"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved."- John 3:16-17

Triumphant Faith :o)

"The Lord is my light and my salvation;  whom shall I fear?  the Lord is the strength of my life;  of whom shall I be afraid?  


When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.


Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear:  though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.


One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after;  that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple."


Psalm 27:1-4

Fellowship of the Unashamed (An African Martyr's Last Words)

I am part of the "Fellowship of the Unashamed."  The die has been cast.  I have stepped over the line.  The decision has been made.  I am a disciple of Jesus Christ.


I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still.  My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is secure.


I'm finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tame visions, mundane talking, cheap giving, and dwarfed goals.


My pace is set, my gait is fast, my goal is Heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few, my Guide reliable, my mission clear.


I won't give up, back up, let up or shut up until I've preached up, prayed up, paid up, stored up, and stayed up for the cause of Christ.  I must go until He returns, give until I drop, preach until all know, and work until He comes.


And when He comes to get His own, He will have no problem recognizing me.  My colors will be clear.  


"For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ."(Romans 1:16)
