The Future of the Gospel Church

The calling of God upon his church
to preach the gospel to all and more
in centuries past gospel preached powerfully
making sinners cry out realising sin's sore

But such evidence today is seldom seen
that power today seems to be unknown
faithful preachers send forth God's truth
but seems to fall on deaf ears as if stone

Most prayer meetings are few in number
the powerhouse of the church lacks the fire
few seem to think that this is God's answer
does God's word not say this, is God a liar?

The church fails to allow in the world
so that man's ideas infiltrate God's church
in so doing the power becomes void
no lasting effect at least not very much

But God's promises are always yea and amen!
His church He's promised to build for sure
on His terms alone it can only be done
so pray the true gospel will forever endure

(It is a sad day we are living in when we see a little effect in the gospel church so we need be praying for God to revive and renew His church once again as was the case in centuries gone by. )

A deep and thought provoking poem. Revival begins in the heart of every believer. It involves a broken and contrite spirit before God. Godly sorrow and genuine repentance. A deep and abiding faith in Christ and obedience to the word of God. The Bible also says that a time will come when men will not put up with Sound doctrine. It also talks about a great falling away. Sadly, we're living in these times.

Thanks W.A., Glad you were impressed and would agree with your every word, indeed your sentiments bring to mind the scripture that says When Jesus returns will He find faith on the earth? Hope you're well, Blessings, Gordon

It is a sad time for most religions, people don't go anymore because most times they hear more politics than the word of God, the sheep aren't being fed truth and comfort so they go elsewhere. I just enjoyed an International convention about how to show love, with 50,000 people for 3 days, that was the greatest joy I have ever experienced!
