Some time ago the pastors at Grace Church gave every covenant member Thabiti Anyabwile's book, "What is a Healthy Church Member?" Though we received it many months ago, I just read it this week. :) Let me just be very clear: This is an outstanding book! Anyabwhile very simply outlines, both practically and theologically, our role as healthy church members. He encourages us, the congregation, to be theologians, to be expositional listeners, to do the work of an evangelist, to be committed, to be growing in Christ likeness, to be willing to seek the Father's discipline and recognize it is for our good as we grow in holiness, and to always be humble, people of prayer. Anyabwhile's book is a short, easy read but it is not void of the godly admonition that I, along with others in today's modern church, need to be reminded. Thank you Grace Church for encouraging us to take ownership of the Christ-centered vision of the church!
