‘Fishing’ or ‘Sitting’ Churches?
So pray, that ‘sitting’ churches
Obey Jesus, ‘tis His will
Daily outreach, reproducing
His Great Commission, to fulfill.
Agape Love
Though we love to be loved
If despised, love abides
For agape love, is of God
And such love overrides.
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.
Until They All Hear
Sow seed to multiply
Do lead, among seekers
Good soil, bearing fruit
Disciple-makers, not just Believers.
The Faithful Worker
So be steadfast, immovable
Always abound, and remain
In the work of the LORD
Know your labor’s, not in vain.
The Cup, the Cross, the Crown
So, do drink your cup
Trust God, and obey
He is with you, midst sufferings
Know He’s present, always.
The Cost of Salvation
Yet, He bids us to follow
We must take up, our cross
Abide in Him daily
Count all things as loss.
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.
Sterile Churches
Yet, how many pastors
Or leaders go out
Daily witness, make disciples
Spread the gospel about?
