some wear the shirt...others ride

had a conversation with a guy wearin a harley shirt while standing in line the other day. when i asked him what he rode, he answered "don't got one...just got the shirt."

i used to be like that. kept the shirt just to keep the dream alive. most of us fantasize about what we want by surrounding ourselves with tokens of what we want.

got me thinking...

no one is in control.
no one is safe.
no one want to suffer.
no one understands the reality of sin.
no one enjoys loss.
no one really believes the hype...do they?


some folks talk, others do.
some folks talk about God, others talk of him.
some folks wear the shirt, others ride.
some folks work to live, others work to live.
some folks complain, others take action.

some people depend on government, others depend on themselves.
some people expect a handout, others work to give.
some people look to get over, others do what it takes.

most of us say we believe...
most of us want a god in our image...
most of us treat the bible with less than...
most of us are short sighted...
most of us do what we want to do...
most of us have dirty little secrets...
most of us need to be reminded...
most of us want more stuff...
most of us want comfort and wealth...

all of us are sinners in need of redemption...
all of us have played the harlott...
all of us can make a difference...
all of us are not the same...
all of us need to remember...
all of us are are a blink away from eternity...
all of us stand in need of forgiveness...
all of us need to share the biblical gospel...mans need and god's provision.
all of us will die.

things of faith are difficult to discuss.
things are coming to an end.

Christ in you the hope of glory.
