We’re Made in God’s Image

To see our purpose, to honor God
Not pursuing, fleeting pleasures
Rather living, for our LORD
Thro’ faith in Jesus, now His treasure.
When Will Churches, Equip for Ministry?

Shared God’s Word, & prayed in earnest
Obeyed, went forth, to make disciples
But modern churches, don’t multiply
Don’t see disciple-making, as vital!
Dying Churches and Denominations

Instead of “Modern Churchianity”
May we return to bible teaching,
Obeying Jesus, disciple-making,
For we are failing, rarely outreaching.
Selecting a Scriptural Church

So come to church, not to network;
But be discipled, to obey
Learn commitment, to God’s Word;
Go make disciples, in Jesus’ way.
The ‘Church Growth Movement’ Failure

Rather persistent, prayer and fasting,
Based on God’s Word, to pour His Spirit,
To equip, start making disciples,
Cry unto God, “Our church come fill it”.
Why Many Churches Are Closing

Not endless rows, of pew spectators,
Passive, unaccountable, few partakers,
Instead of church routines, traditions,
Learn to train, disciple-makers.
Jesus’ Command…Will Churches Obey?

So may church leaders, see beyond,
Customs, traditions, familiar ways,
To awaken, to Jesus’ command,
Learn disciple-making, and obey.
Degrees or Disciple-Makers?

Discipling ministries, now growing,
Teach to equip, train ‘man-to-man’,
May we too, obey Jesus,
Go reach all nations, with His plan.
Biblical, Disciple-Making Church Models

So may our churches, now awaken,
To obey, and pray and plan,
Asking God, to raise up laborers,
Disciple-making, is Jesus’ command.
Famous Churches, Yet Key Missing!

First do commit, be His disciple,
Search to be trained, equipped to go,
So at work, in school, with neighbors,
Disciple-making, from seeds that grow.
