I Am…

I am a Conservative because we should use wisdom and caution in these turbulent times.

I am a Liberal because I believe in grace that is liberally given, and liberally received.

I am a Traditionalist because there are some traditions worth keeping.

I am a Progressive because the advance of the Gospel demands that we change for the sake of progress.

I am a Republican because I value the freedom that a republic offers–the right to vote for our leaders.

I am a Democrat because I enjoy the rights and privileges of living in a democracy.

I am a Catholic because there is only one holy, Catholic church.

I am a Protestant because some things should be protested against.

I am an Evangelical because we should evangelize the nations.

I am an Orthodox because we should believe what is right and true.

I am a Baptist because those who follow Jesus should be baptized.

I am a Methodist because we should find good methods and use them.

I am a Presbyterian because a church should be led by elders.

I am Rich because God has blessed me far more than I deserve.

I am Poor because without Christ, I am nothing.

I am a Leader because I influence others.

I am a Follower because others influence me.

I am a Husband, Father, Brother, Son, and Uncle to my family. I am a Friend to many.

I am all of these and more. But most of all, far above all, I am a Disciple of Jesus.
