low from time to time when it comes to fulfilling the Great Commission. There are a lot of us who don&#8217;t want all the baggage that goes along with sharing Jesus with others. Sometimes it&#8217;s because we&#8217;re overwhelmed. Sometimes it&#8217;s because we&#8217;re afraid. Sometimes it&#8217;s because we feel foolish or, come on now, even ashamed. This past Sunday morning, our lead pastor Mike P. started off his message by talking about how &#8230; <a href="http://www.jonlloyd.com/2011/being-passionate-vs-laying-low/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week was one of the toughest, most intense weeks of my life. Literally. Not only was I struggling with the decision to leave the church I&#8217;ve been with all my life, I was also on my first week-long fast. A week prior, Nikki and I met for lunch and had a great conversation about why God seemingly hadn&#8217;t made His will clear to us. I had been thinking and praying earlier and had come to the conclusion that we &#8230; <a href="http://www.jonlloyd.com/2011/life-change-the-fast/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s always amazed me that two of the biggest, most monumental occurrences in the life of Jesus get very little verbiage in the Gospels. Those two events are Jesus&#8217; birth and Jesus&#8217; death. Take Luke&#8217;s account of the actual birth of Jesus. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son&#8230; &#8211; Luke 2:6-7a That&#8217;s it? She just gave birth? Just like that? What about the fact &#8230; <a href="http://www.jonlloyd.com/2010/describing-the-indescribable/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last night, I was perusing Facebook and saw a post from someone that said something to the effect of, &#8220;A lot of people got me a lot of things as gifts. I got that one thing I&#8217;ve always wanted. I even got this really expensive other thing. I&#8217;m feeling so blessed right now.&#8221; Obviously, it&#8217;s been altered quite a bit so as to protect privacy, but the message is the same. This led me to ask the question: &#8220;What exactly &#8230; <a href="http://www.jonlloyd.com/2010/god-bless-you/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know. I ended the title of this blog post with a preposition. However, I thought &#8220;For what do we stand?&#8221; seemed a bit odd. There are also likely to be several other occurrences of this grammatical faux pas forthcoming. I digress. While I was reading through the first chapter of Romans yesterday, I was drawn to how Paul opens this letter. He begins with a definitive stance that told the Roman audience, &#8220;This is who I am.&#8221; Check this &#8230; <a href="http://www.jonlloyd.com/2010/what-do-we-stand-for/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[People who have been chosen by God to make ministry a career often adopt a skewed perception of things. Ok, don&#8217;t stop reading. Let me clarify that. I&#8217;m one of those people. A lot of times, people who are immersed in church work every day find ourselves asking, &#8220;Why don&#8217;t people get it? Why can&#8217;t they just see what I&#8217;m talking about when I preach to them?

		<description><![CDATA[A couple of weeks ago, I had the amazing privilege to listen to Eugene Peterson, author of several books including the wildly popular translation of the Bible called The Message. Peterson is an amazingly brilliant man, and listening to him speak, I felt as though I was drinking from a fire hydrant. However, perhaps the most powerful part of what he said was actually what he didn&#8217;t say. See, the things he said provoked some intense thought within me and &#8230; <a href="http://www.jonlloyd.com/2010/my-time-with-eugene-peterson/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>
