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.
Understanding Cultures, Beliefs
That we share, most effectively
Are understood, not just heard
Connecting, relating
Fruitfully, sharing God’s Word.
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.
Who Runs Your Church?
So pray, that ‘sitting’ churches
Obey Jesus, ‘tis His will
Daily outreach, reproducing
His Great Commission, to fulfill.
‘Fishing’ or ‘Sitting’ Churches?
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.
