I don't have to be like anyone else. I am secure in whose I am.
I would love to have 20 more just like this guy and the OB/GYN who attends as well, whom we just recently baptized. He looks and dresses like a Dr. NLC is very diverse! I do not preach that a person is saved IN their sin. I preach they are saved FROM their sin. The Christian bikers I know don't cuss, drink, smoke or carouse around. Sorry you had bad examples.  |
ManOfWord I'll make a long story short...
About 14 years ago hard times hit us, church members told us to trust in God, they tossed in will pray for you.
A few days later we had a couple of Harley bikers, man&woman with piercing, tattoos, long hair standing outside the front door with bags. I was kinda freaked out, my hubby slowly open the door, these two bikers just stood there smiling. They said they had heard times was tough for us wanted to help, they brought food to help out, even junk food for the kids.
I could not beleive it, in fact they were the only two who help us during that time. We invited them in, they lived three houses down, they were both very nice, respectful towards us. I was moved by their kindness towards us as strangers, we all became good friends over the years, they became part of our family as well as theirs!
What I learned was not to judge someone on the outward that day, these folks were straight and clean, even knew bible pretty well....Yes they might have looked tough and rough on the outside, but they had hearts of gold within. We still stay in touch even tho we have moved, my kids call them auntie/ uncle.
