			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_41" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 435px"><img src="http://www.friendlychristian.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Christian-Marriage.jpg" alt="Christian Marriage" title="Christian Marriage" width="425" height="282" class="size-full wp-image-41" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Christian Marriage</p></div>
<p>Christian marriage is a very sacred union.  Christians tend to marry each other because they share the same religious beliefs.  Christians feel that by marrying other Christians, they are doing things in accordance to the Word of God.  Christian marriage is revered as one of the best unions of Holy matrimony.  Christians tend to marry other Christians, and there are a few basic reasons as to why that is.</p>
<p>1. Christians join in Christian marriage together because, they simply, feel that this is the proper thing to do.  As Christians, they feel that it is only right to have a legitimate Christian marriage.  They feel that once they have found the one that they love, it is time to take that union to the next level, and engage in a Christian marriage.</p>
<p>2. Christians join in Christian marriage together because they feel that if they marry another Christian, they have a better chance at their family being built on the same morals and values that they believe in.  Some Christians think that by marrying a person from the same religious background, they have a better chance at their children being raised in the fashion that they would like them to.  There are certain ways that they would like their children to be brought up, and they do not want to enter into a committed union that has a conflict in that regard. They do not want to risk the chance that their children will be receiving mixed messages and mixed signals.  They want their children to grow in a positive environment that will foster positive growth.  They want to pass on the religious values that they know and have grown to love to their children, and want their children to be able to pass on those same religious values to their children.  </p>
<p>3. Christians join in Christian marriage together because they feel as though Christian marriage has a better chance of lasting.  Some people do not believe in getting a divorce and believe that if they enter into this type of union, there will be a more probable chance that the two will stay together.  They believe that they will not experience as much of the trials and tribulations that other marriages do.  They hope that their partner will hold up to the morals and values of their religious beliefs.  They feel more confident that they will not have to deal with the common issues that lead to most divorces.  They do not want to deal with infidelity or the financial battles that consume most of the marriages that end up in divorce.  They expect their partner to be just as faithful to them in all aspects of life, just as they are to their religion.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_38" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 435px"><img src="http://www.friendlychristian.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Christian-Youth-Groups.jpg" alt="Christian Youth Groups" title="Christian Youth Groups" width="425" height="282" class="size-full wp-image-38" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Christian Youth Groups</p></div>
<p>Christian youth groups are essential to society.  We need Christian youth groups in all of our communities.  We need to have that resource available to all children.  Youth groups are a big part of the Christian child experience.  Christian youth groups hold a huge responsibility in terms of shaping our youth, so it is vital that they remain in existence.  We have to be there to give Christian youth groups the support that they need.  We all have to pitch in to make the Christian youth experience as positive and fulfilling as possible.</p>
<p>1. One of the reasons why Christian youth groups are a very important part of our communities is because they keep the youth grounded.  They are there to encourage children to be the very best that they can be.  They see to it that they are focused on the things that are important to their lives, and are leading down the proper paths that they should go to.  The youth go to them for the support and the guidance that they need so that they can live their lives to their greatest potential.</p>
<p>2. A reason why Christian youth groups are an important part of our communities is because it is a place that the youth can go to stay out of trouble.  It is critical that children have a place to go to in order to stay busy.  Christian youth groups is a resource that the youth can go to in order to avoid wasting their time resorting to activities that will lead to destruction in their lives.  There are enough activities that go on at the youth groups that will sustain them throughout the week.  Some of the activities that they offer even take place on the weekends.  There is no reason why a child should be deprived of this experience, so make your youth aware of your local Christian youth group.</p>
<p>3. The reason why Christian youth groups are an important part of our communities is because they keep children connected to the church and its activities.  Many religious bodies are the host of these groups, so it is only natural that this will allow them to have further influence on the lives of children.  Parents want to know that their child&#8217;s religious experience encompasses their every day lives.  They want to make sure that they are connected to God more than just for weekend service once a week.  These groups are an asset to the community because they offer children a place that they can go to and expand on what they are taught at religious services.  It is an extinction of what is learned and gives them that extra incentive that they need in order to live life in the way that they should.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_34" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 435px"><img src="http://www.friendlychristian.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Christian-Schools.jpg" alt="Christian Schools" title="Christian Schools" width="425" height="282" class="size-full wp-image-34" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Christian Schools</p></div>
