This is Andy Thomas from the Masculine Journey Podcast where we discover what it means to be a wholehearted man. Your chosen Truth Network Podcast is starting in just seconds. Enjoy it, share it, but most of all, thank you for listening and for choosing the Truth Podcast Network. Welcome to the Christian Car Guy Radio Show.

I tell you what, it is a beautiful day in North Carolina and I hope you're enjoying a beautiful day also. And we're going to be riding down the road with the Christian Car Guy, tuned into the radio. This morning, you'll notice that I'm here instead of Robbie, well, sometimes I'm here with Robbie. But Robbie is on vacation this week, so I'm Jerry Mathis, the Christian Body Shop Guy from Ray's Body Shop and Wrecker Service here in Winston-Salem. And I'm sort of sitting in his seat and we're going to have a great show.

Got Sean on the other side of the glass will be the producer, so all the hard stuff he has to do on the easy stuff, I just get to talk, which I can always talk. This morning, we're going to kind of, you know, today's show, last week when I was listening to Robbie and Bob Young, and one of the topics that came up was just gasoline. And they had a sound and it was the death knock, where it was the rods were knocking. But a lot of people was just guessing the little pinging noise and the knock that you hear from an engine, which is usually caused by just the gasoline you're burning.

And then it can lead to other things. So when I was listening to that, I kind of thought, you know what, that'd be kind of a neat subject to sort of dive into this Saturday morning. And as I was doing that, how do you connect the Christian car guy aspect of it, the car piece of it, the importance of gasoline to make your engine run to our Christian walk? You know, our bodies need fuel also. And the question is, what does our souls eat? What does our souls need to be able to keep us running and keep us going? So that's gonna be the question. You tell me what, what, what does your soul need to keep running and keep going? Also, when we sit there and you look at that, and you talk about cars, you know, there's always those times when you are burning the wrong gas, or you have gas that had water in it, or even the most horrifying thing you can do, and it happens quite a bit, and especially me being in the towing business, I see it a lot where vehicles or somebody's buying a car or a truck especially, and is not familiar with what kind of fuel that vehicle burns, and they pour right into the gas pump and they put gasoline in it and crank it up and go about a, usually can go about a quarter of a mile, and then all of a sudden, it won't run anymore, and then you come to find out you put gasoline in a diesel engine.

That's never a good thing. So if you've ever had that happen, just give us a call and stuff. Also this morning, with Robbie not being here and being on vacation, I just want to mention one thing, Robbie with his podcast, he's starting a brand new series, and he's going to dig into the depths of Psalms 119, so I encourage you to turn to his podcast, even though he's on vacation this week, he's going to be doing a podcast daily, so if you need your Robbie Dilmore Christian car guy fix, make sure you turn into his podcast, it'll be well worth your time. Treasures of the 119th Psalm.

So we are going on a treasure hunt, and the gold we are seeking in this treasure hunt is actually the face of God, pure light, and how fun to actually mine this treasure with King David, a man who sought God with his whole heart, and his understanding of God's expression of the Hebrew language itself as he goes through the 119th Psalm, letter by letter, giving us eight verses, which the Jews teach is eight faces of each letter of expression. So join us, taking this deep dive mining with King David in the 119th Psalm. There you go, this is a great opportunity, make sure you turn into his podcast, also since talking about just turning into a podcast, or being able to hear Robbie when he's not in the studio, and let me tell you right now, just personal note, nobody loves and is used by God any more in the radio business than Robbie Dilmore and stuff, and I tell you what, when you listen to him on the air, you hear the depths of his compassion and depths of his desire to bring people to Jesus Christ. So I really look forward to this podcast, but also if you get an opportunity, back during the summer, at Pinedale Christian Church, they did a Conversations with Matthew Sink on Wednesday nights, and you can go to pinedale.church and pull up those conversations, and the reason I even mention that is, one of those nights the conversation is with Robbie Dilmore, and I'm gonna tell you what, it really goes into a lot of background, a lot of his history, a lot of his walk with Jesus Christ and how he's been able to bring him through some difficult times, but always in a way that brings him closer to Jesus Christ, but also brings others to Jesus Christ. So if you get that opportunity, and also, I think there was like six guests that sat down with Matthew Sink for an hour and just had open conversation.

