Slipping Vs Sliding

This is the Truth Network. This is the Truth Network. Oh, the weather outside is frightful. Horse was lean and lanky. Misfortune seemed his lot.

He got into a drifted bank and wee wee. We got up, son. Jingle bell. Welcome to the Christian Car Guy Radio Show. this calls for action and now nip it in the bud.

Nip it and the bird can got to nip it in the bud slip sliding away Slip sliding away. And about teaching. Teach you, teach you, I'll teach you the electric light. I say it's cryptic, it's electric, but you know it's there and get aware slipping versus sliding today on the Christian Car Guys show is certainly we've got snow falling all over the country, ice coming, single-digit temperatures on the way for some down in the negatives. further up north.

So, you know, when it comes to slipping and sliding. Um There's this thing, it's called traction. Like you're getting it or you're not getting it. And in a car it can become catastrophic very quickly in certain circumstances. And so it's an interesting study.

We want to do that. But it's also the Jesus labor of love today. And with the Jesus Labor Love, it's car repair labor for single moms. Widows and families in crisis, and often we are dealing with their You know, we all slip. And we all slide.

And, you know, I had a lot of fun with these words, studying them. In a lot of different ways, because you may know that. You know, when we were growing up, a lot of us drove manual transmissions. You know, it was when we shifted the car with a clutch. And driving in the snow, you you've got all sorts of interesting things you can do with a manual transmission that you can start off in a higher gear.

What I what is really interesting is I can remember my grandparents teaching that that for whatever reason in their their Model A forwards, in reverse, you could get out of almost any snowbank for some reason, that that was just a particular gear that would really help you to keep from slipping. And then you know, if you slip then you might begin to slide and As the case may be, it could be a tragedy.

So. This idea of slipping versus sliding in Hebrew, and I just I love the Hebrew language and I love these Hebrew letters, and so I think there's really something huge to learn from what God. Painted for us because Hebrew is a picture language, and so every letter is a picture. And both the word slide and slip in Hebrew begin with a letter mem, and the letter mem. In Hebrew, it's the middle of the alphabet, but it is the normal thing you would think of in that picture is water.

Well Water seems to figure with slipping and sliding, right? Right, Scott? Amazing how often that comes into the equation, whether it's ice or snow. Yeah, water is usually a part of it. Yeah, it can definitely.

Moisture makes it. much easier to slip or slide. But there's another interesting thing about water. Is water is very much involved in both baptism and birth. True.

Yeah. And If you recall, there was some sliding and slipping along the way. I don't know if I've ever given that much thought, but I'm just saying that the water being the first letter in these two words is fascinating to me, and not just any accident in any way, shape, or form. But to slip That's where that's where the two words change com completely. They both start the same, but they end completely.

They are both three-letter words. And the second letter in the word slip. is an ion. And that letter I in, if you get this picture of Y in your mind. Right?

Or you can picture you have two eyes and you have an optic nerve that connects them both, and that is you've just described the letter ion because you have two things that you're seeing, but you are getting one vision. I don't see two Scotts sitting in front of me. I see one. Because vision has to do with like if the person you work for casts a great vision, everybody catches a vision and then you got it. You're all on the same page 'cause you have the same vision.

That is the letter I and it also has to do with being yoked. And if you think about a Y it looks like a yoke as well. Right. It's Not an accident.

Well, when we think of one of the most famous slips in all of biblical history, would be Peter beneath the waves.

Okay? Oh, yeah. All right, so he was walking on what? Mem water. Yeah.

Pretty slick. And it was nice at this point. He was walking on the water. And what? What happened?

He took his eyes of Jesus. Isn't that fascinating? Yeah. He looked down. He did.

He he started to consider the waves and the wind, and he lost the vision. He didn't have Jesus clearly in His eyes. And as a result You know, and there are so many psalms, etc., that talk about being close to the Lord keeps you from slipping. Right. And this has to do with keeping that vision.

But the beautiful thing about both slipping and the word slip in Hebrew. is the last letter. The outcome on both words, by the way, is phenomenal. The last letter in the word Slip. Is a Hebrew letter Dalit.

And the letter Dalit has to do with humility. But it also is a door. Because humility is the door to godliness. In other words, as Peter is slipping between the wave and the water, you know, as he's slipping down, what happens? He gets The most amazing baptism in all the history of the world, right?

