THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE UNSHAMED
Author Unknown

DEAR CHRISTIAN FRIEND,
YOU ARE PART OF THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE UNASHAMED.

THE DIE HAS BEEN CAST.  
THE DECISION HAS BEEN MADE.
YOU HAVE STEPPED OVER THE LINE. 

DON'T LOOK BACK, LET UP, SLOW DOWN, OR BACK AWAY.

YOUR PAST IS FORGIVEN, YOUR PRESENT HAS PURPOSE, 
YOUR FUTURE IS SECURE. 

SET YOUR SIGHTS HEAVENWARD, 
WALK IN HIS SPIRIT, PLAN WITH HIS WISDOM, 
PROGRESS ON YOUR  KNEES, GIVE TIL IT FEELS GOOD.

YOU NO LONGER NEED PRE-EMINENCE, PROSPERITY, POSITION,
PROMOTIONS, PLAUDITS, OR POPULARITY. 
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE 
RECOGNIZED, PRAISED, REGARDED, OR REWARDED.

BUT RATHER.....
 

LIVE BY HIS WORD,  LEAN ON HIS PRESENCE, WAIT WITH HIS PATIENCE,
CONTINUE IN PRAYER, AND WORK WITH INTENSITY.

 
YOUR MIND IS AT REST, YOUR LIFE IS IN HEAVEN, 
YOUR PATHWAY IS STRAIGHT, YOUR ROAD IS NARROW, 
YOUR WAY MAY BE  ROUGH, YOUR COMPANIONS MAY BE FEW,
YOUR GUIDE IS RELIABLE, YOUR  MISSION IS CLEAR.
YOUR SACRIFICE IS REWARDED.

DO NOT BE DEPRESSED, DEBASED,
DETOURED, DELUDED, DELAYED
DECEIVED, OR DEMORALIZED.

DO NOT FLINCH IN THE FACE OF OPPOSITION,
HESITATE AT THE DOORWAY OF OPPORTUNITY
COMPROMISE WITH THE WILL OF THE ENEMY, 
PONDER AT THE POOL OF CONFUSION,
OR MEANDER IN THE MAZE OF WORLDLINESS .

DONT GIVE UP, SHUT UP, OR EASE UP
UNTIL YOU HAVE 
STAYED UP, STORED UP, PRAYED UP, PAID UP, AND SPOKEN UP 
FOR THE CAUSE OF CHRIST.

FOLLOW HIM TIL HE COMES, SERVE FROM YOUR HEART,
PREACH ALL YOU KNOW, AND WORK TIL HE STOPS YOU.
AND WHEN HE COMES FOR HIS OWN, 
YOUR JOY WILL BE FULL.

SALVATION IS NEAR
THE SAVIOUR IS DEAR
YOUR MANDATE IS CLEAR:
YOU ARE A PART OF THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE UNASHAMED.

Mark 8:38(LIVING BIBLE) 
And anyone who is ashamed of me and my message 
in these days of unbelief and sin, 
I, the Messiah, will be ashamed of him 
when I return in the glory of my Father, with the holy angels."
--------------------------------------------------------
Luke 9:26 (KJV)
 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, 
of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, 
when he shall come in his own glory, 
and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.

Rom 1:16-17(LIVING BIBLE)
For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. 
It is God's powerful method of bringing all who believe it to heaven. 
This message was preached first to the Jews alone,
but now everyone is invited to come to God in this same way.

This Good News tells us that God makes us ready for heaven-
-makes us right in God's sight--
when we put our faith and trust in Christ to save us. 
This is accomplished from start to finish by faith.
As the Scripture says it, 
"The man who finds life will find it through trusting God."

Rom 5:1-5 (KJV) 
Therefore being justified by faith, 
we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 
{2} By whom also we have access by faith
into this grace wherein we stand, 
and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
{3} And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: 
knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 
{4} And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 
{5} And hope maketh not ashamed;
because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts
by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
