Publisher's Description

Should you commit yourself to membership in a local church? Isn't just being a Christian enough? Dr. Wayne Mack brings his years 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.

To Be or Not to Be a Church Member? That Is the Question! 5 5 2 2

Be Biblically Informed!!! As a pastor, I am sometimes taken aback by the ignorance of some professing to be Christians, concerning the "necessity" of belonging to a local Christian assemblege. Wayne Mack does a great job of taking us through a portion in his book on the "one anothering commands" in Holy Scripture. To all would be "lone rangers" Jesus died for individuals, this is true, however, He also died for HIS church. Great little read!! July 12, 2012

Commitment - that's a scary word for many who long for lone ranger freedom or who have been burned by a bad experience. But Wayne Mack shows that no Christian should be without commitment to a local church. This book is helpful to those considering the Biblical reasons to become (or not become) a church member. Mack builds a sound case that you can't be a good Christian (obedient to the commands of Christ) without formal commitment for your local church. Mack's analysis is throughly Biblical. He has written helpful thought-provoking application questions at the end of each chapter. It is a short, easy to read, and full of solid content. I believe that it would also be helpful to members - reminding them why they've become members. I highly recommend it. See also Mack's book "Life in the Father's House". June 15, 2010
