Not an Option
With three billion, unaware
Of Jesus’ Name, to our shame
Let us pray, give and go
’tis our duty, and aim.
Why Are We Here?
We are here for God’s business
His purpose, not our own
Bringing Him glory
Go make disciples, seeds sown.
Be a Finisher…Gideon’s Downfall
But then sadly, he succumbed
Asked for earrings, from his plunder
Israel gave him much gold
He made an ephod, an evil blunder.
Seeking Approval
So instead, of self-approval
Or seek approval, of others
Know, we’re created for God
For His approval, not another.
Take Responsibility for Our Failures
Learn from Adam, our wrongs
We must own, and not hide
Nor blame others, but confess
And repent…. in Christ abide.
Your Goal
Your life you can build
On His Word and His will
His pleasure and purpose
You are finally fulfilled.
Only Two Paths
So, choose to walk God’s way
His good paths, of righteousness
By faith we follow Jesus
Cleansed of, all unrighteousness.
Just Existing, or Purpose-Living?
To surrender and yield
As His possession, daily walking
Not existing, but fulfilling
God’s purposes and calling.
A little OCD?
Set free, from compulsion
He restores our behavior
Our minds are renewed
What a wonderful Savior.
A Starter… or a Finisher?
So dear saint, learn God’s lesson
Jesus tells us abide
In His vine, lest we’re pruned
Cast away, for our faith died.
