 A TEAM EFFORT TO PROTECT THE CHURCH FROM HARM
A spiritual war is being waged against the brotherhood of churches of Christ. Across the nation battles are being fought as agents of change work to gain control of congregations, schools, and mission outposts. They are well placed, well-funded and well prepared for their conquest. They are fully aware of what they are doing and where they are going. They are highly motivated and confident of victory. Unfortunately the majority of those who are their intended victims are unaware of the danger facing them. Some realize there is a problem but seem not to perceive the extent of it and the imminent danger it poses. If we are to effectively block this takeover of congregations which will result in their being swept into apostasy, those who love the Lord and his church must take action. We must act now and act decisively. We must recruit and army of volunteers and we must educate and inform our fellow-Christians.
An Operation in Which You can Help We need a thousand Christians who have access to the Internet to join hands with us in an educational project, beginning today. Each Saturday I will send you an article addressing some aspect of the change movement among our brethren. Some of the articles will remind us of the Biblical reasons why we believe and worship as we do. They will address those items being challenged by the promoters of change. Other articles will address the errors or fallacies of the false teachers. Some will review their books and speeches.
I will send the articles to fellow-soldiers on my e-mail list. When you receive the article, read it and then forward it to ten or more members of the church on your mailing list with a note encouraging them to read it and forward it to Christians on their list. Such an effort has the potential to reach thousands of brethren within an hour’s time. Each week they will receive a brief lesson that will remind them of who we are, what we believe and why. They will be reminded of the dangers of the change movement. In a year they will have received 52 such lessons. Hopefully some of them will see the need to get involved and help us. This effort will not cost anyone a penny. It will take no more than 20 minutes a week. It will reach thousands. It can make a difference.
Can I count on you to help? If you wish to participate, expand your e-mail list to at least ten, hopefully many more, fellow Christians. The first lesson is posted below. Read it, forward it to Christians on your mailing list. (Hopefully they can be elders, preachers, teachers, but any brother or sister in Christ). You are encouraged to send it to the congregations in your area who receive e-mail. Send it forth with a fervent prayer that God will bless your efforts and save his church from being swept away.
Thank you for caring enough to get involved in the most important thing in the world. Yours for the church we love,
