When Kendall said he was Christian, he was not shouting ""I am clean living"" but whispering ""I was lost, now I'm found and forgiven."" When he said he was Christian, he wasn't speaking with pride but confessing that he stumbled and needed Christ to be his guide. When he said he was Christian, he was not trying to be strong but professing that he was weak and needed Christ's strength to carry on. When he said he was Christian, he was not bragging of success but admitting he has failed and needed God to clean his mess. He was not claiming to be perfect for his flaws were far too visible but God believed he was worth it. When he said he was Christian he still felt the sting of pain, had his share of heartaches and called upon God's name.
When he said he was Christian, he was not saying he was holier than thou just that he was a sinner who received God's good grace somehow!