One of them was Nikita Koloff, and also at 12.30 you can hear his man up show, radio show here on the Truth Network, and probably in a lot of the channels that are listening to this now probably may get that, but it's Nikita Koloff, his conversations with Matthew Sink, and also Mark Garrow with PRN Racing, and there's quite a few, and I think it'd be well with your time, but really being able to listen to Robbie Dilmore during that podcast, or that rebroadcast of that event on a Wednesday night, again, just turn to Pinedale, or go on website of pinedale.church and just scroll down and you'll see Conversations, just click on it, and then it'll have a roster, and you can flip down there and see Robbie Dilmore, be well worth it. Also this morning, as I threw out the question of what does our bodies need, what do we need, what does our souls eat to survive, and also then we're talking about gasoline in the automobile, if you have any of those stories, this is, or any kind of question with automotive repair, especially collision repair, or the towing end of the industry, just give us a call. This is a call-in show, the number is 866-348-7884, again this is a call-in show, love to have you call in, tell us your story, or ask us a question, 866-348-7884, well when I asked the question and I said, and listening to the broadcast last week, there was a lot of talk about NOC and then all of a sudden some of the conversation drifted to gasoline, and I thought, you know what, that is a really pretty interesting subject when we start thinking about this country, how much gasoline drives this country, and some of the things we're familiar with, some of the things kind of surprise us when we start diving into the gasoline situation, and one, you know, we're a country that's sort of in a way moving or trying to move more to electric vehicles and that type of thing, and you know, I don't know when and how that would ever really, you know, I know that technology is growing rapidly, but there's so many other issues that really aren't even thought about, you know, you also have to have the supply chain down the road and also the ability to repair those vehicles and trying to get the cost down, right now they're extremely expensive and the technology to repair them is expensive, so that's going to affect things somewhat, but also a piece that people don't really realize, every state or most states lean heavily on gas tax, you know, how do you repair, in North Carolina, how are the roads getting repaired, bridges being repaired, signage on the roads, all of that kind of stuff is fueled by the fuel that you're putting in your vehicle, those, you know, every state or most states have a tax on gasoline, and that money directly goes to their DOT, Department of Transportation, and which pays to do road improvements, pave roads, build new roads, so all of a sudden, you know, as we move more into electric cars, I think that's going to be an issue moving forward, because how do you maintain that if people aren't paying gas taxes and there's just as many cars probably going to be on the road, how do you maintain them and how do you pay for that, so that's an issue, a hurdle, I think they're going to have to get over, so as we sit there and you think about that, when we come back from the break, I want to just sort of break down some of the gas stuff and why we start hearing, you know, more and more importance of octane levels and making sure you use the right octane in your vehicle to make it perform the best it can and what that can affect.

The same thing, the question is, that I'm throwing out there is, what do we need as humans to fuel our souls? That's a pretty big question, so we'll see you back on the other side of the break, going to be a great morning, going to sit there and learn a little bit about Jesus, learn a little bit about our gasoline, but again, it's the calling show, 866-348-7884. You're listening to the Truth Network and truthnetwork.com. Again welcome back to the Christian Car Guy radio show, I'm Jerry Mathis from Ray's Body Shop and Wrecker Service. Again this is a calling show, 866-348-7884, and again we're kind of diving into the gasoline issue with our vehicles and how our vehicles need the gasoline to be able to power them and to... Also looking at what does our soul, what do we need as humans that give us power and give us strength that sort of fuels us, and we sit there and we look at that and it can, you know, we can, as humans, there is one thing that we need to fuel us, and then you start seeing where people try to replace what we need with other things and that's when you start seeing addictions and alcoholism and drugs and stuff because they're trying to place something there to fill that void, to fuel us, that the only really thing that's going to do it is Jesus Christ and the Word of God. Also this morning, that's just one of the truths we live by, but also this morning on WTRU, on the Truth Network, there's a lot of truth going to be coming at you. One of the things is Amy Cabo and her show, The Cure, which comes on at 1 a.m. this afternoon, encourage you to tune in. It's always a great show and you'll be able to hear, I don't know who her guest will be, but I'm sure it'll be entertaining, a lot of truth coming at you during that time. As I mentioned again, also don't forget to look back and get up with Robbie on his podcast as he dives into Psalms 119 and talks about diving in and mining for the truths that are found there.

