Is the Modern Church Biblical?

Since the church, is Christ’s body
We’re His temple, a living stone
But, seems modern church goals
Miss disciple making, so little known.

Evolving, Dissolving or Disciple-Making Church?

With each discipled, taught abiding
To learn obeying, go make disciples
Teaching them, disciple-making
To reach the nations, pray for revivals.

Churches are not Equipping

Instead equip, the saints for ministry
To train them for outreach
For the work of the ministry
To multiply, so all are reached.

New Testament Churches

Equipped the saints, disciple making
As God’s Word, obeyed, applied
Just as Jesus, with His disciples
They went forth, and multiplied.

Many Pastors are Panicking

Not passive spectators
Sitting silent, just staring
But God’s Word applying
Reproducing, all were sharing.

Churchianity or Christianity?

We’re not equipping, with ‘how-to’
Nor teaching, Jesus’ way
Not mentoring, role-modeling
Not reproducing, to obey.

Modern Churches versus Home Churches

Yet Jesus left us, His great Commission
God’s strategy, to reach the world
Make disciples, not pew sitters
Teach them obey, His every word.

Jesus’ Commission, or Men’s Traditions?

If church planting or growing
Need both teaching, disciple training
Use Jesus’ template, to multiply
As we are sadly, sitting and failing.

How Jesus Disciples

From God’s Word, we also find
Discipleship is reproducing
Be wholly yielding, and outreaching
Not just head knowledge, but observing.

Gathering AND Going?

So focus not, on just the gatherings
But go like Jesus, disciple training
Mentored His followers, to reproduce
Obey His Commission, go disciple-making!
