Where are the Equipping Churches?

We’re not equipping the saints
For the work of the ministry
Instead our focus, polished preaching
Yet, we’re not coming to His unity.

God’s Biblical Vision for Our Churches: Maintaining or Multiplying?

For God’s glory, not man’s controlling;
But our churches, be multiplying;
Equip the saints, to reproduce;
From our meetings, start applying.

What Are Churches Producing?

So, in place of passive sitters;
Stop repeating, and mistaking;
Follow Jesus, in His steps;
Learn and teach, disciple-making.

Our Vision-Adding or Multiplying?

For we’re not seeing, Jesus’ vision;
The Great Commission, multiplying;
Need disciple makers, not ‘spectators’;
Yet sadly churches, aren’t applying.

Have Churches Lost Their Way?

Instead of Jesus’ plan, ‘Go forth’;
Most churches center, on us sitting;
Disciple-making, so neglected ;
Jesus’ Commission, largely missing.

A Missing Church Ingredient

Yes now, church leaders may learn;
Disciple-making, multiplying;
How to equip, and train disciples;
So do obey, and start applying.

“The Church of Equipping” : Disciple-Making

With the goal, to build up others,
All be accountable, committing,
All be equipped, for work of ministry,
Not just passive, pew sitting.

From Misery, to Mercy, to Multiplying

We’re not saved, to sit in church,
But go forth, and serve. Be equipped, to make disciples,
Called to go, not just observe.

Jesus’ Vision, for His Church

While God’s call, to all His people
To be His witness, to introduce
Be ever praying and obeying
We are to spiritually reproduce.

Outcome of Our Spiritual Childhood

So as leaders, learn discipling
Disciple-making, to reproduce
And saints, dear pew sitters
Get discipled, with no excuse!
