Somewhere on a street you will find a building with a sign that says, for example, 'Grace Baptist Church'. Or perhaps down a side road a large warehouse-type building decked out like a nightclub and meant to be a place of Christian worship.
Step inside one of these on a Sunday and see what goes on during its service.
In the warehouse building you see rows of flashing lights at the front and fake smoke drifting over the stage, a young woman in tight jeans moans into a microphone, and behind her a scruffy drummer bangs away.

'To root out and to pull down,
To destroy and to throw down,
To build and to plant.'
