Resolution or
Repentance ?
No. 3
It’s that time of
year, again.
Right?
A few years ago,
we wrote you
about receiving
an email from a
person who said
that they were
going to change
some things for
the New Year.
We usually call
DEAR FELLOW ABATE MEMBERS the resolve to
change things,
resolutions. The
online Encarta Dictionary includes the following definitions
within its description: a firm decision to do something; firm-
ness of mind or purpose or, an answer to a problem. With reso-
lutions, we usually want to correct something that is wrong, not
good for us, or make an improvement in our lives or situation.
The problem with a resolution is found within its definition, "to
do something." It basically implies it is something that will be
done in the future. If you plan to do something in the future
then, some of that "firmness of mind or purpose" can easily be
worn off by the time that you had planned to take action. Then,
sometimes for the very few that ever act on a resolution, they
find that alleged, "answer to a problem" may not really solve the
problem or they just go back to their old ways.
So, this New Year, may we again, suggest repentance?
To us, repentance is something that comes deeper from the heart
than a resolution. The meaning of repentance is to have a change
of mind or a change of purpose (this sounds a little like a resolu-
tion). In order to begin the process, we are told in Psalms 51:3,
that before God, we must acknowledge our transgressions. We
must acknowledge that these transgressions have been against
God. In 2 Corinthians 7:9 and 10, we are told that we must have
a godly sorrow for sin. In Luke 18:13, Jesus gives us a picture
of the publican and repentance, "But the tax collector, standing
some distance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to
heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to
me, the sinner!'
John the Baptist was a forerunner of Jesus. If he was here today,
we could definitely call him a Messiah's Messenger! He came
to prepare the nation of Israel for their Messiah. In Matthew
3:1and 2, "In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in
the Desert of Judea (while possibly standing on top of his dirt
bike/trike) and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is
near." As it was then, it is still necessary today that in order to
make some lifesaving changes, one must repent. In Acts 11:18;
the scriptures tell us that repentance itself is a gift of God. To-
day, God is offering that gift to you, so that you can have repen-
tance unto everlasting life. There are too many in this world that
say, "I can live my life for self and the world and then, I can
repent and turn to God when I decide." The problem with that is
you could get so deep into sin that you may think you’re not able
to get out. And, the devil tricks you into saying to yourself that
it's too late. Of course, one of the obvious problems that I'm sure
everyone reading this will agree upon; there is no guarantee that
when you get on your motorcycle or get in your car to go places
today, that you will make it alive. Jesus could return at any mo-
ment. There is no guarantee that you will be alive two minutes
from now. With every minute that passes by, you are one minute
closer to eternity. The Lord could come back for you. At that
point, the only thing that will make a difference as to how you
will spend eternity (and eternity means forever) is if you had
accepted the gift that God has offered. 2 Peter 3: 9 says, "The
Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand
slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish,
but everyone to come to repentance."
A resolution cannot offer you a change that will help you into
eternity. However, repentance offers an inner change that can
help you now and usher you into eternity to be with our Heav-
enly Father.
If you wish to repent and accept what God has for you, will you
repeat this prayer? Repentance is now, not like a resolution that
will be acted upon in the future. If you pray for this, you will
have made a total commitment to God. He does not promise that
all bad situations in your life will instantly change. Some things
may change, at once, with your change of heart, with God living
within you. Other things may take time. But, isn't it better to
have God with you to face things, rather than to have to face
things alone? He wants to partner with you. He wants to be at
the center of your life. Now, invite Him in.
Please pray this prayer: "Dear God, the God of Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob, my heavenly Father, I confess that I am a
sinner and have been separated from You. I ask forgiveness
of my sins. I repent and accept this gift of repentance. I con-
fess with my mouth that your son Jesus is my savior and
died for me. I believe in my heart that You raised Him from
the dead. I receive Jesus into my heart and ask Him to be-
come the center of my life. I ask, in the Name of Je-
sus. Amen."
If you have prayed this prayer and it came from the heart, then
we can truly say, HAPPY NEW YEAR and a HAPPY NEW
LIFE! For 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, "Therefore, if anyone is in
Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has
come!"

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN;
This is a story I’ve been wanting to tell
since April 2010. In the spirit of good
will, I have bit my tongue since that
State Meeting, which I attended..
I am a State Delegate and Safety Direc-
tor for the Southwest Chapter of ABATE
of Florida, Inc. (American Bikers Aim-
ing Toward Education). For the past five
years I have volunteered to teach MSAP
(Motorcycle Safety Awareness Program)
in Lee County High School Drivers
Education classes.
At the April 2010 State Meeting in Talla-
hassee, my Safety Instructors and I were
absolutely disrespected and ignored.
During that meeting, numerous awards
were handed out to ABATE Members
who worked at Daytona Bike Week, sell-
ing beer and hot dogs, and manning se-
curity posts. The Safety Instructors
were not even mentioned. No “Thank
you”, no “Kudos”, NOTHING!
I thought ABATE was dedicated to mo-
torcycle safety and awareness. Appar-
ently Not. My feelings were hurt. I
trained safety instructors to teach MSAP
for several Southwest Florida Chapters.
We can teach motorcycle safety with Jay
Anderson @ “Stay Alive Just Drive” and
get more thanks than ABATE of Flor-
ida, Inc. ever gave us.
With sincere regret, we are forced to re-
sign because the State doesn’t recognize
we exist! Why would we want to be
members of an organization that doesn’t
even say, “Thank you for all your
work”?
Practice what we teach.
WATCH FOR MOTORCYCLES!
Nuthin’ but Love,
Birdie, Smokey and Richard
MSAP Instructors
