Let's Pretend...as told by Chuck Obremski

Anonymous said...: i too saw the news clip, and although i am not a christian, i have read the bible and from what i gather you arent supposed to hate or discriminate anyone. aside from religious veiws, its simply evil to protest a funeral. especially if these people that died, died for the ones saying thank god they are dead. these people are merely sheep raised with what they believe to be true, including shirly herself, so in turn they dont know any better. obviously at this point they have been too brainwashed to be told any different. people on the brink of fundementalism can rarely be told anything they do is wrong. could you have told hitler it was wrong to hate jews? no. just as you cannot tell the wbc that shunning the soldiers that are giving there lives to save them is wrong. im sorry, if i keep typing ill be going forever, i just thought id drop in my two cents. its only right that these occurances be talked about, granted my opinion is a little biast (i have friends in iraq now) never the less, no person should be hating for trying to help and save their country. thanks for reading, -vanessa; 1:53 PM

My Colors Will Be Clear

I am a part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have Holy Spirit power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I'm a disciple of His. I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still.

My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure. I'm finished and done with low living, sight seeing, smooth knees, color-less dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, "chinchy" giving and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need position, promotions, or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded. I now live by presence, learn by faith, walk by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by power.

My face is set, my gait is fast, my destination is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few. My Guide reliable, my mission 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 adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity.

I won't give up, shut up, let up, until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, and preached up for the cause of the One that gave me life, drew the line in blood for me in the hour of my destiny.

I am one of Christ's remnant people. I belong to Him and none other. All I do to bring this life to another is done because of that blood covenant poured out for me.

I must go till He comes, give till I drop, preach till all know, and work till He stops me. I must share will all that one more might hear and be drawn from the flaming darkness that longs to consume. Reach for another, touch but one more!

Until that moment...He will have no problem in recognizing me- my colors will be clear!!!

Not only are the words inspiring but so is the man behind them. The above letter was written by a Pastor in Africa who was undergoing severe persecution. On the eve of his execution he sat down and wrote the above note.
