  • Where is your scriptural precedent?
    • Concerned Sacred Cow
      Posted Oct 13, 2003 12:48 PM

      Last time I checked, you and I didn't walk on water and your delightful articles, which I'm sure are deemed by others as "works of art," do not appear in red ink. Are we, including you, exempt from reexamination?

      You see unlike Rehoboam (Yes, a youth minister actually used and knows the name of an Old Testament king), there are some "Sacred Cows" in ministry who actually seek advise from those older and wiser than we are. We may not seek advise from "Max Walling," but we do seek to evangelize young people. Is that not scriptural?

      If I remember correctly, and if you don't mind me using scripture in it's context, I remember a "red inked" sentence, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God. Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by not means enter it." - oh wait, there's more...And He took them up in His arms, laid His hands on them, and blessed them.

      Oh great, now what? What is the world coming to? First, we have a youth minister who can read and write. Second, he enjoys reading and teaching the bible. Third, he shares the same passion for children that Jesus did - not to mention he laid His hands on them and blessed them!

      Are you not like the disciples that Jesus Himself was displeased with? Remember, long after you and I are gone, I mean you are food for worms like the rest of us right? People will still be sinful, there will never be a perfect church here on earth, and yes, there will still be immaturity from men like us. When all is said and done, Christ will remain.

      The "Sacred Cows" must be doing something right - why else would we be the continual scape goat for the destruction and division of so many churches? LaGard is right, what would the out come be if "fathers" spent as much time with their children as youth ministers often do? Take a wild guess. Or let me; You'd only have yourself to blame for your how your children turned out. You see it's often easier to use a "Sacred Cow" as a babysitter. Right? When you can't talk to your children, send them to the youth minister, if he doesn't give them the answers that a parent would have, well then, it's the youth ministers fault. Right? Please, we've heard it all before and we've heard how pleasent most of the so-called "Christian homes" really are. They're all perfect right? No conflict.

      "Deliver me from my persecutors, for they are stronger than I." David, said it pretty could here from within a cave. Been in a cave lately? Nope, you haven't, not because of me, you see I also read the same Paul you read. "Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse."

      I don't create web domains specifically dedicated to men like you, in fact I'll be praying for you by name tonight for God to break your, and my heart.

      Had I not been emailed your work, we would have never had the chance to talk.

      Remember, I was made in the same image you were made in.

      Your friend,
      A Sacred Cow

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