Faith amidst Trials
For our testing and trial
Are to strengthen our trust
As He bids us, to believe
All to Him, entrust.
A Corporate Church for our Corporate World?
With God’s people, compromising
Many passive, pew sitting
So, God’s ‘Royal Priesthood’
His call, are not fulfilling.
Understanding Cultures, Beliefs
That we share, most effectively
Are understood, not just heard
Connecting, relating
Fruitfully, sharing God’s Word.
Be Secure in God’s Love
For His love in Christ Jesus
Our Lord, is love eternal
We are forever, in His hand
More than secure, His love encircles.
Are We Poor in Spirit?
Are we humble and lowly
Or proud, self-serving
Are exalting ourself
Or submissive, subserving?
Poor in Spirit?
Are so weary of self
All the efforts you make
Self-reliance, self-ambitions
All fleshly, vain mistakes.
Assessing Health of our Churches
Yes, we’ve preaching and teaching
But few were taught disciple making
May feed the poor and needy
But few churches, are reproducing.
Jesus’ Be-Attitudes
Jesus taught how to be
In our attitudes, our nature
What to strive for, as goals
Become like our Creator.
Who is to Blame?
So, acknowledge our blame
Whenever, we succumb
To wrong lusts, and desires
Repent, seeking God’s Son.
Psalm 1 – The Righteous and Wicked
He shall be like a tree
Planted by rivers of water
Brings forth fruit, in its season
Whose leaf shall not wither.
