Hope you check out today's devotional "Listening" below.

I wanted to provide you with some reading material. I mentioned Sunday that one description of the missional church is that "membership matters." My friend Rick Thompson, pastor at Council Road Baptist Church near OKC has written several articles about church membership that I hope you'll read. So far, there are three parts. He may add more, so check back in the future. I'll link his blog (The Road We Travel) over on the right. Here are the links to the articles: Part One here. Part Two here. Part Three here.

Rick and I are meeting for lunch tomorrow to dialogue about this very thing. Hope you'll read up.
