    PLEASE UNDERSTAND

    When I say... "I am a Christian"
    I'm not shouting I'm clean living
    I'm whispering "I was lost",
    now I'm found and I'm 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.


    I think most of us to proclaim Christ feel this way.

    they forgot:

    When I say... "I am a Christian"
    And I list my policies
    It means I've served my obligation
    And I can act counter to these

    Because If you were christian you would need to go around telling everyone how humble you are.

    sorry, don't mean to generalize. i just find that the most "vocal" christians seem to be ones that act the least christian -- or at least, what i understand to be christian.

    And what exactly is that? What does it mean to be Christian from the perspective of someone who is not? I am genuinely curious here.
