Best:
Note: These are only "best" in that they are pretty good right now. When they are exploited and taken to great extremes, they're going to go on the worst list.

-The union of really good theology and the drive to be closer to God (e.g. John Piper)
-New defenses for the enerrancy of scripture
-New defenses for the resurrection of Christ (i.e. Wright, Habermas)
-The emphasis on having a dialog between contrasting ideologies in Christendom.
-The attempt to bring the Reformed teachings to the youth - Resolved Conference
-New defenses for the resurrection of Christ (Come on, it deserves to be on here twice)

Worst:
-Armor of God toys and action figures (just an extension of Will's costumes)
-New ridiculous ways of evangelizing
-Putting the grape juice & crackers in little packets and handing them out as the congregation enters.
-Everyone putting your heads down as someone raises their hand to accept Christ
-One-week missions when those people going out do not consider themselves missionaries where they live
