Brotherhood wish

Oh, that the church could understand the concept of brotherhood to that same extent that it is understood by the veteran and the biker. 

The Veteran understands brotherhood because of the blood shed and spilt standing the line, armor on as Paul warned the Ephesians to do. To stand at the ready before the onslaught without fear of the battle, on the way. To stand during the fight as the Devil's arrows fly, without wavering, and to finally stand guard after the battle is won--standing guard over the wounded and weary, standing in the gap as they are nursed back to health ready for the next command. A veteran shares with his fellow brothers the scars of war those that are seen and those that cannot. the victories of battle and the loss of those that have fell.

If the Church could just know brotherhood as the biker does: The brotherhood of the endless mile, of the road less traveled, the narrow road. The road over the mountain top experiences of worship and through the valley of Vision, of loneliness, and despair; but always side by side through times good and bad, brothers carrying each other on as the One Road Captain guides. brothers that share the scars of the road and the love of a life many don't understand or comprehend.

Only when the Church remembers this true understanding of brotherhood will it return to the strength of Character and influence that it once was and should be.

Only when the Church understands brotherhood will the country be turned around and be back on track.
