Matthew Henry, in a sermon on the subject of the Christian home as a “little church,” said this of the nature of a church:
There are three things necessary to the well-being of a church, and which are most considerable in the constitution of it. Those are doctrine, worship and discipline; where the truths of Christ are professed and taught, the ordinances of Christ administered and observed, and due care taken to put the laws of Christ in execution among all who profess themselves his subjects, and this under the conduct and inspection of a gospel ministry; there is a church.
Are you a part of such a body of believers?
(As quoted in Family Religion, 2008, Christian Focus Publications.)
