  • What are we doing in here?

      what do we do to voice our concern about THIS WEBSITE?!? i mean, honestly....are we not above trying to degrade each other in "civil arguements?" is there something to be said about me feeling guilty for looking at this website? i find myself looking here to see what each response is and to see how articulately degrading each person can be in response to each other. is that wrong? is that a healthy way to voice different opinions in dealing with religious matters? i think that this has become the "Coach T.com" of the Churches of Christ.

      aren't there more pressing issues to discuss that what this or that church is doing with their bible curriculum? is this a salvation issue? are any of these topics salvation issues? why is it wrong to teach a child about the goodness of God, or put such a great emphasis on a children's ministry if they learn of the love and grace of our God? isn't that a good thing?

      and about the hixson church....let me offer my opinion here. i think that they are doing the best they can. they are led by a wonderful team of elders who are some of the most Godly men i have ever met. their team of ministers are as compassionate and hard-working as i've ever seen. (and about the comment that nathan and his father aren't from around here. what is that supposed to mean? neither was jesus.) i am a member of this church family. i have grown up in this area and am excited to see the plannings of this church. i see God doing great things in the Chattanooga area because of the wonderful souls at the hixson church. i am a young man...only 26 years old. i have been a christian since my early teen years. what i see at the hixson church are numerous spiritual mentors who lead by spiritual example. the single most important reason that i think the hixson church will be okay is what they do to base all of their decisions upon....THEY GO TO THE BIBLE. that's it.

      that's it....

      from what i understand, as limited as some may think, i know this to be true...

      1.) that Christ is the only way to have fellowship with God. (which is what He desires most)
      2.) we are all human...therefore we are all sinners, and we may disagree on things.
      3.) the bible is the only place to base any spiritual decisions
      4.) God wants His chruch (family) to grow and be fruitful
      5.) there are some people who do not do what is right in their path to spiritual fellowship with God, based upon what the bible teaches.
      6.) (argueably most important) God knows the heart of each person. He knows the motives of man and where their desires are focued, and therefore, He (not you or me) is the only judge of His people.

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