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.
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.
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.
The Mission Driven Church
With those gifted, to equip saints
For the work of the ministry
Edifying, the body of Christ,
To go multiply, in each vicinity.
Has the Church Lost Its Way?
Has the church, lost its way
Is it biblically sound?
Are we teaching to obey
So, disciple-makers are found?
Church Leadership Goals
Jesus’ means, of building churches
Equip our saints, disciple making
Spiritual reproduction, multiplying
May our leaders, start awakening.
A Corporate Church for our Corporate World?
With God’s people, compromising
Many passive, pew sitting
So, God’s ‘Royal Priesthood’
His call, are not fulfilling.
Assessing Health of our Churches
Yes, we’ve preaching and teaching
But few were taught disciple making
May feed the poor and needy
But few churches, are reproducing.
