GREETINGS CMA

Family . I should not be , but I am still amazed by the sacrifices that all of you make for the Kingdom of God . We are all driven by the love of God and love for God in our lives , but that is not all . The love for the lost people of this world keeps us going even when we don ' t feel like going . We work rallies , go to motorcycle gatherings , and spread the Good News of Jesus Christ , and when someone thanks us for being there , our reaction is no thanks necessary . We try to be Jesus to this world , but the truth that keeps us going is we are so amazed that Jesus loved us so much that He laid down His life for us that we can ' t help but tell others of His love .
We are all called to the lost , but just like the body , we all have our part to do . The members called to minister to the secular bikers are not offended by their speech or the way they dress . These members can show and tell these bikers that no matter what they have done in their lives , they have not done too much or gone too far . Jesus will forgive , save , and welcome them into His family with a clean slate . The members called to minister at the family-friendly events are doing the same job , except they must explain that no matter how good a life they have lived , you can ' t be good enough to get to Heaven on your own works . I believe that convincing the person who has lived life always trying to do the right thing is more challenging than talking to those who have lived for themselves .
We are all children of the most high King , and our lives and souls have been bought with a price : the BLOOD of Jesus Christ . No thanks are necessary when someone thanks us , but the truth is that all the thanks and glory , praise , and honor go to Jesus Christ ! We are new creations and a member of the
royal family . I am so proud of you and your sacrifices for the Kingdom of God . Please remember that it is worth it : the early mornings , the late nights , the rain and hail , the miles we ride , and the places we go because someone ' s eternity depends on it . Just remember , at one time in our lives , we were someone who needed to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ . CMA
