Hey John,

Thanks for the update on your church situation. I think you've done rightly so far and would like to see what the pastor thinks of your response to the "requests" for members after he has had more time to reflect. It is good to be a member of a local church, but if the local church is really attempting to bind members with unbiblical regulations, it may be better not to be a member. Your concerns are legitimate and I hope the elders see that.

Kyle

I tell you, this man went down to his house justified.
