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.

Blind Spots

Denying, defending
Denouncing as true
Each weakness and failure
God points out to you?

Church Leaders in Disciple-Making?

So let us focus, on Jesus’ mission
Train in outreach, disciple-making
Equip the saints, reach the world
Role modeling, and mentoring!
