Worship music has been around for centuries. For the longest time, traditional hymns were the main form of musical worship that Christians could use to praise God. In recent decades, the Church seemingly began to embrace more contemporary styles of Christian music. This led to the careers of artists like DC Talk, Amy Grant, and Michael W. Smith. In the late ‘90s and early ‘00s, though, Christian music gave birth to a new worship movement. While there were still plenty of great Christian musicians turning out radio hits, there was a newfound spirit for writing popular Christian worship songs that could easily be used in both church services and youth groups.

Community is at the core of the Christian experience. If we take a look at the early church, we see an intimate group of believers who were on fire for the Lord and eager to help their neighbors. Although you can debate whether or not the current Church does a good job in this area, there are many ways through which believers seek to build community. Vacation Bible School, ice cream socials, and other special events are intended to serve as community building scenarios for the local church. We can never afford to neglect the need for authentic relationships within the local church, but there are also great opportunities for engaging with other believers on a national or regional scale through Christian festivals.

What does it mean to be a man? Aside from the obvious physical characteristics, there are a lot of different methods and philosophies on how a man should conduct himself and what kind of person he should be.
