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.

Discipleship or Disciple-making?

Not just missionaries, overseas
Nor pastors, evangelists
We’re each called, to reproduce
Be disciple-makers, be a catalyst.

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.

‘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.

A Corporate Church for our Corporate World?

With God’s people, compromising
Many passive, pew sitting
So, God’s ‘Royal Priesthood’
His call, are not fulfilling.
