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.

This is beautiful, man. I would sometimes watch his program when I was a young man, before knowing what Apostolic/Pentecostalism was all about. I've heard it said that Schuller would say "I....wear out my clothes.....from the INSIDE OUT!!"
