  6. Colossians 3:16-17 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom…

  7. and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God…

  8. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.”

  9. Believe it or not somebody actually launched a website out there that offered an automated prayer service by a computer so you don’t have to do it yourself!… Automated Prayer Service

  10. It’s called Information Age and here’s what they say, “Information Age Prayer is a subscription service utilizing a computer with text-to-speech capability to incant your prayers each day Automated Prayer Service

  11. It gives you the satisfaction of knowing that your prayers will always be said even if you wake up late, or forget… Automated Prayer Service

  12. We think our service should be used like a prayer supplement, to strengthen a subscriber’s connection with God.” Automated Prayer Service

  13. For instance, for only $3.95 a month, they will actually say The Lord’s Prayer for you. “This prayer is the model that Jesus taught us to pray…(only they do it for you)… Automated Prayer Service

  14. It thanks God, and asks Him to provide for our needs, and to forgive us. One simply cannot go wrong with this most beautiful classic prayer.”… Automated Prayer Service

  15. Or you could subscribe to The Morning Prayer. “The morning prayer is meant to be said each morning. A nice, short prayer, it has all the basic essentials to a daily prayer life… Automated Prayer Service

  16. Subscribe now to tell God what you think of Him each morning!” Only $3.95 a month… Automated Prayer Service

  17. Or how about The Prayer for your Children. “This prayer asks God to watch over your children, and allow them to do good, and to keep them from harm… Automated Prayer Service

  18. This is the cheapest prayer you can get from Information Age, and it can be said each day for an entire month for only $1.99.” Automated Prayer Service

  19. And speaking of savings, due to the ongoing economic slump, they offered, for a limited time only, 5 get well prayers each day, for only $9.95 a month! Automated Prayer Service

  20. Worshipers at Lighthouse Church in Illinois have been given a new incentive to be in the pews the last few weeks. Their Pastor is giving away cold, hard cash… Free Cash Giveaway Service

  21. The pastor pulls three seat numbers out of a hat, and two lucky worshippers get $250, while one gets $500. The cash comes out of the collection plate and attendance is up over 600 people in just the past five weeks… Free Cash Giveaway Service

  22. An Anglican priest eager to keep their parish alive due to declining church attendance, asked users of mobile phones and other technological devices... Cell Phone Blessing Service

  23. to bring them in this weekend for a special cell phone blessing. Aware of the attendance crisis, they decided to experiment with different ways to spread the word… Cell Phone Blessing Service

  24. And however, they made a disclaimer that says, “We do not claim to be able to exorcise the demons from your computer.” Cell Phone Blessing Service

  25. Most Christians are familiar with the Biblical story of Jesus turning water into wine, but now two New Zealand Pastors are turning a pub into a church complete with beer-drinking during the gatherings.. Beer Drinking Service

  26. While the “sports bar service” will not contain any sermons or singing, the Pastors say it will serve as both a place of prayer and a place to grab a beer… Beer Drinking Service

  27. And they’re not the only ones. Another Pastor in California is doing the same thing. “Some Churches use tactics like providing coffee and sweets, but a new church in San Jose has a very different approach… Beer Drinking Service

  28. It provides beer for it’s attendees. Pastor Jenkins said this is where real ministry takes place. ‘Come on,” he says, ‘I’ll buy you a pint!” Beer Drinking Service

  29. A Michigan pastor says he’s doing everything he can to reach people who don’t feel comfortable with traditional houses of worship. So he opened up a tattoo parlor inside his church to help out… Tattoo Parlor Service

  30. Rev. Steve Bentley said his ministry is built on the belief that mainstream religion has become ineffective and irrelevant to most people. And so to that end, he opened Serenity Tattoo as you can see in this video… Tattoo Parlor Service

  31. 2nd wayCreating aNew Scripture

  32. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness…

  33. so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”

  34. The New Samurai Version • One man says he wants the world to know about Jesus Christ alright, but just not the one were used to. A Mr. Akinsiku has come up with his new version called the “Manga Bible” which is the Japanese form of graphic novels…

  35. The New Samurai Version • “It will convey the shock and freshness of the Bible in a unique way.” In his version, Bible characters are depicted among other things as skateboarders in Bedouin gear, with things like Noah getting tripped up as he’s counting the animals in the Ark saying…

  36. The New Samurai Version • “That’s 11,344 animals? Arggh! I’ve lost count again. I’m going to have to start from scratch!” • Or Abraham riding a horse out of an explosion to save Lot. • Or Og, king of Bashan, looking like an early Darth Vader.

  37. The New Samurai Version • However, unfortunately, the Sermon on the Mount did not make the book, because there just wasn’t enough action to it.”
