Default "I AM A CHRISTIAN" - 03-22-2004, 01:13 PM

When I say...

"I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'"
I'm whispering "I was lost",
Now I'm found and forgiven.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need CHRIST to be my guide.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
and need HIS strength to carry on.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
but, God believes I am worth it.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain,
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
who received God's good grace, somehow.

HOW DO WE KNOW HE LOVES US?

READ ROMANS 5:6-11 "GOD DEMONSTRATES HIS LOVE FOR
US...THAT WHILE WE WERE STILL SINNERS CHRIST DIED FOR US."



You are beautiful inevery single way and no matter what they say. Christina Agulera

Finally! Someone who understands the humility of faith. Please share whatever pixie dust they sprinkled on you with the 'doom & gloom brigade' that lurks around here.


Fi-Fo-Fum!

I still love my wine, like Lot and Noah and fine women like King David and King Solomon. Does that make me any less a Christian?

Nope, that just makes you a lush and a womaniser, two qualities essential in this life to enjoy it. Hehehehehehehehehehe!

People !People ! This doesn't mean we should live wanton lives because we as christians must be holy as God is Holy because without holiness noone shall see the Lord.Let us strive to live Holy by the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit.For those of us CHRISTIANS i.e have believed in your heart and confessed with your mouth that JC is Lord who have backslide pls dont justify your sin just return to the Lord confess ur sin and he is faithful and just to forgive.

1 John 2:16-17
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Let God have your life; he can do more with it than you can.
