What's the Difference in Ownership and Membership?
The term member carries little weight or importance in our culture today. We are members at gyms, golf courses, websites, associations, and other organizations. Most memberships are painless to obtain and even easier to discard. We want people to become owners of Mystery. Members are usually just consumers, owners however are investors, they make things happen. Jesus never intended us to simply consume. We are told to love, to live, to serve, these can only happen as we give of our whole life. Ownership is a higher calling with greater responsibility than membership.
