		<description><![CDATA[Savvy Article #1004
Michael J. Wilkins says, &#8220;Yes.&#8221; A person who is fully human is conformed to the image of God.
In a mind-bending chapter in his book In His Image, Wilkins argues energetically that you, a Christian, become conformed to the image of God by becoming more human.

		<title>A Common Enemy: Are Christians Cruel to Each Other Because They Don’t Think Satan is Real?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Savvy Article #1002
The world is teeming with Christians who leave churches and hibernate because other believers have deeply wounded them. Many of the wounders are pastors and leaders.
I used to think the biggest reason Christians treat each other despicably was interpersonal ignorance and lack of responsibility. I&#8217;ve heard leaders judge the wounded for leaving. &#8220;You [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mini-article #0903
They say that form is supposed to follow function, but too many food designers haven&#8217;t read the original memo.
