In a spiritual world of quick fixes and vague emotion, is it crazy to believe there is still a place for insights based on simple, basic, theological understanding. I believe it is worth exploring.

A Touch of Humor - The Burden of Membership
What does it mean to be a member of a church? Is it important for a Christian to be one?
LOL, you knew I would say that! But seriously, I think that one should try to be a part of a local body of believers. Apart from that I do not know how one would be able to establish the relationships essential to live and love teh Christian life. That said, perhaps there are other ways?
I knew you would say that and I agree with you. I just did not know any other way to phrase the question. I think the key thing is to be a part of the community to grow together and minister to one another. How you make that work is just mechanics.
We are all members of The Church!

DeleteI think it is important to be active in a body of believers. (Our current congregation does not practice "membership."
ReplyDeleteRegardless of your theology, I don't see how one can grow without having significant interaction with other Christians.
I would agree with that and maintain that interaction is more important then having your name on a list.
