Commitment to the Local Church

[Matt McCarnan]

Joshua Harris' popular book, Stop Dating the Church, encourages churchgoers to choose one church to be faithful to attend, eager to serve, and enthusiastic to promote. He calls for a general re-dedication to local church ministry, for a new passion to forward the Gospel through the local church.

What is your reasoning?
