Church Dilemma…and Solution

We so need, this role-modelling
Equipping, training, how ‘tis applied
How to grow, make new Believers
Become discipled, then multiplied.

Calvary Chapel’s ‘Missing’ Ministry

So, not just faithful pastors, leaders,
Also, disciple-making from the pews,
Learning discipling, and equipping,
Keep multiplying, to spread Good News.

Our Church Model versus Jesus’ Model

Yet few pastors, are so trained
Lack Jesus vision, are not obeying
Busy teaching, but rarely training
Learn to obey, disciple-making.

Churchianity or Jesus’ Christianity (Disciples Making Disciples)

So may we learn Disciple-Making;
Not forsaking, Jesus’ Command;
Calling His Followers, to reproduce;
From Churchianity, obey His plan.

The Church’s Secret

So now this secret, start obeying;
‘Disciple making’ is God’s plan;
Learn from Disciple-making movements;
Do grow and share, spread all you can.

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.
