What IS a CHRISTian? I SURRENDER!

The qualifications for being a CHRISTian has nothing to do with location, gender, culture, ethnicity, or anything we as human beings can possibly do . . . but SURRENDER! One must give it all up and accept CHRIST on His terms . . . the terms of the cross, the grave, the resurrection. Its all about CHRIST, not any of us! Recall what Peter said when some were putting claims in on what it took to be saved . . .

And when there had been much dispute, Peter rose up and said to them: “Men and brethren, you know that a good while ago God chose among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe. So God, who knows the heart, acknowledged them by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He did to us, and made no distinction between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. Now therefore, why do you test God by putting a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved in the same manner as they.” (Acts 15:7-11)

Its not my church or your church . . . my pastor or your pastor . . .  your choir, my choir,  but one Church, one faith, one Lord, one Father! Just ONE! One way . . .

I surrender . . . to CHRIST . . . . What about you?
