"6(645t(-&"/&3 3 Editorial ToTop p 10 Ways to Kill Your Church BY JERE PATZER Institutionalize. Make sure that the majority of the church budget is used to maintain the existing programs and structure. Don’t spend too much on outreach. When the Waldensians who had lived and died for their faith for centuries joined the general Protestant Reformation in 1532, they went from a movement to an institution and lost their focus. But history won’t repeat itself. Be apologetic about our Seventh-day Adventist name. Successful organizations like McDonalds, Honda or Nordstrom wouldn’t think of promoting their logo. So call your church or school something generic like the Community of Happy Friends Fellowship. Maybe someone will inadvertently wander in and then a year or two later you can tell them who you are. Don’t emphasize mission or mission offerings. Ellen G. White was wrong when she said the best way to strengthen the home field is to invest in foreign missions. After all, charity begins at home. And by all means don’t show the quarterly Northwest Spotlight on Mission DVD that comes to your church highlighting stories close to home. Lower the standards. We don’t want anyone to feel disenfranchised. Robinson Crusoe didn’t know what he was talking about when he said, “Expand the fences too far and the goats on the inside become as wild as the goats on the outside.” It doesn’t really matter what your members eat, drink or do. Make music the war department. Use the same style all the time. Just repeat sweet little praise ditties each week. And definitely don’t use hymns that reinforce our fundamental beliefs. Always remember upbeat music is from the devil. Or only sing 1800s songs with four-finger accompaniment. That will make the older saints drool for the good old days. Public evangelism is passé. Systematic reaping meetings are too confrontational. Besides, the evangelist might use some proof texts. Don’t ever emphasize prophecy; the public has no interest in future events. Limit evangelism to something creative: knitting evangelism, beach evangelism, golf evangelism. Eventually someone may hit their golf ball into the church parking lot. Then you’ve got them. Doctrinal pluralism will maintain church unity. The Presbyterian Church lost 1.2 million members in 21 years because it chose pluralism and became “devoid of a clear theological voice,” according to the award-winning book, The Presbyterian Controversy. But that doesn’t mean it would happen to Adventists. So just pick which of the 28 fundamental beliefs you like from our theological cafeteria. Never discipline. Families and churches are much stronger and happier without any discipline. The Gospel song was all wrong when it says, “If mercy’s all we ever show, there’s half a God they’ll never know.” Ignore the inspired writings. Ellen G. White predicted her teachings would become of “non- effect.” Make the red books the unread books. Consider her teachings devotional but not authoritative, particularly in areas of science and archeology. Remember how effective they were as “Club of the Month books.”
Jere Patzer, North Pacific Growth www.GleanerOnline.org De-emphasize the distinctives. Dean Kelley, a Methodist guest lecturer at Andrews University, KEYWORD Union Conference said, “…Tithing, the seventh-day Sabbath, foot washing, etc., are the things that make the Seventh-day Adventist Church unique, distinctive and demanding. How can the Seventh-day president, writes from Adventist Church stop growing? Be like the Methodists.” Kelley was a Methodist, so what Ridgefield, Washington. does he know about Adventists? If your church is currently not experiencing growth, or worse, has a decline in attendance, be honest. Ask some tough questions. Take this list to your next church board meeting and discuss it during the devotional time. And if any of these “suggestions” apply to your church, for heaven’s sake, change it. )TS TOO LATE IN EARTHS HISTORY TO BE JUST PLAYING CHURCH s

e’re done.” After two guaranteed adoptions fell through, they figured God had another plan. So Mike and Renee McCune got their money back and put a waterfall in the back yard. In the spring of 1999, the pastor asked Renee to organize the chil- dren’s program for his upcoming evangelistic crusade in Zimbabwe. She always dreamed of going to Africa! Would Mike go with her too? Absolutely not! But they needed someone to run the sound system. Preaching the Word falls flat unless people hear it. How could it reach their ears without amplification, and how would they amplify the sound without someone to run the system? Mike agreed a bit reluctantly, as long as Ryan, their 9-year-old son, came as well. On opening night of the evangelistic series (and every night for the next three weeks), Zimbabwean kids swarmed around the Americans. They scribbled every sermon text on any bit and scrap of paper they found; they pressed close to get a chance at touching white skin. Ryan delighted them, and they easily separated him from the group. So Renee snagged a boy out of the crowd—he spoke clear English. “Will you keep my son next to me?” “Yes,” he said. From that moment, Eddie and Ryan stuck together. Eddie, who never got in trouble, skipped school to be with Ryan. He smuggled in so many snacks and sodas for Ryan that breakfast lost all appeal. At the end of three amazing weeks, all the children gathered to say goodbye. “Family, we are family,” they sang. “Eddie,” said Renee, “if I could put you in my suitcase, I’d take you home with me.”
Eddie met Ryan in Africa in May 1999 while on a mission trip. They were inseparable and became brothers in May 2002.

It would sometimes be six months or more between abusive times. During this time he would promise that he would never hit me again. Then I could feel the tension building and know that another nightmare was just around the corner. I would try to keep everything just perfect and keep the kids quieter so he wouldn’t have an excuse to blow. I would pray and cry out to God but I felt my prayers were We were the happy, falling to the ground all around me.
