★Tom's own story

How Pastor Tom found the Sabbath

Painting of an open Bible resting on a motorcycle seat, a winding road and golden mountains beyond

Tom first heard the Sabbath at Kenneth Cox’s evangelistic meetings. “I told him he couldn’t be right about that, because everybody knows there’s only one day you go to church on.” Then he studied it for himself. Lesson 13 is that study.

“Bikers, when you have an owner’s manual, it tells you how to take care of your bike. The Bible is God’s owner’s manual.” Tom’s been to Israel four times. He’s stood at Qumran, where a shepherd boy throwing rocks found the Dead Sea Scrolls, and they match the Bible we read today.

“Just get down on your knees, Brother Biker, and get that book open. Start reading it.”
