Trembles at My Word Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

Renewing the Church

Seem so few, will die to self
So ask Jesus, to start using
My life holy, be His witness
Disciple-making, reproducing.

Yet sadly, churches look at numbers
In the pews, or at home gazing
Churches failing, how to mentor
Evangelizing, disciple making.

So, instead of Truth and Light
Are facing judgment, and perdition
Pray these scoffers, blind and lost
Repent and trust Jesus, His mission.

Don’t harden your heart
Staying stubborn, defiant
With grievances, grudges
Hard-headed, self-reliant.

But then sadly, he succumbed
Asked for earrings, from his plunder
Israel gave him much gold
He made an ephod, an evil blunder.

So instead, of self-approval
Or seek approval, of others
Know, we’re created for God
For His approval, not another.

The fool says in his heart
There is no God
Who declares them corrupt
Abominable… none does good?

Start a fire, LORD we ask
And burn up the dross
Great repentance and turning
Before yet more, are lost.

The fear of the LORD
Is the beginning of wisdom
But fools, despise God
His rule, and His kingdom.

So, listen with faith
Trusting God cannot fail
For in wisdom and love
He will always prevail.
