Not Just a Branch

With no beauty in us
But the fruit that we bear
Keep abiding and growing
That God’s glory we share.

Delight Yourself in the LORD

Do we so, desire God;
To awaken, and fill us;
Are we hungry, and thirsty;
To draw nearer, to Jesus?

A Healthy Heart?

A heart in God’s people;
To be discipled, and go;
To make disciples, multiplying;
That all peoples may know.

Comforts and Compromise

With our freedoms and rights;
We so soon, are self-serving;
Then in place of surrender;
We’re caught up, with our yearnings.

Get Rid of Old Baggage!

For if still, ungodly attitudes;
With our mindset, still unchanged;
We’ve not brought, all to Jesus;
So be transformed, wholly changed.

Where are the Equipping Churches?

We’re not equipping the saints
For the work of the ministry
Instead our focus, polished preaching
Yet, we’re not coming to His unity.

Pulling Down Strongholds

Old baggage, that binds;
Improper patterns, still prevailing;
Harmful habits, wrong reactions;
Let our God, start changing.

Have Churches Lost Their Way?

Instead of Jesus’ plan, ‘Go forth’;
Most churches center, on us sitting;
Disciple-making, so neglected ;
Jesus’ Commission, largely missing.

“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.

Love Not the World

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