A slave of sin or Christ Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

Church Leadership Ingredients

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

The One offering Himself
As our Passover Lamb
Atoned for our sin
Will we trust Him, or man?

So, choose forgiveness and love
For God’s truth, sets us free
From old attitudes, reactions
Call on Jesus, to Him flee.

So dear saint, do surrender
His Word and Spirit, alone obey
Not the world, the flesh, the devil
All on His altar, fully lay.

For Jesus only, our Creator
Living in us, He can supply
His grace, ever sufficient
Simply trust Him, and abide.

Then in place of merely drifting
If His child, and we obey
Seek His Word and His Spirit
Be transformed, by Christ each day.

So, let us daily cry out
Submit our all, on His altar
All our love, and loyalty
Yield to Jesus, may we not falter.

So, life is not random ‘luck’
God knows our will and ways
Sees our heart’s intent
God decides our lot, always.

So our heart, we must examine
Must guard, keep sealed
To be healthy, not hardened
Circumcised, not diseased.

Well, I don’t mind a dog
Be it Collie or Beagle
But I’m sad for this driver
Who prefers dogs to people.
