I wish I could say that I will always hold to this kind of statement, but I know my strength is not enough. I know that I'm a sinner who needs a Great Saviour. I try to remember this on my knees daily.
Do I stand tall in victory like this statement? or Do I remain on my knees in surrender?
I'd like to remain in surrender, always facing the write direction in humility, but ready like a sprinter to rise up and sprint in the direction the Lord calls me... all the time unashamed of the Gospel!
The Fellowship of the Unashamed (potentially by Dr. Bob Moorehead - unconfirmed/disputed)
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 am finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, chintzy giving, and dwarfed goals. I no longer need pre-eminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I now live by presence, lean by faith, love by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by power.
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 cannot be bought, compromised, deterred, lured away, turned back, diluted, or delayed.
I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.
I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I must go until Heaven 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.
I am not ashamed of the gospel . . . Romans 1:16
