Be God’s Gardener
We’re to sow and to reap
God’s harvest of souls
Disciple-making movements
Multiplication, God’s goal.
Study ‘Disciple Making Movements’
So, ‘Disciple Making Movements’ study
Learn of their tools, and techniques
How they obeyed, Jesus’ vision
Were faithful, and how they reap.
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’- 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.
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.
