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 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 grace somehow!

The Twenty Commandments
1. If you feel far away from God, guess who moved?
2. Fear knocked and when faith answered no one was there.
3. What you are is God's gift to you. What you become is your gift to God.
4. I am God's melody of Life and He sings His song through me.
5. We can never really go where God is not, and where He is, all is well.
6. No matter what is happening in your life, know that God is waiting for you with open arms.
7. God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage.
8. Do your best and then sleep in peace. God is awake.
9. God has a purpose and plan for me that no one else can fulfill.
10. The will of God will never take you to where the grace of God will not protect you.
11. We are responsible for the effort, not the outcome.
12. We set the sail; God makes the wind.
13. Begin to weave with the thread you have and God will give you the design.
14. God answers all your prayers. Sometimes the answer is "no", and it's because He has something better in store for you.
15. The task ahead of us is never as great as the Power behind us.
16. Prayer: don't bother to give God instructions, just report for duty.
17. It's my business to do God's business, and it's His business to take care of my business.
18. Serenity is not freedom from the storm, but peace amid the storm.
19. How come we're always running around looking for God? He's not lost.
20. Faith makes things possible, not easy.
