I'm reading a book by Jonathan Leeman entitled, Church Membership. In the first chapter he likens the local church to a nations embassy, meaning that the church is the embassy of the Kingdom of God. When people walk into an embassy, they are walking into the nation which that embassy represents.
This means that people don't come to church as customers at an entertainment venue. They come because they are citizens of the Kingdom and in the Embassy they meet with fellow citizens to enjoy the benefits of citizenship and hear what the King has declared.
This book is changing my view of church.
