"This book addresses important issues regarding the church and church membership. It is a timely book. In our day, many tend to view the church as an institution that almost anyone can join, where there are few expectations and not much accountability. In contrast, Earl Blackburn presents the biblical truth that the church is a living organism whose goal is to reflect the life of our Lord in its membership. You will be blessed, enriched, and challenged as you carefully explore this investigative work." Wayne DuBose, Director of Missions, Northwest Louisiana Baptist Association
