Our Free Will, may lead to Bondage

Keep choosing selfishness and sin;
We face bondage, without limit;
Choose each day, obeying Jesus;
From His Word and Spirit.
Conquered or Conqueror ?

We’ve ever victory, in Christ;
From trials, troubles don’t shirk;
Don’t follow feelings, but God’s Spirit;
All for His glory, finish His work.
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.
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.
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.
Yearning or Spurning?

Yes many spurning, ignoring Jesus,
Choosing death, and endless rife,
Follow deception and destruction,
May they repent, receive His life.
Wrong Feelings… Feeding or Defeating?

So not focused, on wrong feelings,
Ever forgive, instead to love,
Grow not weary, nor frustrated,
Keep claiming grace, from above.