If you're missing Robbie this morning, don't worry, he's on vacation, he's never too far away. We'll go back to the gasoline issues. From the towing industry, I'm able to see some of the horror stories that happen when people use the wrong gasolines, use the wrong blends and stuff because a lot of times it causes your vehicle to be broke down on the side of the road and stuff.

We sit there and we start thinking about one of the things we all know and you hear about through, especially when gas is spiking up in cost or going down and you always will hear the price of crude oil by the barrel. A lot of times people think that crude oil is a barrel and comes over here and you just dump it right in and it goes through the flow and next thing you know you're putting that in your vehicle, which is far from the truth. A barrel of crude oil is, you know, well what's a barrel? It's 160 liters or in U.S., it's like 42 U.S. gallons. After it is refined and goes through the refinery and goes through the whole process, what you get out, what's able to be burned in the vehicle is like 72 liters or 19 U.S. gallons of gasoline after it goes through the whole process. So you start there and you see there's a lot of work that must be done to it.

You're taking out some things and you're also putting in some things. And when we sit there and you see the gasoline when you pull up to the pump, as I mentioned one thing to make sure you are always aware of, especially if you're borrowing a vehicle or a vehicle you're not really used to driving, is make sure you put the right octane in it or even the worst extent, make sure you're putting the right thing in it, not putting diesel or putting gas in a diesel vehicle. Because like I said, in the towing industry, we see that quite a bit where somebody unfamiliar with the vehicle puts the wrong thing, either diesel in a gas engine or gas in a diesel engine in which what happens, it'll leave you broke down and can do a lot of damage to a vehicle and cost you a lot of money.

So just being aware of that. We sit there and you pull up and the first thing you see, you know, you got all these grades or octane ratings, you get the 87, 89, 93, and you kind of wonder, you know, which one of these do I need to put in? And a lot of people will make that decision on price, which is not always a good thing also, because if the manufacturer calls for a higher octane, I encourage you to make sure you put that in because you think, well, I'm going to, you know, it's sometimes 60 cent cheaper for 87 grade octane compared to a 93. And you think, well, you know what, it's cheap, I'm gonna get more gas. But really, when you start looking at the mileage per gallon, you probably pay more for that cheaper gas per mile than you would if you got the proper octane. And then you go, not only the cost part of it, it's just the damage that it does to the engine and what the higher octanes do, really what the only thing that they're putting those additives in, what they do, they cause or retard the spark. So the vehicle isn't firing, the piston isn't firing before it comes all the way to the top, and which is sort of slows it down.

So it's always in the right sink. And when you start firing too early, that's where you start hearing that ping or that little knock in the engine when you give it gas and stuff, because it's sort of is not firing properly. So the engine isn't running efficiently. So you get lower gas mileage, less miles to the gallon, and you're doing damage to the engine. So it's just little common sense things.

And then also we had the issue over time when you had all of a sudden world changed a little bit from 70s to about 96, where they started taking the lead out of gas. And we're going to talk about that in just a moment. We've got Earl from Anderson, South Carolina on the phone, and we'll see what Earl, if Earl has a question or a comment. Earl, do you hear us?

Hello? Okay, I don't know if we got Earl, so I'll just wait and I'll let Sean sort of sort through it. I'll stay away from the button and over here.

All right. But then we started having a issue with gasoline in the lead and all of a sudden Congress passed in 1970, the Congress passed the Clean Air Act, which, you know, lead in the air does add to the pollutions and stuff. So when they passed that act, all of a sudden we knew that lead was going to have to come out.

But it slowly came out. The EPA mandated that it had to be phased out in 1973. In 74, they required that every supplier would supply at least one unleaded gasoline in their line because of vehicles needing that and the manufacturers were transitioning into unleaded vehicle engines. And then by 1996, the EPA banned all lead in gasoline for on road vehicles.

So airplanes and that type of stuff still use leaded gas, but not the ones being driven on the road. We'll be back in a moment. Once again, you're listening to Christian Car Guy Radio. I'm Jerry Mathis with Ray's Body Shop and Wrecker Service.

