      Stay as far away from this website as possible. 1 Peter 3:13-22

      Keep your eyes on the prize. Philippians 3:12-14, Colossians 3:1-17

      Focus on God and his word and quit squabbling about your preference. Philippians 2:3-4

      By your own admission we are bringing in new babes in Christ. And that is a bad thing how? Because some feel uncomfortable now. Because you are forced out of your comfort zone? Because someone else told you it was wrong?

      If there are long-standing Christians that feel uncomfortable worshiping there, will they not find another avenue to worship? Yes. Now we have new Christians worshiping and haven't lost the others. They have simply found another place to worship the SAME LORD! Now we have added more to The List. And that is bad how?

      I don't want to hear any "if it's not in the New Testament, it's unscriptural" crap. God left out the black and whites of worship for a reason. We are here to worship Him. To lift up HIS name. To bring souls to Him. To love and accept all. We are ALL sinners and have fallen short.

      You say you're fine with instrumental "worship" just so long as it's not at church? So any other time you do it, is it not worship? If it's worship, IT'S WORSHIP. If God is being honored one place, he's being honored EVERYWHERE!

      Do you think we should smile in church? Isn't that irreverent? Are our voices not an instrument? Is God not being exalted by our gifts? Better get rid of all the microphones, I'm pretty sure those weren't around in the New Testament either.

      Quit all the gripping and secret meetings in homes to discuss the evils of 40 Days and slandering men called by God. The four elders decided TOGETHER to introduce these changes. The four elders decided TOGETHER that we need to reach out to the community in new ways to win souls for Christ.

      Shame on all of you! Especially all those that had issues with those who left for the Adrian Church meeting with people in their houses stirring up controversy in 1996. You are doing the exact same thing. You should repent of your thoughts. You are the same people.

      Original poster:
      \f0\b0 Did you not become a Christian because someone moved out of their comfort zone and approached a lost man in jail? He was willing to meet you where you were. Willing to approach you in your element. That is what the Gospel is all about. Meeting the lost where they are at loving them and exalting the name of Christ.

      "Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God's law but am under Christ's law), so as to win those not having the law. To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some. I do this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings."
      -1 Corinthians 9:19-23

      "Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called "uncircumcised" by those who call themselves "the circumcision" (that done in the body by the hands of men)\'d1 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.

      For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace, and in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.

      Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit."
      -Ephesians 2:11-22}

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