He gets Jesus' hand coming down, and he was raised to walk. Literally in newness of life with Jesus across the water, right? Because, you know, yes, he walked on water alone for a moment, but then he got the neatest part was he got to walk back to the boat with Jesus. He walked on the water. with Jesus because he was humbled.

And slipping usually I don't know, but it usually it re you know, I it it's in a lot of comedy routines because it has to do with humbling us. But in in the in the act of humility is this door. And in this door is this hand. that is reaching out for you. It's from heaven, right?

To grab hold of.

so that you don't slip slide around. And so what an opportunity. We have to dig into that word for a minute. And I'm just wondering, in your snowy journeys, either in a car or some other way, can you remember a time in your life when you slipped? And when you slipped, Once you Started to look up, and you realize that you had been humbled in the way that you did.

You saw that hand and you grabbed it, and it raised you to walk with him. in a new way. I mean, it's kind of a neat little... idea of baptism that Peter got right there. When might that have happened to you?

866-348-7884-866-348. Seven eight eight four. We got Kelly. Call him in with the Jesus labor love as we have Jesus Labor Love Saturday going on today, Scott.

So, Kelly, you're on the Christian Car Guy Show. Good morning. Good morning, Kelly. Good morning. Morning, how are y'all?

We are wonderful.

So excited that you are calling this morning.

Well, I've called to give my thanks and how much I really needed the help. And how few of your kind of help is out there. Wish there was more. My clutch was gone on my car. I've been homeless for a few years trying to go through the legal troubles.

in order to uh obtain my house back. through the the level. and not right problems I've been through. The clutch went out in my car and I've just been down and out and was calling around to try to I had the parts and everything for the car. And some places won't even put parts in that the customers buy.

And um you know, I I just needed the labor done. And that that's exactly how much I was lacking I'm I'm was lacking one hundred and sixty two dollars of finishing off. the total cost to get my clutch replaced. And mister Scott said he would come through and help me Get the last bit of the money that I needed to replace the clutch. And I'm really thankful.

Oh, you know, and we're thankful to you, Kelly. And by the way, You know, clutches slip. Oh, yeah. Just thought I'd point that out since we're talking about slipping and sliding today on a Christian Carguy show. But in that slipping, interestingly, You know, one of the things that amazes me is the great humility it takes to ask for help.

Right. And we don't have because we don't ask. And you know, Kelly had the courage. Right. to fill out the form.

And by the way, and Scott will tell you this. A lot of folks have the courage to fill out the form. Not so many. Follow through with that. Kelly, if you could hold on after the break, we'd like to pray for you.

We will be right back. Thank you, Kelly, and we would love your calls. When did you reach out? When Jesus reached up, Or when did you reach up when we just Jesus reached down? We'll be right back.

866-34-TRUT. You're listening to the Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com. Slip slide and away And I'll teach you, teach you, teach you, I'll teach you the electric light I say, it's electric, but you know it's there. Slip. Sliding and all those kinds of things today on the Christian Car Guy Show.

As again, we're looking at snow and ice and all those things. Oh boy. You know, we we're hoping that you're prepared for whatever is going on with your home and and certainly in your car. If if you have to be out and about, it's it's a good time to know about these slip sliding things and uh how to drive in the Difficult situations, but it's also Jesus' labor love Saturday, and often In all our lives, things happen and we slip. And when we do, what do we reach out for help?

Are we humble enough to ask? Um, you know. And and we were just talking about that with Kelly, who had called in and described how she needed some work on her clutch, which, you know, I kind of just immediately respect that, Kelly, 'cause I like people that drive manual transmissions, you know. Yeah. Are you still watching?

I am. They say they're not making them anymore, and I understand.

Well there's very few of them on the road because not many people know how to drive them. Uh Yeah, that's it. Go ahead. What what I will say, you know, out of my experience and, you know, of the being thankful. The being thankful for The ones that come through to help the ones that need help.

There are so many people in this world that just want help. Of course, we all want help. But the things that the once the people that want aren't necessarily the people that need. And I guess I want to say, and I know judge to judge whether you needed it, whether you wanted it. or whatever, but in the middle of you getting the help, the disrespect and rudeness that some people have is totally unbelievable.

