I’m sure by now you all know that a pioneer in freestyle motocross, Jeremy Lusk, passed away earlier this month. If anything good came from this accident at all, it is that we learned the extent of the Metal Mulisha’s faith in god, and to me it was a beautiful thing to see. Fuel TV did an amazing job of putting this tribute together, the best part being the interviews with the rest of the Mulisha. The Metal Mulisha seem to be the opposite of christian, but in reality they have complete faith in god, and this video really shows it.
Some random thoughts that come to mind after watching the funeral service for Jeremy.
1. In life he touched so many in death Jesus saved so many
2. I wonder if the metal mulisha will be the same. Brian saying he’s wasted so much of his life. My gut tells me your going to see some changes in the mulisha.
3. Faisst quoting Prov 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
4. Loren his wife, accepted Christ even in the mist of being angry at God.
5. At least 100 people including most of his family and closest “mulisha” buddies stood up to say the sinners prayer.
6. What as Christians are we doing to further the kingdom? Will people know you’re a Christian?
2 Corinthians 5
1 For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands. 2 We grow weary in our present bodies, and we long to put on our heavenly bodies like new clothing. 3 For we will put on heavenly bodies; we will not be spirits without bodies. 4 While we live in these earthly bodies, we groan and sigh, but it’s not that we want to die and get rid of these bodies that clothe us. Rather, we want to put on our new bodies so that these dying bodies will be swallowed up by life. 5 God himself has prepared us for this, and as a guarantee he has given us his Holy Spirit. 6 So we are always confident, even though we know that as long as we live in these bodies we are not at home with the Lord. 7 For we live by believing and not by seeing. 8 Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord.
Very COOL!! BAPTISM
This is a cool verse and kind of comforting in times like this…
2 Corinthians 5:6-8
6 So we are always confident, even though we know that as long as we live in these bodies we are not at home with the Lord. 7 For we live by believing and not by seeing. 8 Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord
It is with great sadness that we report Jeremy Lusk succumbed to his injures tonight at 11:03pm PST. He was surrounded by his loving Mother and father, Chuck & Gina Lusk, his wonderful wife Lauren, his mother and father in law Lyne & Larry along with his closest Mulisha friends Brian Deegan, Ryan Hagy, Cameron Steele & Erik Apple.
Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
