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.
Pew Sitters or People Seekers?
But evangelists are training
To equip and show how
Watch their videos, read books
Obey God, and learn now.
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!
