^{Romans 10:13-15
13} For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
¹⁴ How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
¹⁵ And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

It is inevitable, when a group of bikers come rolling into a town or a city, one doesn’t necessarily have to see them to know they’ve arrived, but there is a sound that precedes the group.

From 1988 to 2019, an annual Memorial Day weekend motorcycle demonstration known as Rolling Thunder was held in Washington DC to raise awareness for POW’s and MIA’s. I was able to attend the last official Rolling Thunder ride in 2019. It was awe inspiring to watch the thousands upon thousands of bikes rolling into the Pentagon parking lot. There was indeed a thunderous sound.

As awe inspiring as it was to witness that many motorcycles in one place, and the sound that came with it, it was temporary. Soon, we departed DC, and headed home, no longer accompanied by thousands of bikes. The only thing left to hold onto from that moment was the memory.

I love loud pipes. I like to hear the roar when the throttle is twisted. I enjoy the rumble a group of bikes make when powering up the road in unison. But, just as Rolling Thunder became a memory in my mind, so will the rumble of our bikes be a distant memory in the minds of the people in each town we pass through.

But, we have an opportunity to leave something behind in each town we go through, and with each person we come in contact with, that will far surpass any physical sound from a set of Longshots or Tab Performance pipes.

…how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

The word preacher in this verse, is translated as a herald or public messenger proclaiming the message. How shall they hear without ASR?

Did the last town only hear how loud my pipes were, or did they hear about a Savior, who laid down His life for them while they were yet sinners?

Did the people at the last fuel station only hear the roar as I left the parking lot, or did they have an encounter with a messenger of Jesus Christ?

Does the general public only remember the rumble of the bikes as they passed by, or do they remember a leather clad biker, wearing a message of hope on his back, coming up to them with the love of Jesus shining forth, bringing glad tidings of good things?

As we head into a brand new riding season, take some time alone with God, and embrace the calling that you have on your life, so when you hit the road, there is purpose beyond the ride.

What a tragedy for them to have only heard us, and to never know HIM.

By Sis. Jennifer Hayes

Today I was thinking about Spring. It is a beautiful season, bringing life to what was dead. We’ve been preparing for our Easter play at church, and there’s a song about Jesus making all things new again. I can’t help but compare spring to this song.

Jesus promised to make all things new. Lametations 3:22-23 says, His mercies are new each morning and because of His mercies we are not consumed. Many of us have gone through, or are going through a season that feels like were going to be consumed by all the darkness in it. All you can see is the dark. You feel like giving up, you feel like God doesn’t hear you, or isn’t even listening. This is a season but death is not the end. Jesus felt death. He experienced it. But, it wasn’t the end. He made something new out of His death.

I can’t help but think of the verse in Proverbs 6:6-8, Go to the ant, thou sluggard; Consider her ways, and be wise: Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. Verse 10 says yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep.

In the dark and dreary seasons it would be easy to throw up our hands and just give up sleep. But, I challenge everyone reading this to be like the ANTS. They are constantly working. They are prudent and care about the future. Studies have found that ants nap, on average, 250 times a day, lasting just over a minute each time. They take a one minute nap and they’re back at it. They are constantly looking for new places to go and colonize. Also, they leave behind a scent of where they have been so they know how to get back home.

We need to mark the dark and dreary seasons as landmarks, or take a one minute nap if you will,  and get back out there working for the kingdom, finding new locations to reach the lost.

Find new fields to harvest. In John 9:4 I must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

I pray that Spring will bring newness. That even though you have went through a season that was dark and dreary, and it felt like it was going to consume you that you will use that moment of darkness as a landmark to mark where the newness will begin.

The song, “I Got A New Thing Coming”, has been on my mind for a month, and I believe ASR is going to see a new thing this year. We’ve seen people repent of their sins, get baptized in Jesus Name, and receive the Holy Ghost. We have witnessed people being healed.

I just believe with my whole heart that this year, we’re going reap more than what we have ever seen before, and now is not the time to fold our hands and sleep, but to rise up and be like the ants, and work while there is time.

I love each and everyone of you,  and pray for you often.
