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.
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.
Be a Bearer, not a Burden
How do you treat others
As a giver, or taker?
To unburden your load
Or to share, God’s favors?
Teaching to Know, or to Obey?
Far too often, we gather
More head knowledge, attained
But little ‘how-to’, or mentoring
So our lives, are not changed.
