A Missing Church Ingredient

Yes now, church leaders may learn;
Disciple-making, multiplying;
How to equip, and train disciples;
So do obey, and start applying.

With the goal, to build up others,
All be accountable, committing,
All be equipped, for work of ministry,
Not just passive, pew sitting.

For our faith, is in our LORD,
Not in those answers, we favor.
Recall, He is our loving God.
We are of dust, He’s our Creator.

We’re ever craving, to be loved;
Fish for compliments, approval;
Ever wanting to feel wanted;
So insecure, fear disapproval.

With now our body, His Temple
Glorify God, in all He gives
Our soul, belongs to God.
By His Spirit, our spirit lives.

Are we carnal and fleshly
Walk by faith, or by sight?
By our lusts, sensual desires
Live by instincts, appetites?

So teach us to number
Our days, that we gain
Grant us, a heart of wisdom
For our lives, we must explain.

So how to set, our heart anew
To keep abiding in Jesus’ vine?
Not entrapped in carnal thoughts
Instead, be fixed on things divine.

Recalling Jesus, despised, rejected
Calls us, come follow Him
He knows well, all our sorrows
He gives us grace, comforts within.

And so in spite, of dark days
Facing God’s ways, not understood
Amidst adversity, we would not choose
Keep trusting God, all for our good.
