“The Church of Equipping” : Disciple-Making

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

Inadequacy, Insecurity

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

Our Body, Soul and Spirit

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

Renewing Our Mind

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

Learn from Political Dishonesty

Though we have, our Constitution
Our Bill of Rights, at core
But overridden, by deception
By duplicity, and even more.

Is the Modern Church Biblical?

Since the church, is Christ’s body
We’re His temple, a living stone
But, seems modern church goals
Miss disciple making, so little known.

Evolving, Dissolving or Disciple-Making Church?

With each discipled, taught abiding
To learn obeying, go make disciples
Teaching them, disciple-making
To reach the nations, pray for revivals.

Pew Sitters or People Seekers?

But evangelists are training
To equip and show how
Watch their videos, read books
Obey God, and learn now.

Churches are not Equipping

Instead equip, the saints for ministry
To train them for outreach
For the work of the ministry
To multiply, so all are reached.

New Testament Churches

Equipped the saints, disciple making
As God’s Word, obeyed, applied
Just as Jesus, with His disciples
They went forth, and multiplied.
