There are so many Christian Churches --which one is right for you? If you like Paris Hilton there is a church which promotes "How to Share your Faith Using Paris Hilton’s My New BFF"
The folks at Saddleback Church are pleased to offer the High School Musical 3 "bible study"
Another christian church is having a raffle every Sunday for a free IPod. While another is giving away 'Christian Hackey Sacks" to show that Christ also loves DeadHeads--"kickin' it with your homeboy Jesus!"
Christian Pastor Ed Young is having a 7 day sex challange at his church. Most other Christian church's have only had a 30 day sex challange like Relevant Christian church in Florida.
A 'clever' christian youth pastor dances and raps to 'Lean Like a Cholo'

Meanwhile, Alpha and Omega Ministries is engaged in what they call 'The Truth War' fighting against false faiths like Islam, Buddhism, and Evolution hoping to win more converts to christianity in order that they can start going to a christian church. They can take their pick from the churches above.
"contending earnestly for the faith" doesn't include condeming 'christianity" Judeo-christianity or Judaism. Notice, no star of David to contend with in "The Truth War". Instead, these comfortable calvinists like to contend earnestly by taking a cruise -The "God's Faithful World in an Unbelieving World Cruise" to be exact. Register now for this fantastic cruise to Key West and Cozumel! Comfortable “christianity” sells.
And Yes, they support the establishment's "war on Terror" while they have been spending the last five years deriding Islam and challanging Muslims to debate. No chance these guys would ever get out of their comfort zone and deride Judaism or challange rabbi's to debate because they have fear that tribulation or persecution might arise. If these guys lived in the 1500's they definitely would have been Roman Catholic.
Did you know that Christianity Today reccomends the movie Sex and the City? It does---calling it " a celebration of friendship, self, and romantic love—mostly in that order." and that "the film offers much that will resonate with singles—and yes, even Christians—who see themselves not just as a demographic in a Barna poll but as sexual beings" and "it was refreshing to have a single woman's sexuality acknowledged" and "I certainly enjoyed this meaningful reunion with its beloved characters and their winning friendships."

But Most IMPORTANTLY IF YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN REMEMBER NEVER TO SAY GOD"S NAME(Don't even THINK IT) The name of Yahweh occurs over 6000 times in the Bible .
Catholics will no longer address God as ‘Yahweh’ ---Father Ronald E. Brassard, the pastor of Immaculate Conception parish in Cranston, said the new directive is "a good thing. This directive is the Church showing great sensitivity to our Jewish brothers and sisters." -link
From Judeo-Christianity Today---
Barring Yahweh
The Vatican gives orders to excise the name from worship. Do Protestants agree?:
"Protestants should be following their lead, said Carol Bechtel, professor of Old Testament at Western Theological Seminary in Holland, Michigan. "It's always left me baffled and perplexed and embarrassed that we sprinkle our hymns with that name,"
"Other evangelicals have been debating not only the word Yahweh but also Jehovah, said John Witvliet, director of the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship."
"Both Yahweh and Jehovah have been removed from the Christian Reformed Church's Psalter Hymnal"
"In August, U.S. bishops were directed to remove Yahweh from songs and prayers."
"refusing to write or say Yahweh aloud is a long-standing Jewish tradition"
Most Bibles already Bann YAHWEH--THE NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE translators explain why---
"THE PROPER NAME OF GOD IN THE OLD TESTAMENT: In the Scriptures, the name of God is most significant and understandably so. It is inconceivable to think of spiritual matters without a proper designation for the Supreme Deity. Thus the most common name for the Deity is God, a translation of the original Elohim. One of the titles for God is Lord, a translation of Adonai. There is yet another name which is particularly assigned to God as His special or proper name, that is, the four letters YHWH (Exodus 3:14 and Isaiah 42:8). This name has not been pronounced by the Jews because of* reverence for the great sacredness of the divine name. Therefore, it has been consistently translated LORD."--The English Translation of BAAL
*or possibly because of hatred and disgust for the true God?(see Revelation 3:9)- They can't say it, can't write it, can't read it, won't hear it, can't see it--Get Yahweh away from me! --Kind of like how Dracula can't bear to see a cross
nice necklace, Count
" ....Dracula's name, for instance, came from the Order of the Dragon, originally founded to protect Christian Europe from invasion by Muslim Ottomans.....For Romanian Orthodox Christians in the Byzantine tradition, Dracula was a hero who held back the invading Ottoman armies longer than most leaders managed to do."---Elizabeth Kostova author of The Historian. Wow! Dracula as a hero of the Christian faith--A Dracula Castle Church with spooky rooms and Scooby Doo! Jay Baker could be our Pastor. PUNK ROCK and GOTH!
