Brotherhood

Bikers share a unique brotherhood. Like most families, we all tend to look a little alike. Leather, studs, boots, and that sun and windblown look that only bikers can achieve. Yes, we are all part of a unique brotherhood, and those outside our family just don’t get it. It’s almost as if God meant it to be…

The fact is, God did intend for there to be a unique brotherhood. God intended for you to be part of His family, with Jesus as your brother.

You can’t prospect or do anything to earn membership into this brotherhood. Jesus paid dues when He died on the cross and came back to life. The only thing you have to do to become part of the family is to believe.

Becoming part of His brotherhood means that we now ride in His pack and follow His lead. You might be thinking that one day you’ll change your life and be good enough to commit to this family. The fact is, none of us will ever be good enough. God takes us just the way we are, and no one is too bad to be loved and accepted by Him.

What are you waiting for? Let’s ride! Pray with me right now: “God, I want to be part of your family. Please forgive me for the things I’ve done that are wrong, I want your Son, Jesus, to be the Road Captain of my life. Amen.”

Now that you’re part of God’s brotherhood, you might be wondering what’s next. A good place to start is with your operator’s manual–the Bible. Start reading toward the back in a book called John.

Getting and staying connected to God is easy. Praying is nothing more than talking to God. And you can do it as you ride your bike. No radio. Nobody sitting on the seat behind you talking. Just
you and God.

Another good starting place is to get connected with the rest of the brotherhood…. Find a Christian church where the people love Jesus, a place where you fit in and feel you belong. They can’t necessarily fix all your problems, but like a good mechanic they can help you work through the pain in your life. They can also point you in the right direction to get hooked up.

One of the best joys of any biker brotherhood is when we get together to eat, talk, and have a great time.