<p>Christian schools may be a better choice for your children if you are a Christian, rather than a public school.  There are a few things to consider in deciding which school your child will go to.  There are a few determining factors that you should consider if you should enroll your Christian child in one of your local Christian schools, or should you choose to go with a public school.</p>
<p>1. Christian schools may be better for your child if you are a Christian if you have a very small child.  If you are a Christian, and have a very small child, then you may feel more comfortable with sending your child to Christian school, so that they are able to gain the morals and values that you would like them to uphold.  Many people are shaped how they will be in life during their first few years of schooling.  If you are a Christian, you want to make sure that your child is being brought up the right way.  You want to see that they have the background to be able to grow up and contribute to society.  If you are a confident that a Christian school will help you to attain that goal of shaping your child into the person that you would like them to be, better than a public school, you should consider applying to Christian schools.</p>
<p>2. Public school may be a better choice for your child over Christian schools, if you can not afford to enroll them in Christian school.  Christian schools are known as being a very expensive form of education.  Yes, the values that your child will inhabit are priceless, but if you do not have the money to make the initial investment, Christian schools may not be the proper choice for you.</p>
<p>3. Christian schools may be a better choice for your child, if you are a Christian, over public schools if you would like your child to receive the religious experience that they would be exposed to at a Christian school.  Public schools do not offer this type of incentive.  In fact, they try to avoid it at all costs.  The only reference that most children have to God at a public school is when they salute the American flag and state the words, &#8220;One nation, under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.&#8221;  Other than that, the faculty is told not to touch on the subject of religion.  Christian schools are the way to go if you feel it is important that your child get not only the best academic education that they possibly can, but also the Christian experience and influence that they need.</p>

<p>Christians love Christian music.  It is a part of the way they practice their religion. Christian music has become more and more popular because of the explosion of Christian artists that offer a wide range of music.  Christian music has always been appreciated for its melodic sounds and powerful harmonies, but because of the variety of Christian music on the market, many Christians listen to Christian music, than they otherwise would. </p>
<p>1. Christian music is loved by Christians because it is one of the key ways that they are able to communicate with God.  In the Christian religion, one of the things that is extremely important is to have a good relationship with God.  Christians use this music as a vehicle to say whatever it is that they want to say to God.  Some people want to be able to speak to God, and they feel that listening to Christian music opens up the lines of communication.</p>
<p>2. Christian music is loved by Christians because they like to listen to it in order to get through their daily lives.  Christians want to be able to get through a difficult situation, and use the music to call out to the Lord about what it is that they are going through.  They listen to the music because they are searching to hear an answer from the Lord about the situation that they are going through, through Christian music.  There are powerful messages in the music, and Christians know that the blessings within the music can be helpful and beneficial.  It is important that they get the leading direction that they need in their lives from God.  If the message that they are looking to receive to aid them in the situation does not fall into their laps, they do what they have to do to seek it out. </p>
<p>3. Christian music is loved by Christians because that is the way that they are able to feel the Holy Spirit.  They want to feel the presence of the Lord, and will, oftentimes, use the music to uplift their spirits.  They want to be able to feel restored after listening to Christian music, and connecting to the Holy Spirit will do just that.  It is an exuberant experience for them to listen to the Word of God, and they love feeling the presence of the Holy Spirit.</p>
<p>4. Christian music is loved by Christians because listening to the music is one of the ways that they are able to show their love and appreciation.  They want to praise the name of the Lord through the music.  Christians use the music to express the joy that they feel for the Lord for all that He has done for us.  It is a way to reach out and just say thanks.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_26" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 435px"><img src="http://www.friendlychristian.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Be-a-Christian-to-Like-Christian-Music.jpg" alt="Be a Christian to Like Christian Music" title="Be a Christian to Like Christian Music" width="425" height="282" class="size-full wp-image-26" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Be a Christian to Like Christian Music</p></div>
<p>Christian music has become quite popular amongst the masses these days.  You do not necessarily have to be a Christian in order to listen to listen to Christian music.  Yes, if you are a Christian, you probably love to listen to Christian music, but you are not alone.  Christian music has become even more popular throughout the last few decades.  People of all religious backgrounds and walks of life will listen to Christian music for several different reasons.</p>
