Galatians 6:4- You should each judge your own conduct. If it is good, then you can be proud of what you yourself have done, without having to compare it with what someone else has done.

I would like to share a quote from Dr. Gibson: "Chaplain Fellowship Ministries will not judge you, belittle you or criticize you for your past, or your lack of a formal education. Please understand it takes all of us to get the job done, just as Jesus recruited many from different backgrounds. It does not take a college graduate to walk into a biker bar full of bikers, in fact we would not advise it, it takes a biker who has been there"

People were Jesus' top priority. He involved Himself in the lives of people who were considered the worst of sinners, and He met them where they had needs. In doing so, He helped elevate their sense of self worth. One of the ways Jesus gave worth to the people was by showing them their value in God's eyes, by comparing God's care for other creatures with His care for them.

Galatians 1:6-9 - Spiritual enemies also include false teachers. We must be extremely cautious about whom we listen to. Never let anyone tell you that you are not good enough or smart enough to follow the Lords' calling in your lives.

Chaplain Fellowship Ministries Biker Chaplaincy is a place for our Biker Chaplains, in their own ministries, to be able to come for resources, networking with others and provide an opportunity for Non-Clergy to serve in the position of a Chaplain through specific chaplain programs, endorsements and certifications in their chosen field of ministry, thereby, allowing any one who feels called of God to minister at some level as a Chaplain. Our Mission is to qualify, equip, train and recognize those seeking Ministry ordination, documentation, endorsement and certification. Chaplain Fellowship offers training to anyone who feels they need it. Chaplain Bible Institute offers great courses for one to pursue & study. Also be sure to go to our link on "What it takes to become a Chaplain" by Dr. Sonny Fox.

For those of us that live the Biker Lifestyle we all know: 1. RESPECT Is Earned 2. HONESTY Is Appreciated 3. TRUST Is Gained
4. LOYALTY Is Returned. We all need Jesus as our Lord and Savior in our everyday lives. He is the one who can lift us above the degrading forces of evil in the world that tries to tell us we are not good enough. It is Jesus who holds all things together, including our lives. Become a member and receive your God given right to ordination and license as a legal member of the clergy. Take a leap of faith, and watch your whole world, and the way you see thing, literally transform before your very eyes.

Matthew 7: 1-4 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4 or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

When most people think of bikers, they think of rough looking, scruffy, hell raising men and women dressed in leather clad. These bikers can be intimidating to look at. While this grizzly type of a biker is a stereotype, there is a growing segment of the biker population who may still look scruffy and wear the leather, but these men and women are different, they are Christians.

To a certain extent you could say it takes a biker to reach a biker. Generally bikers are a close knit group of people; the common bond of riding motorcycles transcends many cultural differences. Bikers will generally listen to a fellow biker when they would not give the same consideration to someone else. With more and more Christians riding motorcycles the need for fellowship between these brethren increases. As more bikers are reached, the fellowship grows, as well as the effectiveness of the ministry as a whole.

Many of these bikers have always been Christian, others became Christian after years of partying had landed them in rehab where they found their higher power, and others became Christians in prison as a result of prison ministry.

Since bikers come from a culture that is territorial, loyal, and mainly patriotic and known for their all night parties, many bikers feel embarrassed at many mainstream churches because they feel they don't fit in and may be the subject of ridicule. As a result of this, there are biker friendly Churches and Ministries popping up around the world.

There is no doubt, Christian bikers are a growing movement. They can be found in your local church, on the road, at rallies and around the world. They have a noble purpose to save the souls of their fellow bikers.

Romans 10:14-15 But how can people call for help if they don't know who to trust? And how can they know who to trust if they haven't heard of the One who can be trusted? And how can they hear if nobody tells them? And how is anyone going to tell them, unless someone is sent to do it?