Yeah. Yeah, you're right. It is. It is. And I.

I can tell you it happens on both sides of that equation that unfortunately We Could all use, and I know I could, a whole lot more humility, a lot more walking a mile in the other person's shoes, whatever those shoes may be, that we don't, you know, we just don't know. But how can we are you still um trying to get a an a home, Kelly? I am still trying to fight for my home that was legally signed away from me. I am. I have sitting down and I'm no attorney or and have no legal background sat down and have wrote my own motion.

when I was in court for my disability hearing, I explained to my attorney and the judge How my house was signed away. And the judge stated in my disability hearing That I explain I told him, I said, Your Honor, when my house was signed away, I owed nothing on my house and I was the sole owner on my house. Mm. Um So he stated to me in court. That if there was no mortgage, no nothing on the house and I was a sole owner, that I may obtain my house back.

So of course, I haven't had I haven't been successful because apparently no attorney wanted to help me to accomplish Hey, this is what the judge said in this court hearing. Can you help me? Go through that.

So, I'm having to, I'm going to use the word finangle around the court system to figure out how to. do those steps on my own. There is just so much dirtiness done in this world. For example, I'm the one that slipped and fell at Pepsi-Cola. Pepsi bottling ventures.

And I know you probably don't want to hear this on your show. But in August of 2020, I had a slip and fall. No fault of my own. But do you know that I did not get a lawsuit? And do you know the company fired me?

And to this day, I still have not got a lawsuit The only thing that Pepsi Cola said that they were paying for was a right broke wrist. I broke both of my wrists. I cracked. Or fractured my first three ribs. I had a head injury and I hurt my back.

That's why I'm disabled. Then, and I understand, but this is the only way I can let somebody know my true and actual story. It sounds like it's a lot of made-up story. stuff, but I asked, please check me, please tell me where I'm wrong. Then I go to work for another company I I admit, I get injured on the job.

All right, my fault. We know injuries come. I'm with it.

So I go get I go get stitched up because I cut my arm. I go back to work as soon as they stitch me up. And they come and they say they're giving me a tetanus shot. All right, cool, I understand. But guess what?

It wasn't a tetanus shot that I received. And it seems like it's all made up, but God help me, it's not. She gives me a shot of liquid penicillin. And still again, no lawsuit. You know, if it was anybody else out there, and I've been crying for God, God, please help me.

And it just makes me, I don't know. It seems like the ones that you can't see where God is anywhere in them, that they get all the padding and all the help. And what more can we give you? And the ones that's being true and honest they don't get anything except more crap jumped on their head.

Well, we know who to go to with that. And and with that, let us pray with you, Kelly. I am so sorry, because that sure it sounds like an unbelievable set of uh of horrible circumstances um Jesus, thank you for Kelly, and I thank you for Her reaching out and asking for help and the courage that took. I thank you for. They are the Generosity of the people that provided the funds that we would be able to meet this need for Kelly, for the mechanics that help us along the way, and for the other people that pray and support the ministry that we could help people like Kelly.

In Kelly's situation, Lord, I pray that you would. Help some social worker or somebody come alongside her that can point her in the direction. Of where help could come. Because we know your help is coming for her. We just don't know when and why.

And often these things are hidden from us as we know that you're reaching down. The true lover. um that you cherish her beyond anything we can imagine. And so, Lord, we pray that you would reveal that to her. She could begin to see the actual plan that you have in the midst of all these circumstances.

I I I pray that you would Um return the joy to her heart of of walking with you in understanding what's going on. Um It's it saddens me to hear all this and And I pray that you would come through as you always do. And we thank you. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

Thank you, Kelly, so much. Thank you. God bless. We have Wendy, we have Christian, we have Joanne. We got lots more, but we need you.

When did you slip or slide? Or what might you help us with? 866-348-7884-866-34 Truth. We'll be right back. Yeah.

You're listening to the Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com. Slip slide and away And bow, see two, three. We want to teach you the electric slide today as we are talking about slipping and sliding in the snow as we got so much weather coming our way. And so I spent some time on slipping early on in the show.

