      Dear Friend of Jesus:

      Today we offer two shorter lessons. One explains why and how a preacher or elder who personally would not teach error can allow his congregation to be captured by the promoters of change. The other looks at ways change agents use to capture a church. Both lessons are needed by our brethren. Please share these lessons with other Christians. Pray that Christ's church will prosper in the coming year.

          TEN WAYS TO INSURE THE SUCCESS OF THE CHANGE MOVEMENT



          Many brethren have been rudely wakened and shocked by the challenge presented by the promotions of the change agents. If asked, few would say they actually want to see the innovators victorious in their efforts. Most however seem unwilling to lift a hand to help stop them. While pondering this situation, I thought of ten ways such folks can insure the success of the change movement.

          • Pretend there is no problem. As some ancient sage observed, "There
            is none so blind as those who will not see."

          • Refuse or neglect to inform yourself of the danger that is before us.

          • Refuse to warn your congregation of the imminent danger facing them.

          • Allow personal friendships, family connections and school loyalties to influence your actions regarding this crisis.

          • Pretend to be so pious that you must stand aloof from the strife.

          • Continue to lend you influence, encouragement and financial support to those who are zealously working to undermine and destroy the church Christ died for.

          • Allow those who promote the change agenda to use your school, your congregation, lectureship or paper as a forum to spread their ideas.

          • Refuse to cooperate with others in the common defense of the Cause of Christ

          • Discourage and undermine the efforts of those who are carrying the battle to the enemy.

          • Fight against those who share your faith, rather than the real enemies of the church.

          Any or all of these ten suggestions are recommended by Satan as effective ways to weaken congregations and make them vulnerable to the advances of the promoters of unscriptural changes. All volunteers for his program are welcomed.

    ...........................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)
