HOLY HARLEY...BIKES FOR JESUS

Sometimes I just sit in amazement at the length that some of the more established TV preachers will go to convince their flock that the expenditure of considerable cash of ministry money for a really non essential ministry item..is of..THE LORD. It appears that the fast growing new status toy within more financially gifted preachers and singers..wives..children..and other worthy ministry dependants..is....you guessed it..the HARLEY DAVISON. That rock of all two wheel power vehicles..the king of the road..the envy of the faithful..the most lusted after motorcycle in America..their personal the Cruiser..the Hog..the Electro-glide..
Now we are talking some truly serious dollars here.Try $25,000.00 plus for whatever you want on it, and you know that Jesus wants you to have the very best because you are a Kings Kid..and you deserve the very best. The next problem faced is , how to explain the essential need of a Harley-Davison in the spreading of the good news of the gospel of our Lord. They are never short of creative thinking within their organizations for such gifts to themselves as this..you guessed again..HARLEY'S for JESUS..HOLY HARLEYS..tools of the ministry to save a lost group of people unable to be reached by car..the BIKER.
They even have the cool to make up "color vests"..with great spiritual logos..intimidating graphics..all the trappings of the authentic biker...one thing greatly missing..real bikers for the most part look upon them with amusement..they don't even resemble the real thing..Here they are in their biker get up..with their real tricked out Harley's..with their make-up..manacured fingernails..hairsprayed hair..perfume..shined up as usual..great gold jewelry and acrutiments..designer sunglasses..designer jeans..and really no place to go..They ban together form clubs..ride together film themselves..put it on the TV..and tell us how the ministry is reaching into new venues...your dollars pay for the bikes..the clothes..and every other wish of theirs..God has allowed you to put your money into good soil..their ministry...their bike..their pocket..and they are doing it for Jesus...HOLY HARLEY!!!!will we ever learn?..this is tax deductable for them..another way they are reaching into the world and into your pocket..what happened to the widows..orphans..homeless..hungry..you know, the ones GOD instructed you and I who are blessed to give our increase to,.. to give them a share