Now we're going to talk about sliding for a minute before we get to our many other callers, which are so grateful for all the people calling in. But I would be remiss if I didn't take the other side of the angle as. You know, there was slip which we talked about began with a mem, and that's water, and it's also the wound of t t t that you're born in water.

Well, slide starts exactly the same way. The difference is Interestingly, its second letter is the letter Vav, which is just a straight line if you were to look at it, but that line is like a hook. And that hook not only hooks um the whole word to heaven, so to speak. especially the two letters it stands beside, it hooks them together. And in this case, it's kind of like if you're sliding, you need that hook.

You need that hand of Jesus coming down, right? And so there's this hook. Yeah. And the last letter in the word slide. is a tav.

Uh excuse me. It's a tent. Both words start with a T, the T-E-T. And that word is the word, that letter means goodness. Like, and God saw all that He made, and He said that it was good.

And that. That word Is actually Tov, the goodness, but the letter itself that that represents is a tet. And the idea of that, it's actually the ninth letter in the Hebrew alphabet, and it is a picture actually of a womb, but it's a hidden goodness. In other words, there's goodness there, you just can't see it. And I can assure you.

God is always behind the picture. He's always good all the time. God is good. There you go. This is that letter in action.

And so quite often actually if you think about it as we're sliding. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. You know, and you can see it in all sorts of passages that God's allowing that slide because He wants. you to see something that you're not aware of, right? And it's interesting.

In Deuteronomy 32, 35, it says, To me belongs vengeance and recompense. Their foot shall slide in due time. For the day of their calamity is at hand, and all things shall come. unto them to to make haste. Why is he doing that?

It's just like The the In the Thirteenth Psalm, it it says The struggles of those that run from God will be multiplied. Why? Because he's trying to get your attention. And then that slide is actually an opportunity to. Figure out where you lost traction, where you didn't have the authority you needed in your life, et cetera.

And so it's a hand coming down whether you see it or not. It's an opportunity. We got Wendy's been hanging on forever for us. Wendy, you're on. The Christian Carguy Show.

Good morning. Good morning, Robbie. Good morning, Scott. How are you guys today? We are excited to hear you as always.

We were hopefully not going to be slipping and sliding for a few hours, but then we're going to be home safe and warm, we hope. I hope so too. It's ironic you're talking about slipping and sliding because. the car that I used to have that you guys were so kind to replace. was and not good in the snow.

And You guys gave me a Volvo. And it's an SUV, XC90, and I can't help but marvel at God's provision. right now as the snow is coming and I feel very Driving that Volvo when it's needed.

So you were talking about. you know, God getting our attention. And I just wanted to say that when we do obey, when we do turn to him, He redeems even our message. Thanks. Even our um the situations he allows To be brought into our life to get our attention, he then redeems those things.

And you guys have been part of that in my life, and I'm.

So, so grateful. Mm-hmm. Also, I got to talk to Gaither last time, and that was amazing. The gentleman who Donated the car to you guys, if your listeners didn't hear, actually called. while I had called in and that was such a neat exper See here.

the stories behind what had happened with with the vehicle before I received it and just his heart for Jesus in his willingness, him and his wife to donate. The car that I'm now driving, that was such a blessing to me.

So, thank you for that as well. That's so beautiful. And then there's other. angle of it. Wendy, that I didn't realize really if if I hadn't come down with cancer when I did That to some extent As we're given this opportunity to suffer.

Um and things that we didn't necessarily have any control over. A lot of people are watching. Brian? And and Those who have watched you Like rights cotton? It's an opportunity to see God in the midst of.

of sla of calamity, however that works. But man, your faith, your joy, your sweetness is always there, Wendy. And we are so grateful for it because it's an example for all of us. Yeah. Thank you.

The Lord has been good to me. I couldn't be anything else, you know?

So how can we pray for you pre before the storm? Oh gosh. Um honesty praises like even in in the upcoming storm, you is my little tiny Apartment has a wood-burning fireplace. Oh, yeah. And I have wood, you know, and this, this.

a all the ways God provides, like I I just wanna Praise him today. I was actually praying with you in spirit for the For Kelly, who called just before me, and um And I wondered. I know this is unorthodox, but could I pray for you guys? Would that be okay? We would love it.

That'd be wonderful. Let's do it. That we don't lose power. Go ahead, Winnie.

