Re: The Church is Under Attack!

Oddly enough, once you get out of a coc and look around, you find that, not only are 'the denominations' not attacking the coc, most of them have never even heard of it. Except in the Southeast US.

Re: The Church is Under Attack!

They are their own worst enemy. A recent post, referencing a c of C study, indicated the c of C is losing approximately 900 members per month and closing 4-5 congregations per month. In other words they are dying a slow death and it’s of their own making. The restoration movement was constructed on...

The Church is Under Attack!

I imagine a lot of you experienced the fear, the Sunday morning preaching how the church was always under attack? In my experience, growing up in the cofc in southern California, the church was always under attack from the denominations and even more so from the other cofc down the street or in the ...

Re: How did you get into the church of Christ? SURVEY
