“Be strong and of good courage”

And Modern Israel again
Of these words, must take heed
Yet likewise, on our journey
We too also, have need.

Why Does God Allow? Psalm 10

Why do You stand
Afar off, O LORD?
Why do You hide
Amidst troubles, outpoured?

Will You Answer God?

O how selfish, and sinful
We keep God’s Word within
Are not praying and sharing
With our world, so full of sin.

Teach us to number our days

We are given each day
For God’s glory, not mine
To obey and to please Him
For His purpose divine.

Churches Teach, but Don’t Disciple

One-on-one, in small groups
Much time, mentoring, Jesus discipled
Equipped and trained, ‘how’ to obey
To reproduce, go make disciples.

Great Faith, God is Able

Fully trusting God’s promises
With obedience to His word
Being steadfastness in prayer
By circumstances, undeterred.

His Earthen Vessels

We’re challenged, on every side
Not crushed, tho’ hard-pressed
But thro’ Jesus, not despairing
Our Great Potter, knows best.

God Permits What He Hates

Stay thankful, midst trials
See the sufferings, we face
When trusting in Jesus
Become blessings, by grace.

Be Faithful, Endure

So, be of good cheer
For Jesus has overcome
The world, the flesh and the devil
Know in Him, we have won.

Renewing the Church

Seem so few, will die to self
So ask Jesus, to start using
My life holy, be His witness
Disciple-making, reproducing.
