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.

@espinoza_dy @KayMT83 Read everything by Bridges. Pursuit of Holiness and Trusting God are two of the best.

If one will not admit wrongdoing for promoting Nazism, there is no wrongdoing one will admit to. Let the reader understand.

@NatePickowicz 💯Said the very same thing on Sunday as I preached on Ephesians 6:18-20.

@AdamPage85 As an RB pastor in NS, I can sadly confirm that 5-10 is entirely accurate.

@Ebastos Chills!

@JoshuaBarzon I enjoyed your stuff at first, but will be moving on in light of your recent move towards engagement farming type posts like this one. No hate whatsoever, just thought you might want to know.

[Sean Crowe @ESeanCrowe]

I am not gonna repost the post in question, as it is just way too disgusting, but needless to say, if you are a @Hellofresh customer, it is time to find a new meal delivery service.

The rare occasion when I agree with @RScottClark 😂

[R. Scott Clark @RScottClark]

The Reformed Churches offered better advice. Look for one with the marks of the true church:

1) The pure preaching of the gospel;

2) The pure administration of the sacraments;

3) The use of church discipline.

[Sean Crowe @ESeanCrowe]

@NatePickowicz Would love it if you did, but I understand.

[Sean Crowe @ESeanCrowe]

@Flavia_SBastos Yes, that is most certainly one thing according to 1 Thessalonians 4:3 - "For this is the will of God, your sanctification."

Sometimes life is hard and I wonder what God is doing. That's it. That's the tweet.

For what does it profit your child to gain…

•A spot on the travel team
•The tournament trophy
•The full-ride scholarship
•A high-paying career

…and lose his own soul?

Parent with eternity in mind.

Happy Lord's Day, everyone! Bless God and be blessed!

Just say "no" to Hillsong!

[Imprecatory Psalms for Dads and Malms @ImprecatoryOne]

If your church is singing Hillsong, or you’re streaming Hillsong, you’re funding this enormous pension for the disgraced former pastor.

I do not believe anything the Canadian government says, and that is on them as they have been anything but trustworthy these past 6 years. I will submit to them so much as I can, because God's Word commands me to, but I will not trust them. That is simply a bridge too far.

[Sean Crowe @ESeanCrowe]

Not a church.

[Drea Humphrey @DreaHumphrey]

UNBELIEVABLE:

A United “Church” in Richmond BC, is inviting people to learn more about assisted suicide. Warming them up just ahead of Canada’s eugenic-friendly plan to expand MAiD to people solely with mental illness.

Isaiah 5:20, the scripture describing a morally bankrupt society comes to mind.
