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.

Learn from Political Dishonesty

Though we have, our Constitution
Our Bill of Rights, at core
But overridden, by deception
By duplicity, and even more.

Choose Each Day

So choose each day, to keep abiding
Choose each day, set thoughts above
Choose each day, forgive, show grace
Choose each day, share Jesus’ love.

Where is Your Trust?

But blessed is the man
Who trusts in the LORD,
And whose hope, is the LORD
Shall see blessings out-poured.

Pew Sitters or People Seekers?

But evangelists are training
To equip and show how
Watch their videos, read books
Obey God, and learn now.

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.

Be the Fragrance of Christ

Recognizing we are created
To always bring God, His glory
To uplift, and choose His will
To live for Him, life’s not my story.

Church Leadership Ingredients

Look beyond, gifting and training
To know their heart, motivation
A vessel, wholly dedicated?
Or tainted needing, more consecration?

Renewing the Church

Seem so few, will die to self
So ask Jesus, to start using
My life holy, be His witness
Disciple-making, reproducing.
