Good day to everyone,

Sorry I’m late getting this out but life has been very busy the last few weeks and going to get busier in the next month it appears.

First of all we would like to embrace all our new members from Arkansas and Pennsylvania. Terry Altmeyer, Bill Moore, Logan Ryan, Debbie Ryan, Steve Chase, welcome.

There is a great passage in the word in the Book of Luke. “When He had said this, He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. And it came to pass, when He came near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mountain called Olivet, that He sent two of His disciples, saying, "Go into the village opposite you, where as you enter you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Loose it and bring it here.

"And if anyone asks you, 'Why are you loosing it?' thus you shall say to him, 'Because the Lord has need of it.'" So those who were sent went their way and found it just as He had said to them.

But as they were loosing the colt, the owners of it said to them, "Why are you loosing the colt?" And they said, "The Lord has need of him."

Then they brought him to Jesus. And they threw their own clothes on the colt, and they set Jesus on him.” Luke 19:28-35

What an attitude! If the Lord needs it, I'll offer it. If the Lord wants it, I'll do it. No questions asked. No explanation needed. No hesitation found. We've seen a rich young man turn back from following because the Lord asked him something he wouldn't do.

This is not the case here. "The Lord needs it!" Such a simple request was met with an equally simple response , no words, just compliance. Little did he know that his act of submission and obedience to Jesus' need would bring about such a glorious event the Triumphal Entry that is described in the following verses. So the question each of us needs to ask today is this: "What does the Lord need from me?" May our response be the same as the unnamed owner of the colt.

Lord …. Do what is necessary to keep it soft and responsive to your will. May I always be open to whatever your Son needs of me. May I respond without hesitation. Most of all, may you be glorified and your Kingdom be served in my willingness to obey.
Ride safe my friends and God bless and keep you guided in His light !!

Good Day,

These days, we are faced along with our children with every form of temptation that the world has to offer right through our TV sets, Radio or even walking down the street...you might say we have become used to it over time.
There is an old saying that if you put a frog in a pot of warm water and slowly turn up the heat it will not know it's cooked until it's to late. John talks about “Lovers of darkness” in the verse below.

"And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. (John 3:19 NKJV)

Some people don't just reject Jesus; they hate God, Christianity, religion, Christians, and anything that smacks of wholesome living. Evil is real and controls the lives of those who give it safe harbor. Evil recoils from truth.

Too often, people not fully controlled by evil end up rejecting the truth of God for a simple reason; they love how they are living and don't want to give it up, we see that at bike rallies all the time.

They are well on their way to being lovers of darkness. Don't let the opposition of evil, or of the Evil One, dull your spiritual senses to God's love and liberating truth. If you find yourself flirting with sin and evil, use the Joseph solution, get up and run like hell!

When evil is allowed a place to grow, it will ultimately lead us to run from the light like cockroaches scurrying for cover when the light comes on. Let's keep our hearts set on Jesus and his righteousness.

Father, keep our hearts tuned to your Son's grace, love, and righteousness. Make me hunger and thirst for your righteousness. Rekindle our desire to seek first your Kingdom and your righteousness. Give us a holy passion to live in your light. In Jesus' holy and mighty name I pray. Amen !!

God Bless and have a great week
