Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

Basic Godliness, Belief In Prayer and Love For Jesus

The church today seems sadly lacking
but what is it that's it's the real need?
something significant needs be found
for its survival action needed at speed

Basic godliness is a real requirement
being believers showing the spirit's fruit
of holiness, humility and sound doctrine
need dig deep down to the root

A real believing in God answers prayer
not just a routine of prayer each day
but a deep heart change of certainty
to believe God hears what you say

Now dwell deep on God's love
which would give you real assurance
for God's love eternal and certain
as Jesus shows splitting the curtain

Now, will the church rise again?
showing themselves true in devotion
in godliness, prayer and loving Jesus
committed fully making God our solution

(Having read an article on this title made think about the need for today's church to rise again showing God to be the world's answer to its present problems. )

Sandra Adams March 27, 2020 at 10:22 PM sadly the viruses have the churches closed, but many have found a way to give their sermons via the internet... if ever we needed God and to come together it's the darkest times like these...I am glad there is a way to give praise with others and not just in prayers alone.... hugs and blessings! Gordon Mcconnell March 28, 2020 at 6:23 AM Glad you loved it Sandy, indeed so good some can still be fed on God's word in these troubled times. our church is live streaming the Sunday services though difficult for the minister to preach to an empty church. hugs and blessing and keep safe, Gordon
