We live in interesting times. A time when you can print something from a computer in 3D. Open a program, create something, send it to the printer and there you have it.
Someone did this with a motorcycle.
Cool concept, it was a full size bike.
Cool concept, it was a full size bike.
However no one could ride it. It looked like a motorcycle but was it really a motorcycle?
A motorcycle, above everything else, was created for a purpose and that purpose is to be ridden. To allow the rider to hear the motor, feel the vibration through their body as they ride full throttle, wind in their face.
A motorcycle is a celebration of movement.
That 3D sculpture looked like a bike, but it could not be ridden. It may look like a motorcycle, but it does not act like one.
We too are created for a purpose.
"For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)
We can accept Christ, be saved, and then spend the rest of our time exercising our faith only by going to church. What kind of faith is that?
One without any movement.
"What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, "Go in peace; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
But someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds."
Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.
You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.
You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless?" James 2:14-20 (NIV)
Love God, love people, do something about it.
We need to get moving. That's the only way to invite others to join the ride.
