If you love Jesus you should love what Jesus loves, and that ultimately means you should be an official, active, and serving member of your local church (Eph. 5:25).

Church membership should be normal for Christians. Lives lived in regular accountability demonstrate the gospel’s reality to the world, particularly through the mutual love that Jesus identified as the mark of his followers. This is both biblical and strengthens evangelistic witness. Weaker and newer Christians gain feeding and accountability through membership, and mature and seasoned believers demonstrate authentic Christian living.

Hebrews calls believers to “consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works,” explicitly warning against forsaking assembly “as the manner of some is” (Heb. 10:24–25). This suggests participation isn’t optional but essential to spiritual health.

Church membership preserves biblical truth by establishing who bears responsibility for rooting out false teaching and protecting the gospel when leadership itself becomes compromised. Paul’s letter to the Galatians exemplifies this. I say this as a positional elder in my church — Paul appealed to the whole congregation rather than leadership alone to address doctrinal corruption. Think about it: how are you to “bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ” (Gal 6:2), which positions mutual care as a central Christian obligation, if you’re not actively in a membership role? Thessalonians similarly exhorts believers to “encourage one another and build one another up” (1 Thess 5:11), framing encouragement as a reciprocal responsibility that requires presence and investment.

Healthy membership equips believers to recognize heresy when taught or communicated and transforms them from passive consumers into active defenders of the faith.

Acts depicts the early church persevering in apostolic teaching, communion, and gathering daily, with believers holding possessions in common (Acts 2:42–47), a portrait of intensive communal engagement rather than individual isolated devotion or nominal affiliation.

Ultimately, practicing membership glorifies God as Christians gather to form his body, living under the life giving words of scripture, fellowshipping with one another sacrificially, and reflecting his character.

You can either be a communist or a Christian. You cannot be both.

Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.?

Because we gave them that L in 1776.

@DavidAFrench You are such a duplicitous sellout. It was certainly not the vision of the founders.

Nor was it the vision of those who drafted and ratified the 14th amendment. Is there anything you won’t lie about anymore?

[Joshua Gamboa @JoshuaEGamboa]

@TanneriteCortez This is so accurate

@SteveDeaceShow This is the best tweet of the day, well done sir 😂

I like Jon Harris AND Joel Webbon.

I trust and respect both these men despite myriad disagreements.

I avow Ogden and still like much of what Moscow is doing.

I left high school in 2009 and I’ve got too little time and too much to accomplish before they throw dirt in my face to be worried about turf wars or who I’m “allowed” to like or be friends with.

I want all these guys to keep fighting the fight for the Church and our Nation.

I draw the lines where I see fit and as my conscience dictates.

I avow my friends and denounce my enemies.

If anyone isn’t upset at this point, please let me know and I’ll work to fix that in the comments.

[Michael Foster @thisisfoster]

One of the more frustrating trends online is watching people reduce every disagreement to a false binary.

You’re expected to pick a side between two tribes rather than two arguments. And if you suggest that both sides are wrong in important ways, or that the issue should be framed differently altogether, you’re mocked with labels like “third wayism.”

It’s a rhetorical tactic, a way to pressure people into choosing between loose coalitions of personalities and talking points rather than carefully evaluating the issue itself. Truth becomes secondary to team membership.

[Megan Basham @megbasham]

He helped bring about what happened last night. Ask yourself, why was he so vociferous about expanding the Muslim population through immigration? Why was he so committed to seeing as many mosques as possible built? Why was he the only evangelical leader specifically labeled a “grantee” in George Soros’ Open Society board books?

[William Wolfe 🇺🇸 @WilliamWolfe]

Preaching collective blood guilt based on the “asset” of “white skin” that you “don’t deserve” isn’t “just biblical”

It’s quite anti-biblical, actually

[Joshua Gamboa @JoshuaEGamboa]

@JustinPetersMin I think @NickJFreitas and @johnlovell275 do not fit your critique.

I understand your frustration and you’ve been a stalwart example to me for many years, but John doesn’t have to turn in his man card, he’s from 2/75. Nick might have to though, he’s an SF guy so….

[Joshua Gamboa @JoshuaEGamboa]

@JoshDaws @theblaze Praise God!!!!! Congratulations!!!!

[Joshua Gamboa @JoshuaEGamboa]

@JoshDaws It was never my thing, I totally see the appeal though.

[Joshua Gamboa @JoshuaEGamboa]

@plainrunner2 Ordered!

[Joshua Gamboa @JoshuaEGamboa]

@plainrunner2 Absolutely, I’ll check out your book as well brother.

[Joshua Gamboa @JoshuaEGamboa]

@JoshDaws That is really really good
