‘The Reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated’.
Yes! This has actually been said a number of times over the last few months
after I suffered a minor health scare back in February that has left me now
with M.E. But because I said from the outset of this blog that I wouldn’t make
this all about ME (Sorry), all I will say is that I am back on line, and give credit to
the church family across the world who have been supporting me and praying for
me.
The reality is, physical life is fragile. Our
lives can change very quickly and unexpectedly when our bodies break down, but
thankfully there is a greater and far more stable life that we can know, and
now I am back, this is the life that I will continue to promote and proclaim.
Back on the road the first opportunity to do
this came from the Irby Motorcycle Show, held at the Shippons Inn in Irby on
the Wirral on the 25th May. Supported by Irby Evangelical Church and the CMA, the day presented
many opportunities to give out biker bibles and to have those conversations that
we hope will lead people to further investigate the good news of life in the
Lord Jesus Christ.
The on-going work continues as we take the
bike to the regular biker meeting points, parking it up with the biblebikes.com
banner on it, again with the hope of giving out bibles and talking to bikers
about the Lord.
But why go to all the trouble? Why not do
what every other biker does and simply go out and ride the bike? Sure, I enjoy biking,
I enjoy the open road and the freedom you feel on a bike; but this life that we
can know in Christ is so much better. Jesus said, ‘I have come that you may
have life and have it to the full’ (John 10:10).
This isn’t physical life, because physical
life can easily fail; rather, this is eternal life, life that will last forever
in heaven, but even more than that, life that lives in a relationship with the
God who created the universe. This life, once received does not fail, get ill,
grow old or die. This life can only come through Jesus as we put our trust in
Him for the forgiveness of sin and make Him the Lord of our lives. This Biker
Pastor did this many years ago and thus despite the reports, he is very much alive.
