Yesterday my wife and I were welcomed into membership at Christ Presbyterian Church (OPC) in Janesville. We join several other reformed baptists who were drawn to the god-centered worship and clear gospel teaching there.
My wife was also baptized yesterday. She grew up in the Evangelical Free Church, an autonomic denom who took or left baptism as the whims of man moved them. It was a great controversy between us in the early years of our marriage. Now I am happy to report that the argument has long ended. We probably won't tell her family though, dad's a staunch Dispensational retired Free Church pastor and brother is presently an EFC pastor. We were black sheeped long ago.
So I have lost the benefits of non-membership. I will have to think before I shoot my mouth off in Sunday School and I will have to do my part in mowing the church lawn. So be it.
Seriously, it's a wonderful thing to find a good church where my children will hear the whole counsel of God and where our sanctification will be advanced through our accountability to godly men and women. I pray for those of you who are still seeking a church home. May our Lord bring a quick resoluiton to your search. Blessings!
