Believing also involves belonging. Being a Christian, by definition, involves belonging to the church.<\/p>\n<p>This is not a book full of ideas about how your church ought to change or what it needs to do in order to grow or to be successful. Rather it is about how we fit into our own church. There are hallmarks of church life that should be stamped on all our churches because they are applicable everywhere and anywhere \u2014 New Testament values for any size of church, in any part of the world, at any time.<\/p>\n<p><em>Devoted to God\u2019s Church<\/em> will serve to help new Christians understand what it is to be part of a church, and will also be a refreshing reminder to every Christian of what it should look like to belong to the family of God.<\/p>\n<h2>Reviews<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/musicgoon.tumblr.com\/post\/637509544034140160\/book-review-devoted-to-gods-church-by-sinclair\">Book review by Aaron Lee<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.9marks.org\/review\/book-review-devoted-to-gods-church-by-sinclair-ferguson\/\">Book review by Mark Redfern <strong>(9marks)<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"toctoggle\">Table of Contents <a class=\"button\" href=\"#toc\">Expand \u2193<\/a><\/h3>\n<div id=\"toc\" class=\"table-of-contents\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"22\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"557\">Introduction<\/td>\n<td width=\"37\">ix<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"22\">1.<\/td>\n<td width=\"557\">Family Life OR What Is a Church?<\/td>\n<td width=\"37\">1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"22\">2.<\/td>\n<td width=\"557\">What Is Your Story?
