		<description><![CDATA[Lighthouse Trails Research just attacked — of all people — Greg Laurie. Yes, I said Greg Laurie!
Has Laurie denied the Gospel? Has Laurie embraced another Jesus? Has he been caught with his secretary? Has he diverted church funds into his pocket? No. None of these things.
Greg Laurie has committed the crime of crime; the sin [...]]]></description>

It has come my attention that a concerted effort is being made at various websites to defame and destroy not only my hard-earned reputation as a Christian public figure, but my credibility as a Christian apologist (i.e, a defender of the Christian faith).

The results of that meeting have been interesting. At first, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The following response is to DANIEL CHEW, a critic of Rick Warren, who used his blog to raise various objections to my online conduct regarding Rick Warren. He also made a variety of accusations against me that that directly relate to my integrity, character, and Christian walk.
