When I was a youth (aka ‘kid’) … yes, I was not born this age – there was
a common saying amongst us kids when one of the gang “lost-their-cool” . . . it
came from the centre of our youthful mobility means; bicycle riding.
A simple adage was aimed at the kid “mouthing-off”. . .
Today I’ve been doing some research-reading in the Petrine writings
(cool academicese for the apostle Peter wrote this stuff) – anyway I read this;
“When Peter in his second epistle speaks positively: ‘But
grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,’ Remember
both he (in 1:3-11) and Jude (1:20) have already stressed the necessity for
progress in Christian living.”
Then the commentator added . . .
"The Christian life ... is like riding a bicycle. Unless you keep
moving, you fall off!"
