  • THE TRUTH

      I AM MEMBER OF THE CHURCH OF CHRIST IN DALLAS AND FIND SOME OF THESE COMMENTS "HUMOROUS". THE TRUTH IS THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE ATTRACTED TO CHURCHES BECAUSE THEY ARE LOOKING TO BE ENTERTAINED OR FOR BRAGGING RIGHTS. THERE IS A TRUE WAY TO WORSHIP, THERE IS A TRUTH TO THE SCRIPTURE. SOMETIMES PEOPLE CAN BE BLINDED BY HIS/HER OWN AMBITIONS AND FORGET ABOUT GOD'S PURPOSE, WHICH IS TO PREACH AND SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST WITHOUT ADDING OR TAKING AWAY FROM THE BIBLE. IS THIS A CONGREGATION THAT HAS DETOURED FROM TRADITIONAL WORSHIP? WE AS MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH OF CHRIST CAN LEARN MANY THINGS FROM OTHER DENOMINATIONS, SPECIFICALLY BEING MORE ACTIVE AND PRESENT IN OUR COMMUNITIES, NOT TO MENTION OUR OFFERINGS. HOWEVER, WE HAVE CANNOT ALLOW THE PRESENCE OF "SUPER CHURCHES" TO INFLUENCE OUR WAYS OF WORSHIP AND CAUSE US TO WORSHIP IN A WAY THAT IS NOT PLEASING AND RESPECTFUL TO GOD. WE SHOULD CONDUCT OURSELVES IN WORSHIP IN THE SAME MANNER WE WOULD CONDUCT OURSELVES INFRONT OF OUR PARENTS OR PEOPLE WE HOLD IN HIGH REGARDS. THAT IS WITH MUCH RESPECT!!!
      A GREAT MISCONCEPTION FROM PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH OF CHRIST IS THAT WE JUDGE OTHERS. THIS IS FAR FROM THE TRUTH. GOD IS VERY CLEAR WITH HIS LIKES AND DISLIKES. SO HOW IS IT JUDGING IF WE ARE BRINGING YOUR ATTENTION TO SOMETHING THE LORD HAS CLEARLY STATED HE IS DISPLEASED. FOR EXAMPLE, HOMOSEXUALITY. GOD WAS VERY CLEAR ON THIS ISSUE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, BUT BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SAY HOMOSEXUALITY, MAN HAS DECIDED TO MAKE THIS A CONFUSING TOPIC. REMEMBER, DURING THIS TIME-TERMINOLOGY WAS DIFFER FROM NOW.
      WHAT IS MY POINT? GOD IS VERY CLEAR WITH HIS LAWS AND EXPECTATIONS. OPEN YOUR BIBLE AND READ IT FOR YOURSELF. A CHURCH WAS ESTABLISED WHEN JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS. WE SHOULD BE WORSHIPPING AND CONDUCTING SERVICE AND OUR LIVES ACCORDING TO THE NEW TESTAMENT.
      AND TO MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH, STOP ALLOWING PREACHERS TO BECOME GREATER THAN THE MEMBERS OF THE CONGREGATION. THE GOSPEL HAS BECOME A MEANS OF MONEY RATHER THAN A MEANS OF MINISTERING.

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