I must pause to explain my definition of a "secular" motorcycle club.  By secular, I simply mean a group whose focus is not Jesus Christ.  It is the opposite of the word "sacred."  I would consider the song "Amazing Grace" to be a sacred song while a song like "Deep in the Heart of Texas" would be considered to be of a secular nature.  I use the word secular to refer to club's whose focus is not Jesus Christ. 

I personally feel that as a Christians, we shouldn't withdraw from the world.  I feel that we should go into the darkest corners of the world and shine the Light of Jesus.  We should chase the darkness away.  I've made it a personal mission of mine to be available to any member of my local secular motorcycle club.  Over the past few years since I've been in CMA, I've tried to present myself as a servant to the club so that people will see a humble, Christ-like spirit in me.  When the Holy Spirit starts tugging on a person's heart, I want them to know that I will be there for them and will support them, pray with them, and offer any wisdom I have to them. 

CMA is not a club.  It is a ministry.  What good is a ministry that does not go out and minister? 

Some would say that some clubs are too bad to hang around with (e.g. 1% type clubs).  Well, I'll leave that decision up to each of you. I would like to remind you of the parable that Jesus told about the shepherd who left the 99 sheep to go out to look for the 1 that was lost.  Simply put, if not you and me...then who? 

For this reason, if a conflict comes up where there is a secular rally in conflict with a CMA rally and I'm not assured that there will be a significant Christian presence at the secular rally, I will opt for that one over the secular rally.  We are here to serve the Lord and to share his message of our redemption through Christ Jesus.  All we can say is "yes Lord, send me." 

By the way, I wear CMA colors on my back.
