Riding the Gnar

Source inspiration: Romans 5:1-5 [KJV]

¹Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: ²By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. ³And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; ⁴And patience, experience; and experience, hope: ⁵And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

Blooming in burnt boundaries.

Old man Moses

Did ride the gnar.

Full rigid, fixed gear

Singlespeed

Down Mt. Sinai;

No one will deny.

So scary,

His hair turned gray.

But he kept his line;

Did not go astray.

Young man

Christ Jesus,

Did ride the gnar.

A new generation,

Full suspension, multigear,

Doubled crowned.

All the way to Calvary.

Along the way,

Other riders did see;

Even Pharisees and Sadducees

were inspired.

Such a gnarly ministry.

Gospel truth.

Even on Broadway,

Christ Jesus Superstar.

Christ Jesus and disciples

In the early ministry,

Loved the outdoors;

Walking, hiking, backpacking,

Horseback and donkey riding,

Boating, camping, fishing, hunting,

Rockclimbing and even water walking!

Over the hills and sea of Galilee;

Feet blistering, chaffing,

Face sunburning, skin bug biting;

Often times hungering and thristing.

Teaching, edifying, healing,

Set apart; sanctified.

Saints and soul riders;

Rejoice,

Today, they would be mountain biking!

Saints and Angels,

Ride the gnar.

The anointed chain edifies

And sanctifies.

Daily prayer;

Daily ride.

In every muscle and sinew;

Let it move you.

Saints; Soul Riders,

Yes, it’s true.

Rejoice

We have a choice;

Gather around;

Stir up the ground;

Be like salt; essential;

Enhance, preserve,

And satisfy.

Edify.

Ride the singletrack gnar;

Not always easy;

But public and free

Regardless of your pedigree.

This is the story

Christ Jesus in us,

The hope of glory.

Muscles, sinews, joints

Made to move

With regularity.

Documented in

Many chapters

Like Acts.

Ride the gnar;

Bring your armor.

Off the ride,

Be soul armored.

When ungloved,

Hands and feet

So pale;

Arms and legs,

Dark; sun toasted.

His hands and feet,

Impaled and posted;

It was done;

His life fulfilled;

Holy ghosted.

Saints and Angels,

We are blessed.

Ride in open space sanctuary;

Stir it up; edify; rumble;

Murmur not nor grumble or mumble.

Perhaps in open space,

All is heard and echoed.

Be blessed and be kept.
