Selecting a Scriptural Church

So come to church, not to network;
But be discipled, to obey
Learn commitment, to God’s Word;
Go make disciples, in Jesus’ way.

Our, or Jesus’ Church Vision

So we’re not making disciple makers,
Few churches equipping, as they should,
Disciple-making, so rarely seen,
Instead, church spectators ‘feeling good’.

Biblical, Disciple-Making Church Models

So may our churches, now awaken,
To obey, and pray and plan,
Asking God, to raise up laborers,
Disciple-making, is Jesus’ command.

The Great Omission…The Great Commission

For as Believers, we’re all called
Disciple-Making, remains His vision
All God’s people must obey
Jesus’ strategy, His Great Commission.

Famous Churches, Yet Key Missing!

First do commit, be His disciple,
Search to be trained, equipped to go,
So at work, in school, with neighbors,
Disciple-making, from seeds that grow.

Our Call, a Disciple, a Disciple-Maker

Pray “LORD God, direct my steps,
To multiply, and reproduce,
As Your disciple, go teaching others,
Guide me LORD, whom you choose.”

‘Churchianity’ or DMM (Disciple-Making Ministry)

For our focus, as His body,
Our goal, bringing God glory,
Disciple-making, His strategy,
Equipping saints, to spread His story.

Church Dilemma…and Solution

We so need, this role-modelling
Equipping, training, how ‘tis applied
How to grow, make new Believers
Become discipled, then multiplied.

Blind-Spots in the Church

So, mentor those, faithful, available,
Also teachable, must display,
Men and women to be discipled,
Equipped for ministry, Jesus obey.

Church Traditions or Jesus’ Vision?

Equipping saints, for the ministry,
How to obey and multiply,
Mentored, trained to make disciples,
To reproduce…. will we apply?
