Our Statement of Purpose

The purpose of the STATE-LINE MOTORCYCLE MINISTRY INC. is to evangelize, minister and disciple all people with the primary emphasis of reaching for Jesus Christ those who call themselves, "bikers"; that is those who actively pursue a lifestyle that is centered around the motorcycle and who are, themselves, motorcycle riders or associates of such people.

Our Statement of Faith

I. THE HOLY SCRIPTURES: We believe the Holy Scriptures of both the Old and the New Testaments to be the verbally inspired Word of God, and the final authority for faith and life, inerrant and infallible in the original writings. (II Timothy 3:16,17; II Peter 1:20,21; Isaiah 8:20; Psalms 119:105)

II. THE GODHEAD: We believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - co-equal in power and glory. (Deuteronomy 6:4; II Corinthians 13:14)

III. THE PERSON AND WORK OF CHRIST: We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful man. (John 1:1,2; John 1:14; Luke 1:35)

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through His death on the cross as a representative, vicarious substitutionary sacrifice, and that our justification is made sure by His Literal, physical resurrection from the dead. (Romans 3:24,25; I Peter 2:24; Ephesians 1:7; I Peter 1:3-5)

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ ascended to heaven, and is now exalted at the right hand of God, where as our High Priest, He fulfills the ministry of Representative, Intercessor and Advocate. (Acts 1:9; Hebrews 9:24; Romans 8:34; I John 1:1,2)

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ shall return to the earth at an hour known only to the Heavenly Father, and that because the time of His coming is hidden, believers should live in a state and attitude of constant readiness for His return. We believe that in God's proper time there shall be a tribulation Period, after which the Lord Jesus Christ shall set up His Millennial Kingdom on the earth. (Titus 2:15; John 14:3; Revelation 19:11-16; 20:1-6; I Thessalonians 4:13-18)

IV. THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT: We believe that the Holy Spirit convicts the

World of sin, of righteousness, and of Judgment, and that He indwells the souls of all believers, sealing them unto the day of redemption. (John 16:8-11; II Corinthians 3:6; I Corinthians 12:12,13; Romans 8:9; Ephesians 1:13,14)

We believe that He is the divine Teacher who guides believers into all truth, speaking in the Scripture, and that it is the privilege as well as the duty of all the saved to be filled with and controlled by the Spirit. (John 16:13; Ephesians 5:18)

We believe sanctification in the Holy Spirit to be the work of God's free grace, whereby we are renewed in the whole man after the image of God, and are enabled step by step to live unto righteousness and true holiness. (Ephesians 4:23,24; Romans 6:6,14; 8:4; II Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14)

V. CREATION: We believe that God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, in the beginning, by

the word of His power, made from nothing the heavens and the earth and all things therein within the space of six days, and all very good. (Genesis 1; Exodus 20:11; Jeremiah 10:12)

VI. THE PERSONALITY OF SATAN: We believe that Satan is a person, the author of sin,

and the cause of the fall; that he is the open and declared enemy of God and man; and

that he shall be eternally punished in the lake of fire. (Job 1:6,7; Isaiah 14:12-17;

Matthew 4:2-11; 25:41; Revelation 20:10)

VII. THE TOTAL DEPRAVITY OF MAN: We believe that man was created in the image

of God, but that in Adam's sin the race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God. We believe that man is, of himself, utterly unable to remedy his lost condition. (Genesis 1:26,27; Romans 3:22,23; Ephesians 2:1-3; Romans 5:12)

VIII. SALVATION: We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and

Received by repentance from sin and by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His shed blood. (Ephesians 2:8,9; John 1:12; I Peter 1:18,19; Hebrews 9:25,26; 10:19; 12:24; Revelation 1:5)

IX. THE ASSURANCE OF BELIEVERS: We believe it is the privilege of believers to

Rejoice in the assurance of their salvation through the testimony of God's Word, which, however, clearly forbids the use of Christian liberty as an occasion to the flesh and clearly warns believers to avoid unbelief and licentiousness. (Romans 13:13,14; Galatians 5:13; Titus 2:11-15; Hebrews 3:12,13; 6:9)

X. THE NEW NATURE OF BELIEVERS: We believe that throughout this earthly life

Every saved person possesses a new nature, with provision made for victory of the new nature over the flesh through the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit. We believe that final and complete victory shall be accomplished at our glorification after this life is spent. (Ephesians 4:22-24; Colossians 3:10; Romans 6:6,13; I John 3:5-10)

XI. OBLIGATIONS OF BELIEVERS: We believe that it is the obligation of the redeemed

to witness by life and by word to the truths of the Holy Scriptures and to seek to proclaim the Gospel to all mankind. All Believers are under obligation, therefore, to sustain established witnesses and to contribute by prayers, gifts and personal effort to the extension of the Gospel throughout the whole earth. (Mark 16:15; Acts 1:8; II Corinthians 5:19,20)

We believe that the saved should live in such manner that they should not bring reproach upon their Savior and Lord, and that separation from all religious apostasy, all worldly and sinful pleasures, practices, and associations is commanded of God. (II Timothy 3:1-5; II John 8-11; I John 2:15-17; II Corinthians 5:19,20)

XII. THE ETERNAL STATE: We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men, the saved

unto eternal life, and the unsaved to judgement and everlasting punishment. (Matthew 25:46; John 5:28,29; 11:25,26; Revelation 20:5,6; 12,13)

We believe that the spirits of the redeemed are, at death, from the body and present with the Lord, where in conscious bliss they await the first resurrection. (Luke 23:43; Revelation 20:4-6; Philippians 1:23; 3:21; I Thessalonians 4:16,17)

We believe that the spirits of the unregenerate remain, after death, in conscious misery until the second resurrection, when they shall appear at the Great White throne Judgement, and shall be cast into the lake of Fire, not to be annihilated, but to suffer everlasting conscious punishment. (Luke 16:19-26; Matthew 25:41-46; II Thessalonians 1:7-9; Jude 6,7; Revelations 20:11-15)

The Horizon

 

With God's grace, State-Line Motorcycle Ministry Inc. can expand its ministry into the biker community.

We want to attend more bike rallies, sponsor more retreats, hold more Bible studies and lead more

bikers to Christ. We would like to open a "Bikers Coffee House in Greenville, SC" in the future.

 

Donations are used to help with:

- Purchasing Bibles and literature to give to the bikers

- Travel expenses

- Operational expenses such as mailings, long distance phone calls, and vehicle maintenance

 

Please consider our ministry in your prayers and in your giving, as God leads you.

State-Line Motorcycle Ministry Inc. currently attends 10 to 15 bike rallies a year up and down the East Coast, where we set up our coffee wagon, pass out Bibles and literature, counsel Christians and witness to non-Christians. We sponsor biker retreats each year in the mountains of South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee, where we study and teach God's Word.

I grew up in Baltimore, Maryland with motorcycles as an important part of my life. But God

came first from the age of 25, when I was saved. I eventually sold my bikes to attend Bob Jones

University and join the ministry. I worked my way through college as a mechanic, and one day a

customer was unable to pay for my services - so he offered me a used motorcycle. That's when I

started to attend local bike rallies.

 

The History

 

At my second rally, while waiting in line

for a soft drink, God spoke to me. He

asked me why I wasn't witnessing to

my fellow bikers. Since that day,

week-by-week, rally-by-rally,

God's motorcycle ministry

has grown.

 

Now I've been riding eighteen years for the Lord, twelve years full-time. So the next time you hear the 

thump-thump-thumping of a motorcycle down the street, think of it not as a sound of potential trouble,

but as the sound of potential salvation.

 

We're on...