Okay, okay. Dear Lord, I just thank you for Robbie and for Scott and for everybody who. Work the Christian Cargine Ministry. God, um. it must be tempting for their hearts to get discouraged and yet You are faithful, God, and you provide the vehicles that they Give and you provide money for the help that they give, but they are faithful stewards with it.

Lord, I've seen it. I've seen it over and over again: how faithful they are. with the little bit that that they're given a day just hold it gently and let you multiply it, Lord. And Father, I just thank you for that. It's such a blessing, Lord.

I pray that you had blessed our ministry. I pray that you would bless those who are seeking you and those who are Lord, lift the veil from their eyes so that they can. Turn to you, Laurie. I just thank you, God, that That you've allowed Robbie and Scott to continue in this ministry, and I pray that you would bless it fully. God is I've seen your blessing.

In Jesus' name, I pray. Oh, thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord. And we want to pray. Lord, we want to just praise with Wendy, that you have provision for so many that are listening right now.

They have wood or they have some way of keeping warm. They have food. They have water. But Lord, for those that aren't, find a way for somebody to put it on somebody's heart to call and check on somebody that they know might be in a bad way, that may need some help. We, again, we praise you that you're meeting these needs all over the place.

And we know that you're there and that you are reaching down with your hand in all these situations. We give you praise for that. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen. Amen.

Thank you, Wendy. Thanks. So much, God. God bless you. As always, what a joy!

Thanks for helping everybody in your community and your church, too. Yeah, God bless. We got. Let's see, Christian. is in Charlotte.

Good morning. You're on the Christian Car Guy Show Ch Christian? Good morning, guys. Good morning, everyone. How are you guys doing?

We're excited that we get to talk to you this morning. Oh, thank you. First off, it was a honor that I slipped. with humility. I fell into grace.

And I was picked up by the mercy of God. And because of Jesus' love, labor of love, I'm still able to carry on my calling to serve others. Um As you know, I haven't been on here for a while. Um my Seven children and I. I had job insecurity, which led to homelessness.

Okay. Journals? No, no, no, no, mm. through through the humility in that slip and fall. God has grace.

Pick this up. I was able to Get a new occupation, which is going well, and I still get to serve. And I'm using Bless, and as everyone knows, I was donated an amazing Chevy Equinox. And shout out to my donors. I am so grateful she's still kicking.

She's getting me around. I told you guys that when I get that car, I was going to go out and serve others. I still do. I work with people with disabilities. I serve in the community.

And I do a lot of things to give back because. Just God's mercy and grace has been So good to me that I can't do nothing else but offer everybody inspiration to believe. You have to believe, you have to have faith. You have to know that everything does not happen when we want it to. Christian, I hate to jump in, but I hear the break coming.

And so stay with us because we don't want to finish up without getting a chance to. Hear the end of what you want to say, praying with you.

So we'll be back. We got Joanne in Jonesville, North Carolina, as well. And so we got a lot more slipping and sliding to. Stay tuned. You're listening to the Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com.

Slip slide and away And now teach you, teach you. It's electric, it is, it is. As we are slip-sliding, Scott and I have been talking during the break about slipping and sliding. And it's a fascinating thing and as we think about this. And Scott and I had a similar epiphany right at the same time.

Have you ever noticed how road rage amps up when the weather gets bad? I believe it. We all start screaming at the car ahead of us: don't stop, don't slow down. You're going to, you know, all these things happen. Guilty.

Yeah. Yeah, and But the deal is, is once we go into survival mode, we're not thinking about anybody else. We're thinking about ourselves. And so what an opportunity to think about before you slip reaching for that hand and thinking, okay, wait a minute, this isn't about me. This whole situation isn't about me.

My kids are in the car with me. They're hearing all the shenanigans, right? Or my grandkids, or whatever the situation might be. Don't be slipping out there as things get a little bit tight.

So we're getting back to Christian. Christian, I understand you have lots of children. Thanks for holding. Yes. I was blessed with seven.

And as we're speaking, a random verse from the Bible popped up, and it's Psalm 103. Count your blessings daily. That's beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

Well, how can we pray for you as the storm approaches, Christian? Yes. Well, I was able to overcome homelessness due to the grace and glory of God. I do ask, request prayers. I would love to pray for everyone else, though.

