Are you a member of your local church? What do you add to your church? What gifts do you use to edify your local body of believers? If every person in the church acted like you, what kind of church would you have? If everybody in the church worshiped like you, what kind of place would it be? Would the atmosphere of the Sunday morning service be charged with enthusiasm or apathy? If every person in the church was as committed to the church, prayer meeting, or small groups as you are, what kind of church would it be? If everybody gave in proportion to their income as you gave, what would the offering be like?

These are some very uncomfortable and challenging questions. Some of you may think you’re off the hook because you’re not a member of a local church, but if you are a follower of Jesus Christ you ARE a member of THE church and you should be just as accountable as the member of the local church.

In answering the question, “What does a healthy church member look like” I know that I’m bound to leave out something so I’ll let Thabiti M. Anyabwile answer it:
* A Healthy Church Member Is an Expositional Listener
* A Healthy Church Member Is a Biblical Theologian
* A Healthy Church Member Is Gospel Saturated
* A Healthy Church Member Is Genuinely Converted
* A Healthy Church Member Is a Biblical Evangelist
* A Healthy Church Member Is a Committed Member
* A Healthy Church Member Seeks Discipline
* A Healthy Church Member Is a Growing Disciple
* A Healthy Church Member Is a Humble Follower
* A Healthy Church Member Is a Prayer Warrior

Sounds good to me? Are YOU a healthy church member?
