Causecast Music interviewed The David Crowder Band, an award-winning six-piece electronic rock and worship band from Waco Texas, to discuss the mechanics of social change, Mission Waco, and Twitter.
"We, in fact, saw that on the last tour we did, each night, I would do research for each city that we’re going to – me and some folks that are surrounding and helping us do what we’re doing. We would look and see what’s going on in each city, socially speaking – organizations that were really having an impact, that were making a difference. Pulling people up out of where they were and helping them have some forward sight, you know? And then I’d write out this big sheet of paper that we’d hand everybody and say, ‘Look, these are the things that are going on right among you; we have a responsibility."http://www.causecast.org/news_items/9437-the-david-crowderband-on-the-mechanics-of-chan... more

These outtakes (via Megan-Fox.net) didn't make the Megan Fox profile in last weekend's NYT Magazine, maybe because they depict the manufactured Megan rather than the real one.
"When I sit down to talk to men's magazines, there's a certain character that I play," she told the NYT Magazine. "She's not fully fleshed out -- she doesn't have her own name -- but she shows up to do men's-magazine interviews."
Megan says girls call her slutty because she is beautiful and smart, but her crotchy posing might also have something to do with it.

If a person question whether the Sabbath is Saturday or Sunday the dictionary can definitely be a valuable resource alone with many other resources that tell about the men who changed the calendar from God to man.
For your knowledge and understanding:
Sunday is defined as the first day of the week
Saturday is defined as the last day of the week
A week is defined as a period of seven days from Sunday to Saturday
Man made Sunday their day of worship the unchangable God commanded Saturday His Blessed(Holy)day of worship choose how you worship whether of man or of God

A non-Muslim is objecting to a Muslim student who does not enjoy himself with them in night clubs!
I have a muslim student in my class at university and he never comes and sits with us nor does he come out to the night club/leisure with us. My question is why does islam teach people not to enjoy them selves and be miserable all the time. cheers.
(Trash Mengarie) "Worship is an artist from Geneva, Switzerland (almost France though!). He’s part of the roster of On The Fruit Records, which we mentioned some time ago in connection with label boss Franck aka Freak You.
While Freak You has clearly made a big impression on some of us, Worship has left a big footprint on Beatport (apparently making On The Fruit Records one of the best selling labels in the section indie dance). I am totally feeling his “Dome trilogy” but when I checked his myspace the other day, a new song called “Born Live Die” just made me forget everything around myself. It’s an epic synth tune that’s as diverse as life itself. The track is born into a mellow intro, it picks up speed and races and pumps through the world just to fall apart slowly in a huge cheesy sunset at the end."

Islam: "Way of life in submission to God in Peace"
Allah said in the Holy Quran: "It is not fitting for a believer that when Allah and His Messenger decide a matter to have any other opinion. They say nothing more than, 'We hear and we obey.'" [Holy Quran 33:36]
All answers are provided by direction of Yusuf Estes, national chaplain and spokesman for ISLAM TODAY PROJECT, unless otherwise stipulated.
The following is a reproduction of an actual dialog through email with a "born-again" Christian and the National Muslim chaplain, Yusuf Estes, who was a former Christian businessman and minister before entering into Islam in July of 1991.
The simple beauty of understanding where people are coming from in their thinking and having proper knowledge of Islam and the methodology of explaining Islam (menhaj ad dawah), is demonstrated here to show how close some of the statements against Islam are to actually in fact verifying the proof that Islam is the only correct religion with Allah. These questions are from a man that Allah has been testing with belief in Christianity & Islam. The answers are provided from Today Islam's Sheik Yusuf Estes.
As we will see, many times the very objections and complaints that others have about Islam, can actually be used to support the correct teachings of Islam. The problem comes from the fact that all too often we do not know enough about what the people are meaning and not enough about our own religion. Notice the art of agreeing at the correct points and then bringing about a clear understanding in the other points without alienating the other person.

