Church membership is not just a status, it's an office. Leaders shouldn't fire members from the responsibilities given to them by Jesus-they should train them! When members are trained, the church grows in holiness and love, discipleship and mission. Complacency and nominalism are diminished. Jesus gives every church member an office in the church's government: to assume final responsibility for guarding the what and the who of the gospel in the church and its ministry.
