You will help them see with open eyes so they will no longer walk in darkness, but the light. You will help them turn from Satan and ride for God. Then they will be forgiven for their sorry ways and have a spot on God's outfit. And the only way you get there is through me.'

I preached first to those in the Damascus area. Then I preached in Jerusalem and all of Judea. Then I went to the mavericks, or Gentiles, so all would turn from their sorry ways and ride for God. And the proof of this change was the good things they did.

but God has protected me. He protected me so all might hear the truth. Folks from the greatest to the least have heard it. And the crazy thing is I only preach what Moses and the other great prophets said would happen.

Paul shrugged his shoulders and said, "I care not if it is today or tomorrow. I just pray to God you and everyone else here might become like me . . . except for the chains that lay heavy upon me."

The angel said to me, 'Do not fear, Paul. You will stand before Caesar. And because of you, God is going to save everyone on the ship.'

So take courage, men! God will do what he says he will do.

Paul then took some bread, broke it, gave thanks to God, and began to eat.

The people changed their mind about him then and thought he was a god.

The believers there had heard we were coming and came out to meet us. The sight of the cowboys riding and waving filled Paul with thanks to God.

"You've heard the truth now and what you do with it is your business. But God now offers eternity to the mavericks . . . and they listen and receive it gladly!"

From Paul, a hand for Christ, picked and commanded to spread the good news of God.

Long ago, God had promised the good news through the Good Book and the cowboys who wrote it.

But in truth, he was said and proved to be the Son of God. Nothing else needs said about it because he came back to life after being in the grave for three days.

Everything we've got and everything we ride for comes from God through Jesus Christ. He gives us the opportunity to cowboy for him and gather the herd from all the nations who've said they believe in Him. We do it, not for ourselves or to say look at me, but only to bring honor to his name.

This letter is to all in Rome who God loves and has called to ride for him.May your water be clean and your horse never stumble as you ride in grace and peace that comes from God.

First off, I want to thank God for all of ya. The things y'all are doing in faith is spreading like a brushfire in a stiff wind.

I serve God by spreading the good news of his son everywhere I ride. God knows y'all are

in my prayers every single day. I know God is going to make a way for me to finally ride out and see y'all.

I am not ashamed of the good news. I wear its brand upon my heart with pride. It's the power of God by which all those who ride for God are saved—first the Jews, and then the rest of them.

The good news shows us how God makes us all right with him. It's nothing but faith from nose to tail. It's nothing more than faith, but nothing less either. The Good Book says, "It's faith that makes us right with God, nothing else."
