Led by Emotions, or God’s Spirit?

Yes, we must choose, that we change;
By God’s Spirit, grace from above;
To walk in faith, over feelings;
We must obey, agape love.
Living by Faith or Feelings?

For our feelings, are fleshly;
Misleading, failing us each day;
Instead believing, God in all;
Rebuke our feelings, trust and obey.
When Will Churches, Equip for Ministry?

Shared God’s Word, & prayed in earnest
Obeyed, went forth, to make disciples
But modern churches, don’t multiply
Don’t see disciple-making, as vital!
Dying Churches and Denominations

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

So come to church, not to network;
But be discipled, to obey
Learn commitment, to God’s Word;
Go make disciples, in Jesus’ way.
Releasing Resentments

We must not cling, to condemnations,
To our anger and revenge,
To unforgiveness, and resentments,
Always forgive, God will avenge.
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.
Struggling with Forgiveness

For Jesus sacrifice for sin,
Set us free, by selfless love,
Now by faith, we must forgive,
So go forgive, grace from above.
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.
