Relationships and Our Heart

So may our hearts, love God and people
God, daily search me, know my heart
Reveal all barriers, or wicked ways
Cleanse, transform me, a new start.

Church Leadership Ingredients

Look beyond, gifting and training
To know their heart, motivation
A vessel, wholly dedicated?
Or tainted needing, more consecration?

A Loveless Marriage?

A marriage, run dry
The tank, now on empty
Warm feelings, run cold
Though once, love was plenty.

God’s Design for Marriage

God calls us together
In Christ, become one
Through Him, learn to love
That our marriage be won.

Why Does God Allow? Psalm 10

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

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.

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.

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.
