			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our Lord often used common illustrations to teach great truths. He used  ordinary objects, relationships, and events to communicate extraordinary  principles. Much of Paul’s instructions, too, were given through  metaphorical language to which his hearers could relate. Analogies and  metaphors help us grasp larger truths because they take us from our  everyday experiences and lead us to what God desires to be daily  realities in our Christian walk.</p>
<p>In this curriculum, we will  examine thirteen metaphors that will help define, clarify, and instruct  us in specific aspects of our relationship with the Lord. As we examine  the basic characteristics of each, we will more thoroughly understand  our responsibilities as Christians and learn how to successfully fulfill  God’s design for our lives.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;d like a copy of the book for study purposes, you can <a href="http://www.strivingtogether.com/products/Salt-and-Light-Student-Edition.html">purchase it here for only $2.95.</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://tcbt.simplyamusingdesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/mary.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-214" title="Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World" src="http://tcbt.simplyamusingdesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/mary.jpg" alt="Mary heart" width="163" height="242" /></a>An invitation for every woman who’s ever felt she isn’t godly enough,  isn’t loving enough, isn’t <em>doing </em>enough.</p>
<p>The life of a  woman today isn’t really all that different from that of Mary and Martha  in the New Testament. Like Mary, you long to sit at the Lord’s  feet…but the daily demands of a busy world just won’t leave you alone.  Like Martha, you love Jesus and really want to serve him…yet you  struggle with weariness, resentment, and feelings of inadequacy.</p>
<p>Then  comes Jesus, into the midst of your busy life, to extend the same  invitation he issued long ago to the two sisters from Bethany. Tenderly,  he invites you to choose “the better part”–a joyful life of intimacy  with him that flows naturally into loving service.</p>
<p>Pastor&#8217;s wife Jeanette Trull teaches the  ladies&#8217; class how all of us–Marys and Marthas alike–can draw closer to our Lord:  deepening our devotion, strengthening our service, and doing both with  less stress and greater joy.</p>
<p>We&#8217;d love for you to  join us!</p>
