Here's a great article explaining the biblical nature of church membership by Pastor Matt Chandler. Like him, I grew up in a church context that did not emphasize membership. I had many of the same questions that he had regarding church membership. If you aren't committed to a church, this article will gently explain the biblical call to "submit" to a local church. We don't like commitment in our modern world, but let me say it is a true blessing to belong to a local church.

Right away I think of Psalm 92 and how we flourish when planted in God's house. Second, I think of how families suffer when members have a non-commital attitude.
