A temple has bricks. A flock has sheep. A vine has branches. And a body has members. Being a Christian means being joined to a church.
Church membership is a great joy and a tremendous responsibility. It means entrusting yourself to the care of leaders and listening to spiritual direction. Church membership, in a healthy church, is the boundary line between those who are in Christ and those who are not.
