Rules For Growing Christians *"A Word from Ryan"* Don’t neglect your prayer time. It is the breath of the soul (Luke 18:1). Don’t neglect your Bible. It is your sword for conquest, your hammer for construction, your guiding light for dreary days (Revelation 1:3). Don’t neglect your body. It is the capital on which you are to do business for the rest of your life (1 Corinthians 6:19, 20). Don’t neglect your mind. It is your channel for reaching up to the very thoughts of God (Philippians 4:8). Don’t neglect your laugh. The Bible teaches that “A merry heart does good like medicine” (Proverbs 17:22). Don’t neglect your reputation. It is the gold with which you will meet the demands of a complex civilization (Matthew 5:14-16). Don’t neglect your influence. It will point other people to the living God whom you serve (Proverbs 11:6).

I Am A Christian

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.

railroad crossing 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.

Jesus w/lamb 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,
and 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.
