RIDE

I used to think of God as my observer, my judge, keeping track of the things I did wrong, so as to know whether I merited heaven or hell when I die. He was out there, sort of like a president. I recognized His picture when I saw it, but I didn't really know Him.

But later on when I met Christ, it seemed as though life were rather like a bike, but it was a tandem bike, and I noticed that Christ was in the back helping me ride. I don't know just when it was He suggested we change places, but life has not been the same since I took the back seat to Jesus, my Lord. Christ makes life exciting. When I had control, I thought I knew the way, but it was rather boring, and predictable. It was the shortest distance between two points.

But when He took the lead, He knew delightful long cuts, up mountains, and through rocky places and at breakneck speeds, it was all I could do to hang on! Even though it often looked like madness, He said "Ride!" I was worried and anxious and asked, " Where are you taking me'?" He laughed and didn't answer, and I started to learn to trust. I forgot my boring life and entered the adventure. And when I'd say, "I'm scared", He'd lean back and touch my hand.

He took me to people with gifts that I needed, gifts of healing, acceptance, and joy. They gave me their gifts to take on my journey, our journey, my Lord's and mine. And we were off again. He said, "Give the gifts away, they're extra baggage, too much weight." So I did, to the people we met, and I found that in giving I received, and still our burden was light.

I did not trust Him, at first, to be in control of my life, but He knows bike secrets, knows how to make it bend to take sharp corners, jump to clear high rocks, fly to shorten scary passages. And I am learning to shut up and ride in the strangest places, and I'm beginning to enjoy the view and the cool breeze on my face with my delightful constant companion, Christ. And when I'm sure I just can't do any more, He just smiles and says yes, "RIDE".

Beautiful post. I am not a biker, but have the exact same relationship with Jesus. I would have to choose a different analogy to describe it, but it works the same way.

What you think is the right road, may lead to death (GNB Proverbs 14:12).

Gambling is a billion dollar business. A man might lose his savings and home on the turn of a card. But there’s one gamble even a Las Vegas professional shouldn’t take – his own soul. Observe the odds: “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

You see, there’s no way a man can SAVE his own soul from hell. All the money in the world won’t buy it. It can only be saved by receiving God’s gift of eternal life …which is JESUS CHRIST. He said: “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me.”

Call Him liar - if you like. But what if you’re WRONG? That’s the gamble. You lose your soul – and everything! Why risk the torment of HELL when Jesus offers you ETERNAL LIFE in heaven?

Here’s His offer. If you believe… pray like this: “Father God, I repent and ask you to forgive my sins, Jesus come into my heart and make me the kind of person You want me to be. Thank you Jesus for saving me today.”

Please Pray for this Biker Ministry

It's that time of year again. When bikers from all over the globe converge on the town of Sturgis, South Dakota, for the largest biker rally in the world.

To some, this is a mission field, an opportunity to witness for Christ and spread the Gospel - especially among the notorious 1%'s. If you think you have a tough audience, imagine if you were witnessing to the leaders of the "Hell's Angels", "Mongols", "Pagans", "Outlaws" and other Biker Clubs.

It takes a special breed to fulfill such a calling, and Rey Perez, of the Bikers for Christ organization, is one such individual. He has traveled over 350,000 miles doing Biker Ministry - taking the Gospel to the least, the last, and the lost. Before that, he traveled the world with Nicky Cruz, as one of the band members for his Crusades.

Once again, he is heading out, seeking divine appointments, grace, power, and protection - as he crosses several states to witness at Sturgis. Won't you take a moment to pray for him, and the success of his Ministry?

Rey has a smokin' hot Latin Gospel album called "The Road Warrior". It even includes a track called "Sonny" written especially for Sonny Barger - the founder of the "Hell's Angels". He has a 20 minute Biker Ministry video titled Dead End Road, which dramatizes the eternal consequences of our choices (through the lives of two bikers who are on different paths). He also distributes Gospel tracts, and has one on one conversations (he calls divine appointments), with some of the top people in the biker world.

If you would like to know more about his extraordinary Ministry, read this interview in Divine Inspirations Magazine. It's a view into the heart of a warrior for God - don't miss it.

Personally, I have been so impressed by his life and Ministry, that it inspired me to write a song and produce a music video called The Biker Blues. He also inspired the Biker Heaven Internet Ministry, which has a social group you can join.

Please pray that souls will be won, and Christ will be uplifted. Pray that Rey's Ministry will serve as a light in a dark place, as he once again takes the Gospel to Sturgis this year.
