| Description:
To Be or Not To Be A Church Member?, that is the
Question!
Should you commit yourself to membership in a local
church?
Isn't just being a Christian enough?
Anyhow, where does the Bible say that we have to
become members of a church ... why can't I just attend and get involved?
These are very important questions that demand an
answer, especially in the "casual age" that we're living in. Dr. Wayne
Mack brings his years of experience as a Bible teacher, pastor and
counselor to this very controversial topic. His answers are
straightforward and clear:
YES! You must become a church member if you're to
be obedient to Our Lord Jesus Christ and the clear teaching of the New
Testament. NO! Being a "lone wolf" Christian is not enough; you must
join with a local body of believers in a church that teaches sound
doctrine. NO! You cannot just "attend and get involved" without the
benefit of church membership; you must have church elders that can guide
you, and that you must submit to.
Dr. Mack thus argues conclusively and clearly for
church membership. This is a book all Christians should read, whether
members or non-members of a local church - and one that every pastor
should hand out to his congregation!
Dr. Wayne A. Mack is a graduate of Wheaton College,
Philadelphia Seminary, and Westminster Theological Seminary. He has also
been involved in extensive graduate studies at several graduate schools
and is Adjunct Professor of Biblical Counseling at The Master's College,
