Dying Churches and Denominations

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

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.

From Dysfunction, to God’s Unction

See God’s blessing, and His fruit,
O such riches in Christ,
No more despair, no more darkness,
All in Him, fully sufficed!

Amazing Grace, Will We Obey?

So we must share, His Good News,
Walk in love, keep His commands,
As His disciples, obey go forth,
And make disciples, in all lands.

Are We Willing to Change?

Allow God’s Spirit, and others,
Start to trust and obey,
Be set free, from heavy burdens,
See our God, renew our ways.

The Unreached

And so few laborers, are raised up;
In Jesus’ vision, most not partaking;
May our church leaders, start equipping;
Learn to begin, disciple-making.

Jesus Commands Us to Make Disciples

Yes, learn to witness, make disciples;
Seek to be, a disciple-maker;
Be not wrapped up, in ourselves;
Jesus calls us, our LORD and Savior.
