Only Three Years
So, He trained and role-modeled
Not spectators, but partakers
As He discipled His followers
To be faithful, disciple-makers.
Missing in Churches?…Making Disciple-Makers
While many churches, think revival
Are not equipping and training
How to go, make new disciples
That go forth, disciple-making.
Spiritual Reproduction
So are our churches, today
Filled with saints, on fire?
Discipled, and out sharing
Making disciples, as required?
Jesus’ Mission for All
Yet in many, local churches
Few are discipled, equipped
‘How to’ witness, make disciples
This instead, largely skipped.
Bible Teaching is not Disciple-Making
So, in place of passive people
Equip the saints to labor
Disciple making, multiplying
Obey, bring glory to the Savior.
Completing the Reformation
Luther’s reformation fell short
Some key teaching, forsaking
Overlooked Jesus’ Commission
Equipping saints, for disciple-making.
Teaching the Multitude, Training the Few
Not more passive pew-sitters
But Jesus vision, and power
Make multiplying, disciple-makers
‘Tis the need of our hour.
Church Leadership Goals
Jesus’ means, of building churches
Equip our saints, disciple making
Spiritual reproduction, multiplying
May our leaders, start awakening.
A Hunger for God, and for Souls
So, daily hunger for God
For hungry souls, that yearn
To follow Jesus, and multiply
A fruitful harvest, in return.
Understanding Cultures, Beliefs
That we share, most effectively
Are understood, not just heard
Connecting, relating
Fruitfully, sharing God’s Word.
