"I am part of the fellowship of the unashamed. The die is cast; I have stepped over the line; the decision has been made; I am a disciple of His; I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or sit still. My past is forgiven, 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, tamed visions, mundane talking, chincy giving and dwarfed goals. I no longer need prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits or popularity. I don't have to be first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live by grace, walk by faith, learn by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by His power."
"My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my Guide is reliable, my mission is clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded, or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the adversary, negotiate at the table of the enemy, or ponder at the pool of popularity."
"I will not give up, shut up, or let up, until I have stayed up, prayed up,
paid up and preached up for the cause of my Lord. I am a disciple of His.
I must go until He comes, give until I drop, preach until all know, and work
until He stops me. And when He comes for His own, I don't want Him to have
any trouble recognizing me...I want my 'colors to be clear'."