First, before I pray for anything that I might need, I want to ask for prayers for everyone. Everybody has a need and things that they need also to be prayed for.

So I'm praying over everyone, especially the people that may not have the resources to stay warm. There's warming shelters and things that they just look online or go to the nearest shelters to their warming stations around food and things of that nature. I'm praying that they get the proper resources that they need during this time. I'm praying that everybody stays safe. Yeah, well, let's pray for that.

I love, love, love the ironic blessing. It just starts out with such a simple thing, and I'll pray it, and I'll kind of talk about it as I'm praying.

So may the Lord bless us. And I'm talking about all the people that are in the wake of this storm. Or in the path of the storm, right? Because if the Lord keeps us. We're good.

We're good. And may he make his face shine upon us like. Oh, the warmth of that. And oh, to be in your presence, Lord, is a fullness of joy. Right?

May he be. Gracious to us. Like, oh, goodness, how wonderful would that be that he would be gracious to us in this time where we may need heat, we may need electricity, we may need to get up with somebody that's really difficult. Or somebody like I know Richard right now is in the emergency room. Lord, I pray that you would meet those needs.

May you lift your face upon us. Right? May you turn your face towards us. And be gracious to us, Lord. I thank you again so much for Christian.

I thank you for those wonderful children and the way you're meeting that need. And we pray that you just continue to show up as you do for all of us. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen. Amen.

Amen. Thank you so much, Christian. Thank you. God bless. Bye-bye.

Thank you, likewise. Thank you. So we got Joanne is in Jonesville, North Carolina.

So, Joanne, you're on the Christian Cargy Show. Good morning. Good morning, Joanne. Good morning. Good morning.

Thanks for patiently waiting. Yes, really. Yeah. Sorry, I'm sitting here like, uh-oh, never done nothing like this before.

So it's courageous. I got to tell you, I'll never forget the first time I called into a radio show. Many, many, many. I could always relate to callers because I was terrified. I couldn't get a single word out.

I had everything in my mind that I wanted to say, right, until they said all of a sudden, like, man, oh, oh, here you go. But so tell us, how did you get in contact with Scott? How did we. That's the thing, you know, I don't remember how I got in contact with him, but I just I can't remember. I just needed some help with my car and you know, I was you know, I was having issues with the front end and tires and all this.

It was just all gone. And I'm still like kind of new to North Carolina, only five years.

So you know, I really, really had in pine um, you know, a mechanic that I felt like, you know, I have a good rapport, trust in and stuff with, you know, so uh This kind of It was kind of hard and then My friends from Florida that I met in Florida now moving to Georgia. They've been, uh they're Christian friends and uh She's been my friend, but she just told me sixteen years we've been We try to read Bible together on the phone together, and we've done Bible studies together, and they're always bringing me to their house to Georgia, so they're always. you know, toting me around and you know, blessing me and showering me with her love and all that.

So this time. They're like, well, maybe you could come here. you know, bring your car because I never drove very far, and an hour is the most extent to my driving. And um You know, as a spawn. it happened to be that a lot of tr issues came up with the car and So, um You know, I didn't know how I was going to get this done.

And then I had found Janima, reached out to you guys, and you know, you said they could help me some and So you did, and then it gave me a chance to you know, drive to Georgia And visit my friends for a while. We got to go, I got to go, you know. Join her family, her Christian family, and you know, and get to know them better and the children, and hang out with them all. Have a good time, and then we went to Billy Graham's The Cove. Oh, wow.

I've always been watching. Yeah, we listened to her. Yeah. It was really nice and so, um, on the way home I drove by myself because on the way there she kind of sat with me. It was like a convent of Conburg or something, her husband, I followed him and she sat in the car with me.

In my car actually stinked 'cause I was smoking cigarette. I didn't smoke while she was in the car, but I'm I was a cigarette smoker.

So she really she's really put up a lot with me through all these years. I mean, she's had a real playful good friend. That's wonderful. know the the trips the trip was successful but then um you know What got me back in touch with you guys was um You know what I'm saying? Does the months You know, I I'm and I it's been a while since I got the help, but you know, I'd been thinking, you know, I'd really like to get back to the ministry.
