“It may well be that we have done great hurt to the church by letting people think that church membership need not make so very much difference. We ought to tell them that it should make all the difference in the world. We might have fewer people; but those we had would be really pledged to Christ.”
(William Barclay, The Gospel of Luke, commenting on Luke 9:57-62, 131)
"Lord Jesus Christ, the Head, please help us members of Your Church recover and practice meaningful church membership, not merely the institutional church but the local and universal church. Amen."
