unashamed of the gospel

"I am part of the fellowship of the unashamed.
The dye has been cast. The decision has been made.
I have stepped over the line.
I won't look back, let up, slow down, or back away.


My past is redeemed, my present makes sense,
my future, is secure. I'm finished with low living,
sight walking, small planning, smooth knees,
tamed visions, mundane talking, cheap giving and dwarfed goals.


I no longer need pre-eminence, prosperity, position, promotions,
plaudits, or popularity. I don't have to be right,
first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded.
I now live by faith, lean on His presence,
walk with patience, live by prayer and labor with power.


My face is set, my gait is fast my goal is Heaven,
my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few,
my guide is reliable, my mission is clear.
I can not be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away,
turned back, deluded, or delayed. I will not flinch in
the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the
adversary, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the
pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.


I won't give up, shut up, let up,
until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up,
spoken for the case of Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus Christ.
I must go till He comes, give till I drop, preach till all know,
and work till He stops me.


My banner is clear. I am a part of the fellowship of the unashamed."



I read this and it really encouraged me! I guess it was supposedly written by an African Christian, before he was martyered for the faith. I pray that as Christian- we would truely live like this. forget a life of ease, fitting in, comfort, and worldly pleasures! God is so worth everything that we have! He's worth living for, He's worth dieing for!!!

(which you dont see here) but thankfully, and totally PRAISE THE LORD... sapphire and I are ok!!
