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.

‘Church’- Equip the Saints or ‘Seeker Friendly’?

So may church leaders, obey
Begin equipping the saints
For the work of the ministry
‘Fishers of men,’ to create.

Understanding Cultures, Beliefs

That we share, most effectively
Are understood, not just heard
Connecting, relating
Fruitfully, sharing God’s Word.

Church Meetings…what of Daily Missions?

Equip the saints, for the work
And see, lost souls be saved
Go forth, disciple-making
Do the ministry, Jesus gave.

Jesus’ Commission, or Western Traditions?

So may our churches, Bible Schools
Seminaries, obey Jesus’ mission
Start equipping, train ALL Believers
To fulfill, Jesus’ Great Commission.

Seminaries or Cemeteries?

So, in place of ‘higher learning’
Seminaries, Bible schools
We should focus, on Jesus’ command
On ‘Disciple-making,’ we can’t improve.
