What does it mean that the church is the bride of Christ?
When a writer makes an analogy he seeks to draw out truths about one thing by drawing out its similarities to the known qualities of the thing to which it is compared. If I say, “Life is like a roller-coaster” … Continue reading

How Does a Church Develop a Sense of Community?

Why does the church meet together? Questions on the Church
When the Bible commands of us that we not forsake the gathering together of the saints (Hebrew 10:25) it tells us that we are required to attend regular services. While I may attend to the question of why God commands … Continue reading

How often should we observe the Lord’s Supper?
Never. If, however, you want to know how often we ought to celebrate the Lord’s Supper, that’s a whole different matter. For which the answer is, weekly, at the very least. What’s the difference between observing and celebrating? The former … Continue reading

Why is it important to be a member of a local church?
While it is true enough that the concept of the invisible or universal church has its place, that place is not where a believer can hold membership. The Word of God calls on us to not forsake the gathering together … Continue reading

What’s the ideal size for a local church?
The Bible doesn’t say. So neither will I. I will concede that different sizes have differing advantages and disadvantages. We live in the era of the mega-church. Churches that measure their membership in the thousands are positioned to support many … Continue reading

Are believers justified by their election?
Of course not. The way some of my fellow Reformed folk talk at times it might seem some think so. The way some non-Reformed folk talk at times, it might seem that they think we think this. But we don’t. … Continue reading
