Church Membership

One topic/subject I want to grow in is Church Membership.
Below is a very good discussion on Church Membership & Jonathan Leeman’s book, The Church and the Surprising Offense of God’s Love. Jonathan Leeman, Matt Schmucker, John Folmar and Mark Dever gather to talk about this book and the subject of church membership.

Here is a quote from the book.
"The consumeristic mindset, the multiplicity of options, and the worry of buyers remorse, hinders people from making commitments in everything from jobs, to spouses, to restaurants, to houses. Commitment binds us. And in a culture where the maximization of short term pleasure is a premium, binding commitments are threatening. Binding commitments are made to prevent individuals from living by caprice and fancy. They are freedom curtailing. They are pleasure postponing."