The fact that the churches are built in the World Wide Web became wide-spread. A growing number of congregations are creating Internet offshoots that go far beyond streaming weekly services. The sites are fully interactive, it is possible to see a dedicated Internet pastor, use a live chat in an online "lobby," Bible study, one-on-one prayer through IM and communion. The viewers on one site can accept Christ as their savior clicking on the tab during worship. Flamingo Road Church, based in Cooper City, Fla., twice conducted long-distance baptisms using the Internet.
When the religion became interactive, the Christians were forced to re-examine their idea of church. This is a many-sided matter involving theology, tradition and cultural expectations of Christianity. Even developers of Internet church sites have the various opinions. The critics affirm that true Christian community requires in-person interaction. They ridicule the sites and call them religious fast food or Christianity lite. But advocates regard the Internet just another neighborhood where real relationships also the religious ones can be built. Granger Community Church of Indiana is one of the churches which are going to launch its Internet campus soon, considering the Internet the church's "front porch." Pastors who back the sites say they feel a religious duty to harness this new way for reaching the spiritually lost. Central Christian Church started a new church service this fall on Facebook creating for people the ability to go to church online as they bank online, date online and so on.
Rock-style worship music and a sermon recorded at the in-person weekend service that is mixed with live or recorded greetings expressly for online viewers – this is the same basics such sites share. Volunteers on live chat emphasize that day's Bible teaching and block inappropriate posts.
Each site also has its individual features. For example, at Seacoast Church, based in Mount Pleasant, S.C., online viewers can repent by posting a private record of their sins on a cross. On the Granger site, visitors will be able to choose "seats" in an auditorium, and then click on surrounding seats to exchange Facebook and Twitter addresses.
There is no an exact count of interactive online campuses for the present day. The Leadership Network, which studies and supports innovative churches, has found at least 40 and this number permanently grows.
Everything started from Oklahoma megachurch named LifeChurch.tv in a nod to its use of technology. The congregation had already expanded to physical sites in several cities when in 2006, pastors launched what they now call Church Online. LifeChurch.tv now broadcasts more than 25 online services each week and plans more. The services collectively draw up to 60,000 unique viewers from 140 countries weekly, although the number of new computers that log on for several minutes is about 5,000. There is also an uncommon way to attract people who are far from pious invented by LifeChurch.tv. The congregation buys Google ad words so that a person searching for them sees an ad inviting them to a live worship service instead. The goal is to move people into some in-person Christian experience, in church, a small Bible group or even a group that watches online services together, as explained Bobby Gruenewald, a pastor.The fact that the churches are built in the World Wide Web became wide-spread.

Why is the apostate to be executed in Islam?
As a non Muslim, I find myself Intrigued and attracted to your faith. However, I find it difficult to comprehend how a man can be sentenced to death for speaking( Salman Rushdie). I would have thought that we as humans do not have that right to make those decisions, only god can?

Here is the development of many common questions about Islam and Muslims and their beliefs, customs and morals, and a lot of things different
Join this group to find many answers to your questions :
Muslims believe in the One, Unique, Incomparable, Merciful God - the Sole Creator, Sustainer and Cherisher of the Universe; in the Angels created by Him; in the prophets through whom His revelations were brought to humankind; in the Day of Judgment, and in individual accountability for actions; in God's complete authority over destiny, be it good or bad and in life after death.
Muslims believe that God sent His messengers and prophets to all people. Biblical prophets mentioned in the Qur'an include: Adam, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Lot, Ishmael, Isaac, Job, Ezekiel, Jacob, Joseph, Jonah, Jethro, Moses, Aaron, Elijah, Elisha, David, Solomon, Zechariah, John the Baptist, and Jesus; peace be upon them all.
God's final message to humanity was revealed to the last prophet, Muhammad (peace be upon him), through the Archangel Gabriel. It confirmed and finalized all previous revelations that were sent to humankind through God's messengers.
One becomes a Muslim by believing and proclaiming that, "There is no deity except God, and that Muhammad is the messenger of God." By this declaration the believer announces his or her faith in all of God's messengers, and in the scriptures revealed to them.

May I suggest to the seeker of truth do the following NINE STEPS for purification of the mind:
Clean their mind, their heart and their soul real good.
Clear away all the prejudices and biases.
Read a good translation of the meaning of the Holy Quran in a language that they can understand best.
Take some time.
Read and reflect.
Think and pray.
And keep on asking the One who created you in the first place, to guide you to the truth.
Keep this up for a few months. And be regular in it.
Above all, do not let others who are poisoned in their thinking influence you while your are in this state of "rebirth of the soul."
The rest is between you and the Almighty Lord of the Universe. If you truly love Him, then He already knows it and He will deal with each of us according to our hearts.
Peace to you and Guidance from Allah the One Almighty God, Creator and Sustainer of all that exists.Muslims believe in the One, Unique, Incomparable, Merciful God - the Sole Creator,... more
