‘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.
Pew Sitting, or Disciple Making?

So pray God, stir our churches
Seminaries, bible schools
Learn the ‘how-to’, of disciple-making
Outside the classroom… spread Good News.
Be His Faithful Witness

May our praying be persistent
And thro’ our going, and giving
Make disciples and teach them
Obey God’s Word, in daily living.
Who Runs Your Church?

So pray, that ‘sitting’ churches
Obey Jesus, ‘tis His will
Daily outreach, reproducing
His Great Commission, to fulfill.
Shame on Us!

Let us go forth, and obey
A fear of God, not man
Follow Jesus, His commands
His Great Commission, His plan.
Are Our Churches Failing?

Jesus offered them hardship
No entertainment, nor bands
Heavenly rewards, awaiting
As we obey, His commands.
