I told some people yesterday that I would post this…yesterday. Just now getting around to it unfortunately, so I apologize to those people.

I’m sure you could find this all over the internet, and there are conflicting stories as to where it came from. I don’t think it matters where it came from, really. The important thing is what it says. What is this it that I keep talking about you may ask, the creed that is posted in the front of my Bible, the Fellowship of the Unashamed.

Here you go.

Fellowship of the Unashamed

I am a member of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have Holy Spirit power. 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, tame vissions, mundane talking, chintzy giving, and dwarfed goal. I no longer need preeminance, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits or popularity. I don’t have to be right, first tops, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded. I now 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 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 am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I must go until He returns, 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.
