Are you in a Church or a Club?

Below is a short video of John Piper talking about how the church is supposed to take care of one another.  He is spot-on in this snippet.  I would add that taking care of people should not be relegated to simply having a benevolence fund for people in need.  Benevolence funds are good, but we need to realize that we are all called to the task of taking care of one another within the church.

I am afraid there are lots of clubs out there claiming to be churches.  Take a look and the video below and give it some thought.
