Shriver Jr.
When our survivors read our disposition of our assets, will they recognize that we "have been with Jesus" (Acts 14:13)?  Will they see that this Christian, in life and in death,underwent "pocket book conversion" in favor of the world's poor?]]></description><link>http://www.pulpit.org/2010/11/jubilee-shout-or-indistinct-sound/</link> </item> <item><title>Jubilee and The New Testament</title> <description><![CDATA[By Keith Russell

Three stages to my reﬂection: (1) the justice that is retributive, punitive, vengeful; (2) the justice that is restorative; (3) the justice that is capital punishment.]]></description><link>http://www.pulpit.org/2010/11/jubilee-for-the-captive/</link> </item> <item><title>The Bi-Vocational Preacher</title> <description><![CDATA[By Robert LaRochelle
