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.

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.

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.

God Restores

“To revive the spirit, of the humble
Revive the heart, of those contrite”
Our Master Potter, can reshape
We His clay, remold aright.

Seeing Beyond

Are we seeing beyond
Life’s heartaches and pain
Great suffering, and sorrow
…Yet see God, bring gain?

Church Leadership Ingredients

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

Israel and her Foes

And yet our hope is not in weapons
The arm of flesh, will fail
Pray Israel trust in the LORD
Know her Messiah, wholly prevail.
