      Dear Member,

      The elders appreciate our congregation’s response to the recent survey regarding the instrumental service your church leadership is exploring. As we mentioned earlier, this survey was not a “vote” but a simple means designed to provide some feedback. We would like to update you with the results of the survey which are as follows.


      There were 752 responses to this group of questions:

      1. My Preference is instrumental and I would attend the instrumental ervice-9.2%
      2. I enjoy both a cappella and instrumental and would attend either.-53.6%
      3. My preference is a cappella but I can allow an instrumental option for others.-28.4%
      4. My choice is a cappella and I do not believe that an instrumental option should be allowed-8.8%

      Not everyone indicated a time or start date preference, but of those 658 respondents who indicated a time preference, the survey reflected that if we were to have an instrumental service, 57.4% indicated that the IM service should be the 11:00 service. Also, of the 568 respondents that indicated a start date, 67.0% indicated the IM service should begin in the fall of 2008.

      Your elders will now begin a period of prayer and contemplation, and we call upon you to also pray for the elders in making the best decision for our church family. We anticipate communicating more with you regarding this topic by late summer.

      If you have not had a chance to hear the teachings of Ronnie Norman or Rick Atchley, then we ask you to call the church office and request these presentations. They will be mailed to you at no cost.

      We thank you again for your good spirit, prayers and support. May our God continue to bless us as we aim to please Him in all things.

      In Christ,

      For your elders
      Lacy Spears, Chairman

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