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.
A Missing Church Ingredient
Yes now, church leaders may learn;
Disciple-making, multiplying;
How to equip, and train disciples;
So do obey, and start applying.
“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.
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.
Gathering AND Going?
So focus not, on just the gatherings
But go like Jesus, disciple training
Mentored His followers, to reproduce
Obey His Commission, go disciple-making!
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?
Be God’s Gardener
We’re to sow and to reap
God’s harvest of souls
Disciple-making movements
Multiplication, God’s goal.
