Because of that and other things we've seen and heard, we know the things those old prophets were talking about were true. Pay attention to what they wrote. Their words are like a warm campfire on a cold, dark night. Their words will keep you out of the dark and warm until the morning star, Jesus Christ, shines in your hearts.

Lot lived there, but was rescued because he didn't like what was going on around him and didn't conduct his business in the same way those heathens did.

Even angels, with all their might and power, do not condemn or make fun of anyone before God—not even the counterfeit cowboys. That's because the angels are smart and the counterfeits are not.

The Lord isn't slow-bucking his promises to us. He is being patient with all of us so that all who can be will be saved. He wants everyone to turn from their sins and ride for him. He's going to wait as long as he can because he doesn't want anyone to be destroyed. He's waiting for everyone to turn loose of their sins.

But if we ride in the light, because he is the light, then we all belong to the same crew with one another. The blood of the Son unites and cleanses us all of our sins.

If we claim we have not sinned, then we are calling God a liar because he said we are all sinners. To make this claim proves we do not ride for Him.

I write to tell you kids that your sins are forgiven because of Christ.

I write to you fathers because you ride in faith and know Jesus, who has been there since the beginning. I am writing to you young people to let you know the devil has been defeated.

I write to you kids because you know the Boss. I write to you fathers because you know the one who was there in the beginning. I write to you young people because you are tough. The word of God rides with you and in you, and you have defeated the devil.

But all of y'all are here because Jesus gave y'all the Holy Spirit and you all know the truth.

I'm not writing you to tell you some truth you don't know. I'm writing to you because you do know the truth. It ain't hard to understand that no lies comes from the truth.

Jesus came to save us from our sins. He was the only one who could because he never sinned himself.

Those who ride for God don't continue to sin intentionally. If you ride for God, then you become like God because he is your Boss. God doesn't sin and neither should you.

Don't be like Cain, who rode for the devil and killed his own brother, Abel. Why did Cain kill his own brother? Because Cain did wrong things and Abel did right things.

We have already died and come back to life because we love others. Those who hate are still under the curse of death.

Even if we might feel guilty, God is bigger than our feelings because he knows everything.

Our prayers will be answered because we ride the way he says to ride and we do things he likes.

Do these and you will ride with him and he will ride with you. And we know he is riding with us because the Spirit he sent rides with us twenty-four seven.

Listen, cowboys. Just because some hombre rides up claiming to have the Spirit in his life don't make it so. There's been a ton of counterfeit cowboys who have made the same claim.

These counterfeit cowboys talk only of things in this world and how to get them. That's because they are slaves to this world, not God.
