Church Membership

Every Christian needs the strength which membership gives, and which follows a profession of faith. He needs the advice and support of other Christians. Being known as a Christian, he escapes temptations which would otherwise try him. Evil men let him alone, and good men encourage him. Being planted in the house of the Lord, he grows every day in strength. He is in the way of sanctification; he is in the place where God reveals himself. A Christian not in the church is a child without a home. He knows nothing of its protection, or of its enjoyments.--Anon
