      I managed to retire at about 48 but Rubel Shelly single-handed spoiled too much of it.

      You are correct: I don't think that Rubel ever had an original idea. If you see him preaching a series or publishing a new book you can find it all on the internet. Max Lucado, as I remember it says that he gets an idea and then buys up all of the books on the subject. Then he puts it into his own limpy style with a team of editors examining each word for its punch.

      Rubel makes it plain that he detests the church of Christ probably because the strait shooters treated him with contempt when he began on his women and music theme. I have reviewed many of his waning sermons where he cannot preach without pouring out fires on the heads of the non-instrumentalists. Not only does he not have the truth about churches of Christ and racism, he thinks that the Restoration Movement invented all of the evil in the world including bad breath. While denying that the Bible or anyone but legalists ever believed in Commands, Examples and Inferences, any reader can see that there is little exception among the historic scholars and the Bible.

      Here is something I posted when I read that Shelly was using a Missional Madness book in his "ministry" series. I don't know how one who has insisted on being master could write about ministry:

      There is never more than one or two good witnesses in most groups and you have the ball. You need to keep your head down because these people will hurt you one way or another. Anyone who would INFLITRATE and DIVERT a peaceable, happy church of Christ to, as they say, make it a "theater for holy entertainment" will (as they promise you) do ANYTHING using their mantra to BRING IN MORE SOULS.

      So, you have Shelly and his FRIEND in high places and a BOARD who is as Isaiah or someone said "sleeping dogs" and they are probably NOT going to wake up because those with CHARISMA have a way of singing them with their scorpion tails.

    ...........................THE BOOK

    What Happened At the Madison Church of Christ?


    There are thousands of churches being taken over across America.

    This book is only about one of those churches. It's about the Madison Church Of Christ. By studying the methods used here along with the resource references you might be able to inoculate your church. At the very least you will recognize the signs early on.

    Many of the current members of the Madison Church of Christ still don't know what happened.
    Some never will know! This book is for them as well.

    Madison Church of Christ was a 60 year old church. At one time it was one of the largest churches in the US, and the largest Church of Christ.

    It thrived for many years on the vision of it's elders and those of it's ministers. Those visions undoubtably came from the the inspired word of Jesus Christ.

    At sometime in the last 10 years there was a deliberate plan by a majority of the elders to take the Madison Church of Christ into a more worldly realm.

    They used secrecy, covert planning, and outside sources to scheme and to change the format and direction of the Madison Church of Christ.

    The Elders knew that the membership would never approve such a plan. Using the tools of the "Community Church Movement"(consultants, books, seminars, meetings,planters,seeders) they slowly started initiating change so it was never noticed by the members until it was too late.....

    At the heart of the plan was the fact that old members were going to be driven off so new techniques could be used to go out and reach the unchurched through new "Contemporary Holy Entertainment" methods developed by the "Community Church Movement"

    Old members had to be kept on board long enough to get their plans ready, or the funds would not be there to pay for the new building. So by the plans very nature, it had to be secret.

    The church had no plan in effect to renew or approve elders. There was never any need. The elders had always been "as approved by God". 10 of the last 15 elders would begin to shed some doubt on that.

    The Elders did not even need a majority at first, because some of the elders went along unwittingly.

    This edition starts shortly after some of the members begin to smell something strange in January 2001. Later editions may go back and fill in some of the timeline.

    To even start to understand whats happening here, you must read the background materials in the first of the book.

    This is only the first edition, and not the end. New editions will be printed as needed. To keep abreast of current changes, please visit our web site; http://www.concernedmembers.com/madison

    Here is the list of players;

    5 Godly Elders
    10 Not so Godly Elders
    120 "Deacons" (allegiance unknown)
    2,800 - 4,000 church "members"
    2 "teners" (people who have publicly confessed to have broken all ten commandments)
    Unknown number of "sinners" (This is what the 10 elders call us.)
    Unknown number of "demons" (Flying everywhere, to many to count)
