Christianity began as a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. When it went to Athens, it became a philosophy. When it went to Rome, it became an organization. When it spread throughout Europe, it became a culture. When it came to America, it became a business! (source)
Before we start I just want to say that I am not a "perfect Christian" nor are there any in this world. I am just a Christian that is trying to do my part to contend for the faith as Jude taught us in Chapter 1 verse 3. Unfortunately though, there are not many of us left in this country today and that is leading to all sorts of strange doctrines and lukewarmness. I get so angry when I go into a Christian church and am told that the pastor isn't married yet, and that I shouldn't say anything apologetic about religions, or that I just need to let things be because we are to "be all things to all men". Most churches today are lukewarm at best and are not teaching any kind of real truth. Watered down sermons that always seem to lead back to money are the most common. This page is a rebuke for Cafeteria Christians and a wake up to any that might not realize what they are being taught.
"Be all things to all men" To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made All things to all men, that I might by all means save some. (1st Corinthians 9:22)
This is one of the most common verses that is sent to me in regards to the various items on this site (Holy hip hop/Christian rock and Christian death metal). Unfortunately this verse is often taken out of context in order to justify a vain ministry. The photo to the right is of JC's girls. Their ministry sounds good if you are not reading your Bible but in reality their ministry has missed the mark. It's living proof that scripture reading is an idea that has been tossed out of the window. These girls are really causing just about every man around to lust after them. Don't lie either guy's, you know its true! Just go to their site http://www.jcsgirls.com/ and look at the pictures and how they dress. I am not saying that you will instantly lust over them but you will get a picture of where I am coming from. I am not saying it's wrong for them to be pretty either; but to dress immodestly as they do just makes guys lust. Not to mention a violation of scripture. I went to their my-space page and found some seriously sexually provocative photos, but no Gospel message. Visit the site and look at the holyhottie wear section. You will see that it's obvious that they overlooked 1st Timothy 2:9 "In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array." I am counting the days until I get an e-mail saying that they don't dress "as bad" as the heathen Hollywood crowd.
Stripper Salvation
JC’s Girls' unusual evangelization to the sex industry
by Michael Allen | www.BustedHalo.com
“We got some other girls together and we went out to our first strip club.”
It may sound like the beginnings of a wild bachelorlette party but in fact it is elementary school teacher Tanya Huerter’s recollection of the first step she and two other women from Southern California took toward creating an outreach to the adult entertainment industry.
Huerter along with Lori Albee and Heather Veitch are the founders of JC’s Girls a ministry whose mission is to “seek to share God's message of hope and forgiveness by reaching out in a nonjudgmental way to those who are in the sex industry.” The trio, who is affiliated with Sandals Church in Riverside, Ca, explodes any stereotype you may have regarding the term “church lady.” These aren’t your typical frumpy, finger waggers railing against smut. JC’s Girls are three thoughtful and committed women of faith who are attractive enough to make a living in the adult entertainment biz...b
We pattern our ministry after the very ministry of Jesus by actually going to the people who need him ... Our desire is for people to see that Christianity is anything but boring and restrictive. In Christ, we are free to experience adventure, pleasure, forgiveness, hope and peace."

Here we go again... same old stuff again! Lets be like the world to reach the world! This is the result of ecumenical stains from things like the Purpose driven life and other ecumenical teachings. Apparently sharing the Gospel with strippers would be judgmental otherwise these girls would have the message on their websites right? Look at the "friends" on Heathers myspace page. It contains those from porn stars all the way to Stephen Baldwin whom has been caught up with the TBN ministers of wickedness. Should we befriend the world, what sayeth the Bible?
"And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them." -Ephesians 5:11
"Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God." (James 4:4)
...and what communion hath light with darkness?" -2nd Corinthians 6:14
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? (2nd Corinthians 6:14)
I have examined the website and myspace pages of JC's girls and I cant find out how to get to Heaven or anything about repentance and the change that takes place once you accept the Lord. I did find out that it's okay to be like the world and I also discovered that it's okay to befriend Christ rejecters. If they are really trying to help the sex industry get saved wouldn't they put the Gospel on their sites so that when the unsaved visit they can get the truth? Just like Holy hip hop and Christian rap they "having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." (2nd Timothy 3:5) The power being the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Don't you remember or haven't you all read the WORD??? For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life (John 3:16). Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life (John 6:47) These two verses alone have power unto salvation but yet they are missing from most professing Christian ministries today.
How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit." -Jude 1:7,18,19.
I have a quick question, if you are in a Christian rock band how can you be all things to the holy hip hop artists? Or to the Catholics, Mormons, and stripers? Or what about those that only listen to country or classical music. Can you answer that? Are you going to go to the "hood" and start rocking the Gospel? The answer is simple; Paul was not talking about adopting worldly concepts and taking part in them in order to win people to Christ. We already have "born again lesbian ministries" next you will see Christian porn movies". Where will it stop? If anyone has accepted Christ through CCM (Christian Celebrity music) then praise God, the music did not do it, and the chances that they will grow in Christ are almost zero! I have witnessed to rockers and Goth kids and I don't act or dress they way the do. I have had so many people ask me "who will witness to those kids?" Well, based on the CD's, radio, websites, and concerts I have examined not you world copiers, that's for sure. I am more than capable of sharing the Gospel with anyone and so are all of you with out taking part in their wicked ways.
In 1st Corinthians 9:22 Paul said " To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made All things to all men, that I might by all means save some." I just got another e-mail in which it was said I was wrong and must have overlooked this verse. If this were the only verse you ever read it would seem like Paul would adopt any life style in order to reach the lost but this is not the case at all. In 1 Cor. 9:21, for example, he says, “To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.” Paul explains in the prior verse that he is always to be under the law of Christ and to not abandon the scriptures. Paul would not grow his hair long and braid it to look like a punk gangster, he would not grow it long and wear fish stalking like the effeminate band Showbread, and he would not paint his face in a gothic manner like Christian Goth or Christian death metal bands. Why? Because it would contradict the law of Christ. 1 Cor. 9:27 he says, “But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.” Also consider 1st Thessalonians 5:22 in which Paul said “abstain from all appearance of evil." Whether you like it or not Rock music and rap music is pagan in nature we have already proven this on this site several times. The reason you guys get so mad at me is because your flesh doesn't want to give that up. If you can listen to that music in your own time and it wont cause a brother to stumble (I doubt it) then go for it but keep that stuff out of the churches it has NO place whatsoever in the church. This music weakens the fundamental stance of a church and the believer. IF you have to drop your standards in order to reach these "troubled homie gangster kids" then let them go because as Jeff Godwin states "As soon as the music stops those kids will leave". Meaning they were never really interested in truth but rather a cheap quick fix for the flesh.
Don't judge what is being taught?
I am told all to often "don't judge" Benny Hinn , Paul Crouch, Rick Warren, or any one that says they are a Christian because they might be anointed by God. I just shake my head every single time because it's so obvious that you guys are not reading nor studying the Word.
"Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considereth not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? THOU HYPOCRITE, first cast the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye." (Matthew 7:1-5)
All the email I get never have all the verses above but rather just the Judge not portion. Which means they failed to read that portion in context, which Pastor Greg Durel always says "a text with out a context is a pretext!" The verses are dealing with HYPOCRITICAL JUDGMENT... period.
IS IT RIGHT TO JUDGE?
By Franklin G. Huling
Above is a great in depth article which explains judgment.
"And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them." -Ephesians 5:11
"Prove all things; hold fast that which is good." - 1st Thessalonians 5:21
A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself. (-Titus 3:10-11)CHECKMATE!
