					<description><![CDATA[God&#039;s Servant, what you are saying is not cause for celebration, but the Lord is grieved when one disobeys His Word and looks the other way or excuses error.

The Apostle Paul did not pull any punches when exposing false teachers - and that includes those who promote Calvinism.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Guys I think we have to respect Mr/Pst J Piper&#039;s decision, we were never there when God was calling him, and we don&#039;t know (as he didn&#039;t mention)the reason for him to take what he calls a &quot;Leave&quot; from God&#039;s work. We never employed/deployed him. He proclaimed and acted so himsel(as sent by God). I respect the guy and beleive his mssg until God tells me sumthing else abt him. I&#039;m sure he alone has the answers to our unawered question of &quot;mara why?&quot;. The only thing that we can try to do as the church (beleivers) is to pray that he walks in the rite path, that the decision he took is inline with God&#039;s purpose on his life. Be blessed brethren. Insulting and hurting each other with such sharp words won&#039;t help a thing but only make the enemy to celebrate.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Burning Lamp

&lt;blockquote&gt; Why he is held up as an icon in the evangelical world is beyond me. &lt;/blockquote&gt; 

My point exactly why would one even want to listen to a biographical message on some one like C S Lewis. Also who would wanna do prep work on a biographical message about C S Lewis and that at a conference called Desiring God 2010 Conference for Pastors. Nope I&#039;m afraid there is so much deceit out there it is sometimes scary!!

Like you say BL it is beyond us why the man is held as an icon. We can only watch and pray and keep our lamps filled with oil and stay awake at all times to avoid such nonsensical babel.

C S Lewis&#039;s one book Screw Tape Letters is very popular in South Africa and are punted in all the so called christian bookshops. 

AND THEY SAY: &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Screwtape_Letters&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;The Screwtape Letters is a Christian apologetics novel written in epistolary style by C. S. Lewis,&lt;/a&gt; Christian apologetics !!! Nooooo way it is down right Demonic if you ask me....mmmm Bunnytrails :-)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Narnia chronicles are filled with debauchery and unholy fantasies. He was not even a believer according to orthodoxy. His lifestyle was worldly and not to be emulated. Why he is held up as an icon in the evangelical world is beyond me. And why do churches promote the movies based on his books? Parents who would never take their children to Harry Potter movies or allow them to read the books offer up this garbage to their children and think they are doing a good thing. Go figure!]]></description>
