Our Spiritual ‘Nursery’

Our spiritual foundation
Our life purpose, our soul
Are so molded by our ‘nursery’
By their focus and goals.

Adding or Multiplying?

Sadly, leaders look to adding
Are not mentoring, disciple-making
With a vision, to reproduce
‘Fishers of men’…in the making.

A Church Leader’s Vision

For despite, our church meetings
Jesus’ vision, is not progressing
Not faithful pew-sitters
But disciple-makers, spreading.

A Fellowship on Fire

Most depend on their pastor
For their ‘weekly bread’
The band, and kid’s programs
And they’re feeling fed.

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 Secret Place

We must seek God, alone
In the quietness, and pray
Ask God, to guide us
To draw near, every day.

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.
