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.
MAGA
God is granting our prayer
Making America, Great Again
Once more, a beacon of light
Not corrupted, no dark stain.
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.
Many Pastors are Panicking
Not passive spectators
Sitting silent, just staring
But God’s Word applying
Reproducing, all were sharing.
Churchianity or Christianity?
We’re not equipping, with ‘how-to’
Nor teaching, Jesus’ way
Not mentoring, role-modeling
Not reproducing, to obey.
Out of Control?
Not by our own efforts
Our flesh, cannot conquer
We need Jesus’ power
Without Him, we falter.
Modern Churches versus Home Churches
Yet Jesus left us, His great Commission
God’s strategy, to reach the world
Make disciples, not pew sitters
Teach them obey, His every word.
Self-Control
And as a branch, in His vine
Jesus tells us, keep abiding
To bear fruit, of God’s Spirit
His ‘Self-control’, He is providing.
