Bikers and Bibles


A recent article I wrote dealt with the Black Sheep Harley-Davidsons for Christ organization - an international group of committed Christian bikers who minister to Harley Owners Group (H.O.G.) members and other motorcyclists. The passion of the Arizona regional director Tom Anthony and his wife Tina, one of the first women chapter presidents (there are still only 3 worldwide) is palpable. My lead mentioned they not only wore leather but carried it in their saddlebags (their Bibles). They spoke of how ministering the mercy of GOD to folks who might never go inside a church propelled their mission (though a membership prerequisite for all Black Sheep is they attend a local church ). Mercy of GOD got me to Psalm 136 with its 'call and response' refrain. "For His mercy endureth forever" is repeated in all 26 verses!
Verse 1: O give thanks unto The Lord: for His mercy endureth forever!" and verse 26 "O give thanks unto The GOD of heaven: for his mercy endureth forever!" Its a wondrous read and I encourage you to check it out. Regardless of where we are or what we've been, we can be assured "His mercy endureth forever!"
