I Am a Christian.

I am a Christian. 

I do not think of myself as higher than you. 

I do not criticize other religions. 

I do not look down on your beliefs and religion. 

I think of everyone as equal to myself. 

I respect your rights to believe what you want. 

Regardless of who you are, I will treat you with respect. 

Yes, I will talk about my religion openly, but no, I won’t shove my religion down your throat. 

I am not foolish for following my Lord. 

I am not brainwashed. 

I struggle, too. 

I sin, too. 

I don’t know why God allows certain things to happen. 

I don’t know all the answers. 

I get lost. 

I feel pain. 

I stumble, but I’ve chosen God as my guide. 

I am weak, and I need God’s strength. 

I am not perfect. 

I have failed, and I cannot pay my own debt. 

I have no place to judge you. 

I have no authority. 

I am proud of my religion and beliefs.

I am proud to be a Christian. 

I am proud of my God.
