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.

Overcoming…in this World

For blessed is the man who trusts,
The LORD Jesus, is their hope,
Despite, trials and tribulations,
In Christ we conquer, not just cope.

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!

Britain’s Burning, Are We Praying

So, as we pray for the UK.
Such chaos, surely compels.
“If My people who are called.
By My name, humble themselves”

From Seasons of Suffering

Instead, we offer up our bodies,
A living sacrifice, upon His altar,
So be the fragrance of Christ,
Amidst your suffering, do not falter.

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.
