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.

Next time you read through the Bible notice how big of a deal it is to be thankful and not complain. It shows up many times in the Old and New Testament.

I say this as someone who often catches myself complaining and has to intentionally be thankful. But I suspect this is true for most of us.

In Scripture, it’s not just an issue of, “Don’t complain and be thankful because you’ll be a happier person and people will like you more.” Though I do think that’s true and actually is affirmed in Scripture.

Still, there is a LOT more. The issue of gratitude versus complaining shows up in God’s judgment of Israel on multiple occasions. It’s part of the general condemnation of mankind in Romans 1. This shows that it is an issue of great consequence and even a sin/righteousness issue.

We often think of gratitude as an unforced attitude that just sort of happens to us. As if it originates in our emotions and we must wait on them to produce it as we are passive participants in being thankful. It would be very disempowering to think that thankfulness works this way. Thankfully (pun intended) this is not the case. While some gratitude rises spontaneously with a thrust of emotion, we are free to simply choose to be thankful at any and all times. This is how the Bible can command us to be thankful, just as it commands us to do all things without complaining.

I still have a long way to go in applying all this to my own life. But I see how important it is and realize that just as it’s a choice to refuse to complain (here I mean complaining in a bad sense because not all complaining is evil) it is a choice to be thankful. And, in Christ, we have more than enough reasons to be thankful no matter what else is going on in our lives.

Thank God for his grace, love, patience, promise of eternal life, sovereign plan to work all things together for good, for the wonderful taste of food, the blessing of friendships, the invention of smiles and laughter, pets, a nice breeze on a hot day, old wise people in our lives, electricity, and every good and perfect gift that we enjoy far too often in the absence of gratitude.
