(As if prayer perverted.) what I concluded: We bugs. We weren't just going to yet another motorcycle rally for the custom bikes and music. We were investing time and money into the lives of people whom the church could never hope to reach. Tough old birds that they were, these bikers recognized the reality of a God who cares and just might make a difference in their lives or the lives of their loved ones. Presumptuous as it may sound, we were there to represent God's Son, Jesus Christ and His love for bikers. There is a passage in the Gospels (Luke 7:18-23) where the disciples of John the Baptist came and questioned Jesus regarding whether or not He was indeed the Messiah. ("Hey Jesus! Are you the real thing or are you just burning fuel and killing bugs?") It reads like this: "Are you really the Messiah or shall we keep on looking for him?" and Jesus said, "Go back to John and tell him all you have seen and heard here today: how those who were blind can see. The lame are walking without a limp. The lepers are completely healed. The deaf can hear again. The dead come back to life. And the poor are hearing the Good News. And tell him, 'Blessed is the one who does not lose his faith in me.Ó As the president of BSHDFC I have absolutely no interest in riding around the country looking cool for God. Whether we go to a major rally or simply stop by the local dealership, we want BE the light and SHOW people GOD'S LOVE in simple practical ways. We'll hand out sun screen so you won't get burned. We'll give you a bottle of cold water because you are thirsty. We'll shine your boots and make you look good. We will even take time to listen to your story and then pray for your needs. That's what Black Sheep sheep do. If we're not making a difference, then we're just wasting everybody's time and money. Mount up! Let's ride! ~Marty Edwards THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
