Hi, brother Mike!

Richard & I are bikers too (Harley riders), though not “in” the lifestyle any longer with regards to the party scene.

However, Richard has been a biker since he was 13 years old, when his Daddy gave him an old bike of his and told him to rebuild it for himself.  Richard has received MANY tats over the years, many in memory of loved ones and friends, and I received one before I rededicated my life to Yahshua in 2002.  Richard & I had attended a Messianic Congregation at one point in recent years.  The Associated Pastor there took Richard aside on about our fifth visit there, and told him that he needed to dress differently, because the tats on his arms were inappropriate, as were the T-shirts he wore (Richard only dresses in jeans and T-shirt, because that’s what he has and because that’s what he’s comfortable in).  He was absolutely crushed, because in 2001, he rededicated his life to Yahshua, and has been a wonderful witness for the Lord since that time.  I chose to quit going from that point on.  The Lord cares not what we did before we began living for Him, nor does He care if we wear T-shirts and jeans when we worship Him and witness for Him.  If Christians were half as forgiving and loving to one another as He is to us, we’d be tremendously better off, wouldn’t we?  What if Richard had been seeking the Truth, and seeking salvation?  The tongue can be a dangerous weapon, and we can’t take back things that we say… the damage may have already been done.  All I’m saying is we need to be extremely careful in what we say to others… we could be the vessel Father Yahweh uses to bring that person to a saving faith… we could literally be the difference between Life and Death for that person.
 

Keep up the good work for the Lord, Mike!

Much love from your sister in Yahshua!
