But it doesn't mean that church membership is NOT important. We live in the age of non-commitment. We see this evident in people not being committed to their jobs, or their spouse, or their family, and it had even infiltrated our attitude toward the church. Oh, I don't have to be a member. You still serve the Lord without being committed to a church.
Many people today are afraid of commitment.
Just as God has created the institution of the family, He has also created the institution of the church, and it is time to be committed to wherever God has called you to be. If it is Fortress Church, then be committed here. If God has called you to another church, then be committed there. God calls you be part of His team . Membership is the starting point to seeing great things in your spiritual life.
