“Wyman Richardson, a gifted writer, is sounding an alarm regarding unregenerate church membership that is worthy of our attention… His practical guidance… is sure to be helpful to pastors and laity alike who are serious about a regenerate church membership.” (Dr. J. Robert White)
What the church needs is a call to rethink the life of the local church in light of the New Testament teaching on regenerate church membership. This book opens by taking a hard look at common problems in modern church practice, tracing how many churches have drifted from a clear biblical understanding of what the church is meant to be.
From there, Richardson turns to Scripture to rebuild that foundation. He walks through the New Testament’s teaching on the church—its metaphors, the meaning of membership, the word ekklesia, and the “one another” commands that shape the daily life of God’s people. The emphasis throughout is on a church made up of those who truly profess faith in Christ and live in visible commitment to Him and His body.
The final section moves into practical steps for reform, showing how churches can begin to realign their membership and practice with the pattern of Scripture. It is both a diagnosis and a roadmap, aimed at helping churches recover a more faithful and orderly understanding of what it means to live together as the people of God.
