Our Reactions
Be not shaken, when offended;
By God’s grace, we’re so secure;
Recognizing, all are sinners;
So we forgive, thro’ Christ endure.
Churchianity or Jesus’ Christianity (Disciples Making Disciples)
So may we learn Disciple-Making;
Not forsaking, Jesus’ Command;
Calling His Followers, to reproduce;
From Churchianity, obey His plan.
The Church’s Secret
So now this secret, start obeying;
‘Disciple making’ is God’s plan;
Learn from Disciple-making movements;
Do grow and share, spread all you can.
Loving or Snubbing?
And so do choose, to be forgiving;
To let go, of negative feelings;
Be replaced by God’s grace;
Let His love, bring in us healing.
Ever Hearing….Just not Obeying!
LORD, may our churches awaken
Equip God’s people, disciple-makers
Obeying Jesus, to go forth
Not be passive, but ‘Harvest laborers.’
Addressing Leaven (How did Jesus love hypocrites?)
So, are we acting out of love?
Or busy judging, criticizing;
Fault-finding, others’ failures;
Is our motive, their sanctifying?
May Your People Rise!
Yes, pray with passion, for the people;
To grow in zeal, for the LORD;
Be surrendered, emptied vessels;
Awaiting Jesus, His Spirit poured.
Expectations, Preparations for All Believers
May churches multiply, have vision;
Equip and train, mentor God’s people;
Send them forth, to reproduce;
Not merely sat, beneath a steeple.
Will We Obey?
Yet many churches, too clergy centered
The ‘Lay-people’, passive spectators
In church activities, weekly rituals
But not discipled, equipped as laborers.
Abuse and Rejection
Took my sins and my sorrows;
All my suffering, all my shame;
All my guilt, my disgrace;
All glory, to His Name!
