Biker Rally Raises Money For Charity

Prayers answered! Praise Glory! Love and Blessings to all the Prayer Warriors! Wasn't the weather just awful last weekend - LOL. Prayer is Power! We know someone who is on the rally committee and she said that this was their worst one attendence wise and weather wise. She said the vendors were all complaining. I guess some of them will think that the weather turned bad by happenstance - but we know better! Now we must work extra hard over the next year to nip this thing in the bud. Keep praying, organize in your church, circulate petitions, go to city hall meetings, and talk to your neighbors and co-workers. Let's all work together toward bringing a wholesome, family event to our park. How about a gospel music festival at the park? Let's have good clean Christian music and preaching that will appeal to all ages and all races. Let's come together and worship as one city. That is what the people of Crystal Springs want and deserve. Be sure to let Mayor Evans and your aldermen know how you feel about this. Remember - it's our town and our park! Prayer is Power! Love and Blessings - I am so very proud of you all!

Sorry my friend, we did not get any rain at the park at all, just a few sprinkles Saturday Morning.

All of the vendors were very happy, we know that because we gave them survey sheets to fill out. All of them said they would be back next year.

All of our bands were very good, and we had a good crowd on hand. By the way, one of the bands is a Christian Rock Band....

And in spite of your wanting our gracious Lord to rain out the Christian Motorcycle Association, they were there in force to witness to riders about our savior and bless the bikes. You should know that Godblesses the ones that go to the people and praise his name.

We had a wonderful time at our rally this year, and will be back next year in full force.

All of you are invited back, especially, the two of you that attended this year..one rides a motorcycle. Imagine that.

By the way, if all of you are so sure of what you are doing why don't you put your real names on here instead of hiding behind a fake name so no one will know who your are.

God Bless you and have a wonderful day

I’m with Suzie Q - we can have a great gospel music concert and Meth Cook-off. That would for sure get all of CS out to the park.

I notice from your previous posts that you strongly support the biker rally. I conclude from your cynical posts that: 1. you are not a Christian and 2. you seem to hate Crystal Springs. Therefore, I am sure that your attitude fits in real well with the biker bunch.

I know you and I think you probably know who I am. You are a good man, but you are supporting a bad thing. I think that if you would thaw your heart and look at this from the Christian viewpoint you would agree that the biker lifestyle is not something that we as Christians should seek to imitate or glorify. By donning the costume of a biker and pretending to be a big bad biker many weak Christians and sadly even church leaders (pastors, deacons, Sunday School teachers, etc.) are doing just that. I fear that if this thing continues to put down roots here we will wind up with what they now have in Sturgis, SD. We don't want that and I think that in your heart you don't want that. Disagreement does not have to equal hate. We have nothing but love for you and your supporters. We pray that all of our brothers and sisters will come to realize that all of that drinking, cussing, smoking and foul language and the worshipping of a machine (motorcycle) over our Lord is just wrong. We shall continue to pray for you and your followers. Love and Blessings to you all.

I am glad you know me, I may or may not know you and I really don't think it would make any difference.

My heart is not frozen and I DO look at the rally from a Christian viewpoint. I just happen to love riding motorcycles and asscociating with other people that ride as well. I am not going to judge you like you judge me and everyone else that rides a motorcycle. I know for a fact that the people that are members of the rally committee are good solid christians, and strive every day to live their life for our lord.

What I don't understand is how a small group of "Christians" believe it is alright by Christian standards to judge other people just because of what they ride and what they wear. That is the only way you know us, you do not know our hearts.

I suppose if I walked into your Church on Sunday Morning dressed like a biker, that you would automatically assume that I was a lost soul and not part of his kindom. I wonder if you would invite me to your alter or ignore me because of my dress code.

By reading what you say about us, you have not looked up the works of the Christian Motorcycle Association. I challenge you and your friends to go to ccc.cmsusa.org and read their doctrinal statement. If after you read that and you still think they are doing the Devils work then it is you that has the problem.


Just to set you straight on a couple of things. one, we do not worship our bikes, drinking, smoking, cussing or anything else over our God. Two, If you look at our website or come to our rally, you will find that we advertize as a family oriented rally. That tells the one percent of bikers that give the rest of us a bad name, that
we don't want them here, and they do not come.

You are right when you say "disagreement does not have to equal hate" I don't hate you because you don't agree with me, you and I are brothers and sisters in Christ.

You say that you know me, if you think for one minute that I would put my name on anything close to what you think this rally represents, then my friend, you don't know me at all.

One last thing, you should sign your name as I have to show that you are not ashamed of what you speak.

God Bless

Andy P - How do we know you are a Christian? I like Crystal Springs I just dont like you or any of the Meth heads in CS.

Why is it that you never address the issues that the lady brings up? You would make a real good politician because you are real artful at saying alot but what you say does not amount to anything. Maybe its because you know that Suzie Q is right and you cannot possibly defend your position. As for the CMA, as an old Baptist I was raised to believe that if you don't condem sin then you condone it. Witnessing to sinners is well and good, but a Christian should not get down into the pig pen and wallow with them. I personally think that most of these "bikers" should grow up and quit playing lets dress up and pretend that we are biker gangsters. Many of them should also consider a shave and a haircut. Long hair might have been "cool" when you were in your teens or twenties but when you are fifty, sixty, or older it looks kinda dumb. Instead of wasting thousands of dollars on your biker make believe, why not donate that money to the church. Most of the "bikers" will not do that though because what it all boils down to is what THEY want. It doesn't matter what negative impact their selfishness may have on our town - THEY want it because THEY want it. Kinda like spoiled, selfish children. Folks its time to grow up.

Andy P, when you get big enough to say who you are, I will be glad to continue my conversation with you, until then you make no impact at all on this subject.

Have a blessed day, Jack

I must have really hit home talking about Meth heads. You should see someone and get clean.

What a bonehead thing to say. You can't dispute what Suzie Q and others have said so I suppose that it is best that you just say nothing.

Please get help. Devil

Prayer warriors I really want you all to continue praying that the Lord will continue to touch the hearts of all those involved with this rally. I understand that several key sponsers have decided that they will not sponser this thing next year. Praises! We must also pray for and contact our town leaders about our concerns. We cannot wait until next October to let our feelings be known. We must crush the snake eggs before they hatch. They had their worst weather and worst attendance at the '09 rally. Praises! Working and praying together we can surely free our town of this bondage. Praises and Blessings to you all!

If you crush the snake eggs where are you going to get snakes for the snake handling you do at church?

We do not handle snakes at our church brother. We believe in the full word.

This just goes to show you just how stupid and trashy the ones who want this low life mess in our town really are. Those who mock God do so at their own peril.
