I was raised in the "Us-four-no-more" "It's SOOO hard to live for Jesus" mentality and one day, following the grand, thunderous opening to the broadcast, Schuller stood up with his flowing robe, stretched out his arms and bellowed, "Todaaaay.........is a Wooooonnnderful day........to be........a Chrrrrristian". And the pipe organ blew the walls down with the intro to the next song.

Something happened in me that day that has never left me. I took up the "Easy yoke" and "Light burden" of Christ and I've never set it down again. Yes, it's a daily renewal, but I now know that it's truly a wonderful day to be a Christian.

Everyday with Jesus is sweeter than the day before. I agree that all to often some folks get into the us 4 and no more, hold the fort mentality, but that's not the mentality of Christ. That type of thinking want encourage anyone to follow you as you folow Christ.