<p>1. People are listening to Christian music even if they are not Christian because of the inspirational messages the music contains.  Even if you are not, you still have times when you need to be motivated, and for many people Christian music gives you that drive and push that you need.   Just because you are not a devout Christian, does not mean that you do not want to feel uplifted by the Word of God.</p>
<p>2. People are listening to Christian music even if they are not Christian because of the change in the style of the music.  There is now a variety of Christian music, that spans from traditional music to a more modern sound.  There is a wide range from the traditional, to Christian jazz, Christian soul, Christian country, even Christian rock music.  Whatever style of music you like, you can probably find that genre to listen to.</p>
<p>3. People are listening to Christian music even if they are not Christian because they do not practice the religion as much as they would like to and what to feel that connect to the Higher Power.  They may not be able to go to service every weekend, but they still want to be able to say that they were in touch with God.  They want to get the experience of hearing from God.  People want to have a vehicle to express their love and appreciation to God and show their love if they have fell short of doing so before. </p>
<p>4. People are listening to Christian music even if they are not Christian because it is on the radio or television.  More and more people tend to stumble across the music.  The music has become so popular, that some of the songs have been added in play rotation to the major television and radio stations.  There have been so many Gospel hits that have made it to the forefront over the years, that stations are slowly opening their mind to the music that was once forbidden from the popular air waves.  Many times this was not intentionally done as a discrimination pursuit, but instead to avoid discrimination by publicizing a religion that some may be a part of.  The growing popularity of the music of both mainstream and beyond has forced there to be at least a second look taken by both radio and television programmers. </p>

<p>Christian schools are everywhere in the United States. These Christian schools are considered private and usually come with a hefty tuition. Knowing if your child should attend a Christian school is simple. Do you want your child to go to a Christian school so that they can grow as a person both spiritually and mentally? Christian schools can be great for children that are misguided and just need a push in the right direction. Attending a Christian school can do wonders for a Childs development in society. If your family is primarily Christian, then figuring out whether or not your child should go to a Christian school has probably been made for you already. Public schools do a great job of educating children so that they become a valuable member in our society. But there is not much other development in terms of shaping the person.<br />
Christian schools have been around for as long as the country has, and there even Christian high schools and colleges. </p>
<p>•	Christian schools can be a great way for your child to develop spiritual development. There is often opportunities for group prayers, devotions and chapel services. Attending mass is a regularity at many Christian schools. If this is something that is practiced at your home, then your child will have no problem getting into the routine </p>
<p>•	Attending a Christian school can be a shock to some children. Some misguided children will not be completely receptive to going to such a strict environment. It will take time and patience with your child to get acclimated to the daily grind of going to a Christian school. </p>
<p>•	Christian schools also provide a opportunity for moral development. Instill deep moral values in children is very important to some parents, and Christian school do a great job of doing so. Sometimes teaching your child at home moral values isn&#8217;t enough. Teachers at the schools will do a great job of reinforcing what you teach your child as well as adding new morals. </p>
<p>•	 Christian schools also help develop a child intellectually. They help students become smarter and clear thinkers. Students that can express their faith and values in positive ways, usually be come valuable members of society. </p>
<p>•	Christian schools can help students get more involved in their communities. Attending a Christian school will push students to attend community out reach programs as service projects and mission trips.</p>
<p>If you feel that your child needs to attend a Christian school, then do some research in the area to see which Christian schools are the best for you and your child. A Christian school can do wonders for a Childs moral and help develop them into a strong person intellectually. More children nowadays needs more moral values instilled in them and the public school system isn&#8217;t really fit for that type of responsibility.</p>

<p>The music being played on the radio today can by downright offensive to a lot of people. Christians that attend church regularly will attest to this. Driving in the car, it is hard to find anything other than the typical music being played on the radio. There are Christian music stations out there and you just need to dig a bit to find them. If you have satellite radio, there are many different Christian music stations out there that range from gospel to indie music. Christian music of the contemporary type is one of the fastest growing categories of music today. Christians do like other type of music as well, but there is fast becoming an interest in Christian music, even in children. If you attend church, then your fellow Christians will help you find the regular FM channels on your radio. I&#8217;m sure they will also share with you their favorite artists in the fast rising genre today.</p>
<p>•	Christians can recommend to you the best artists as well as the best places to find the music. Christian book stores such as Family Christian Stores or Lifeway Christian Stores have a huge arsenal of Christian music, including many old artists and Christmas favorites.
