Jonathan and James explore the vital topic of church membership with guest, Jonathan Landry Cruse, pastor and author. Together, they discuss why church membership is not only a biblical principle but also a profound blessing for believers despite its imperfections.  The person who is hurt the most by the church is the one who loves her the best, and that's Jesus Christ. And even knowing the failures of his followers and future leaders in the church, he still says to his disciples, says to his believers, says to Christians, that church is the place to be. -- Jonathan Cruse Based on his new book, Church Membership, Jonathan Cruse addresses common objections and highlights the importance of commitment, accountability, and spiritual growth within the church community.  I'm not a joiner. But this is the one thing which I've always felt: I must be joined in membership to the local church. This is that one thing where membership is a must and membership matters. I think people are members of all sorts of things right now but that membership has such low-level obligations that it's just easy to transfer that mentality over into the church as well. – James Dolezal For the opportunity to win a copy of Church Membership, thanks to the generosity of P&R Publishing, enter here.    Show Notes: Church Membership by Jonathan Landry Cruse https://reformedresources.org/church-membership-hardcover/

As Indy Reformed Church plant considers a theology of worship, the group is reading and discussing Jonathan Landry Cruse's “What Happens When We Worship?”. In this episode Austin works through the first two chapters, recapping the group discussion. 

Scott Aniol interacts with Glenn Packiam's response to Hans Boersma's article on First Things, "The Liturgical Medium is the Message," and argues that both authors have a similar errant expectation that Christians ought to expect to physically experience God's manifest presence through the liturgy and music. Rather, Christians must draw near to God by faith. Scott then recommends a book that well articulates this corrective to medieval and contemporary experientialism, What Happens When We Worship by Jonathan Landry Cruse.

What are we really doing when we gather for corporate worship each week? The church as God’s temple. What Happens When We Worship? by Jonathan Landry Cruse. Corporate worship as covenant renewal.

Jonathan Landry Cruse speaks about worship. Cruse has written What Happens When We Worship (Reformation Heritage Books). Many churchgoers assume that worship is inherently boring, something we need to make exciting. But Cruse seeks to demonstrate that churchgoing only seems monotonous and mundane because our eyes are blinded to the supernatural wonder that is taking place all around us. In this conversation, we discuss the significance of worship and the elements that comprise it. This is Christ the Center episode 685 (https://www.reformedforum.org/ctc685)
