There's a church in my town that IS a marketplace. Outside the sanctuary, there's a coffee shop, a gift shop and a hair salon.

You can say anything you want about me. I'll continue to point to Jesus as the way, the truth and the life.

I think that it depends on whom the Christian is following. Jesus should be our focal point and his Word should be our guide....not any man.
