ReMembership
Posted on September 10, 2015 by sdgale in 'CHOP Talk' Blog.I begin each Session meeting with a devotional. September’s had to deal with holiness but ended up talking about church membership.

It posed the question, “Can a Christian watch ‘Game of Thrones’?” Not having read the books or seen the show, I’m not in a position to answer the question one way or the other.
