When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin."
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 good grace, somehow.

Being a Christian Boring?
Who ever thought being a Christian is boring never really was one. You are being constantly challenged to grow. To grow you have to trust. Trust God. Trust our Lord Jesus. Allow the Holy Spirit to work in your life. You need to submit. Submit to God. That's what most people don't want to do. Original sin; like Satan, wants to be God. To have your will done instead of God's Will. That the whole thing. "Thy will be done, Thy kingdom come. On earth as it is in heaven."
People think that married Christians are boring? You know your relationship is for eternity. Not that you still will be husband and wife:

I'm a Christian so...
I haven't done any rants in awhile but I feel like I must rant now.
So as you all might know I am a Christian. (You see that under my username so you know my convictions already).
Just because I'm a Christian doesn't mean I'm not credible. People are always saying things like Christians shouldn't judge, Christians aren't tolerable. They say things like "Christians are a bunch of religious, Bible thumping, soup box preaching, fundamentalist, fanatics. Christians should learn some tolerance". Or they think we should just shut up and mind our own business and not vote. WE can vote. WE'RE American citizens too, whether you like it or not.

What Being A Christian Means
Does being a Christian mean that I'm proud of every action I make? Of every thought I have? of everything that happens in my life? No. Being a Christian means that I realize that I am imperfect and will NEVER be perfect. Being a Christian is realizing that I need a savior, that I need someone to help me, someone greater than this world. I will discuss what happened to me today, not because I want support through this hard time, I'm getting that from my family, but I will share it because I know there are others out there who have gone through something similar and need to hear this and realize they're not alone.
