C.S. Lewis once wrote an essay on church membership, reminding us that the word “membership” is of Christian origin, but it has been taken over by the world and emptied of all its original meaning. Today, most people associate the term “membership” with paying dues, meaningless rituals, rules and handshakes, & having your name on the roll. Paul, however, had a very different image of membership. To him, being a member of the church did not refer to some cold induction into an institution. Rather, it meant becoming a vital organ of a living body (see Romans 12:4-5; I Corinthians 6:15; I Corinthians 12:12-27). Any organ that is detached from the body will not only miss what it was created to be, it will also shrivel and die quickly. The same is true for Christians that are uncommitted to any specific congregation.
