Assessing Health of our Churches

Yes, we’ve preaching and teaching
But few were taught disciple making
May feed the poor and needy
But few churches, are reproducing.

Sealed by God’s Spirit

Know if trusting, believing
The gospel of Jesus’ salvation
By the pledge, of His Spirit
We are sealed, His new creation!

Full of Self, or God’s Glory?

We have one life on earth
How will it be spent
Self-effort, self- sufficient
Or lived, as God meant?

‘Self’…My Old Nature

So now repentant, trusting Him
Born anew, from above
We are now, His own possession
Redeemed, by Jesus’ love.

Be Dead to Sin

Our repentance, often shallow
More remorse, and regret
Not turning and fleeing
From pet sins, that beset.

Be Steadfast

So do pray, that our hearts
Remain steadfast, unmoved
Walk by faith, not feelings
In Christ, wholly approved.

By God’s Spirit

By Your Spirit, I’m reborn
By Your Spirit, empower
By Your Spirit, do direct
By Your Spirit, overpower.

Be Led of God’s Spirit

By constant prayer, keep seeking
Lest we wander, and fall
Ever dependent, await
God’s Word and wisdom, in all.

A Godly Wife

With death to self-will
The way of the Cross
By grace submit all
With the Lord, ‘tis not loss.

Walk with the Lord

Take hold of me, LORD
Completely possess
Come fill every part
Transform me, and bless.
