John Piper begins a 3-part sermon series on baptism and church membership with the question, How Important is Church Membership? Shannon and I watched this sermon last night, and it has given me a lot to think about, not only on the subjects of baptism and church membership, but also on leadership and shepherding the flock of God.
Bonus: Frank Turk responds to Piper’s sermon with a very astute and biblical observation of the type of thing Piper is talking about.
Somehow, kubecki, you should be punished for (accidentally) puting me on-par with Dr. Piper.
However, linking to me is good. You do that more often.

Well, Frank, we’ll just have to see if he brings in your Acts 19 example into the discussion in the next 2 sermons. I can’t imagine he wouldn’t.
And as far as putting you “on-par with Dr. Piper” – next time instead of a “Bonus” I’ll characterize your contribution as a footnote…

Excellent. Much better. We don’t need another hero.
