Our Spiritual ‘Nursery’
Our spiritual foundation
Our life purpose, our soul
Are so molded by our ‘nursery’
By their focus and goals.
Adding or Multiplying?
Sadly, leaders look to adding
Are not mentoring, disciple-making
With a vision, to reproduce
‘Fishers of men’…in the making.
A Church Leader’s Vision
For despite, our church meetings
Jesus’ vision, is not progressing
Not faithful pew-sitters
But disciple-makers, spreading.
A Fellowship on Fire
Most depend on their pastor
For their ‘weekly bread’
The band, and kid’s programs
And they’re feeling fed.
Teaching to Know, or to Obey?
Far too often, we gather
More head knowledge, attained
But little ‘how-to’, or mentoring
So our lives, are not changed.
Sterile Churches
Yet, how many pastors
Or leaders go out
Daily witness, make disciples
Spread the gospel about?
Soil Inspection
Jesus’ Word, is like seed
In four soils, can be found
Some wayside, some stony
Amidst thorns, or good ground.
Send Showers of Blessing
We are desperate for blessings
Need anointing, outpouring
With multitudes dead in sin
LORD revive, start restoring!
Revivals or Make Disciples?
Our cultures evolving like atheism of old with no place for God, just old lies, retold.
Rescued
And our lives, like the vessel
May so easily seem lost
Know Jesus, can save us
With His life, paid the cost.