Hope to hear from you. Welcome back to Christian Car Guy Radio. I'm Jerry Mathis, Ray's Body Shop and Wrecker Service, the Christian Car Guy. I tell you what, this morning we talked about gas and now the other question was, what does our bodies need? What do we need to fuel us?

I'll give you a little clue. In Matthew 4 says, it is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but every word that comes from the mouth of God. And also in Philippians 4.13, I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

So the question is, what do we need to fuel our bodies, to fuel our souls? I'm going to come up with some discussion on that in just a moment, but we have, try Earl again in Anderson, South Carolina. I tell you Earl, sorry, I kept dropping you and I think it may have been on my end, but we got you now, I hope.

Earl. Yes, good morning. Oh, great. I'm glad to hear your voice. Yes, I just came from, we had a, we're talking about this thing about, we're talking about food.

We just had a pancake breakfast. I came from, we were, you know, uh, feeding the folks and witnessing to them and, uh, helping some of the folks in our, uh, community. Um, and I happened to, it's the first time I've ever listened to this station and show I'm new to this area. So it's glad to hear what you're doing and appreciate.

Great to have you this morning. My question wasn't what I called and I guess, I don't know if it was a different thing, but it was asking about the car sound. Is that last week they said? Yeah, that was last week. Yeah. Okay. Well that was weird because that's what I was listening to on the radio here. So I was confused. I have a question. Was that the PCV valve or what was, if I may ask?

What it was a death knock, if I'm not wrong, what the internal engine was knocking. Yeah, that was last week and what you may be a lot of, a lot of the stations will pick up and air like back to back programming or the program may not be live at the time, but if you heard that it must've been part of the last week, but now you're live because if you're talking to me, you're, you're, you're full of pancakes and then hopefully being able to hear, uh, hear, hear Jesus talked about, and, uh, so, so what kind of organization was that you're with? And you know, cause I'll just, you know, further listeners in that area and stuff. So I'm sure it's in Anderson, South Carolina, uh, was, um, it's been, I don't know, they started, I've done it. We've moved up here four years ago from Florida and we had booked and it was where God led us. I'm hoping we're working on developing, I don't know if you're familiar with faith community nursing. And I went through, I say I went through, I sat through a three or four day program on it and we're getting that developed at our church to start helping, looking at, I'll say, you know, whatever mental health needs, but whatever needs it might be from a medical some, not medical, I hate to say it that way, but to help people to do some basic testing, blood pressures and that sort of thing. And we're trying to get that where we finally got that vote, you know, the group, the deacons and elders, the church looked at it and we've got that program.

Don't don't let that dog get you out. Yeah. And so we, like I said, it's, uh, you know, we started getting it developed and my wife season or salt zone, it's something we're working together on. So well, that's, you know, that is cool. You know, and hearing stories, somebody who, you know, I don't know the background for someone to talk to you or old, but somebody who just take and move up and go where God leads you, man, that is just so, so powerful. And we all have that, you know, God nudges us to, to step out in faith. It's just a matter of if, if we're willing to do it and, and he will always bless that and stuff. So it's great to hear that.

And I know we will bless y'all's ministry because that's certainly, as you're talking, it's a ministry that, you know, especially it sounds like your, you know, the mental health issues and then Asian process and, you know, and there's, this world just needs to know that through Jesus Christ, they're loved. Amen. All right. Well, have a great day. And I hope, uh, hope you sold a lot of pancakes. We've got a lot of, uh, raised a lot of money. Thank you.

All right. And as we mentioned, again, what is that our soul needs? What, what do we need to, to, to, to be able to, you know, continue on and stuff. And, you know, we sat there and I read those two passages and then, you know, I read Jeremiah five 16, where it is, your words were found and I ate them. And your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart.

I am called by your name. You know, we read those passages and stuff, and it keeps pointing us that how important being in God's word, because that is what our body longs for. That's what really gives us, you know, that, that desire to keep pushing forward and stuff. And then I love, uh, you know, as, as Robbie is going to dive into, uh, Psalms one 19, one of the passages I wrote that wrote down was from Psalms one 19 is nine through 11.

And I thought that was kind of neat when I saw what he was going to be doing on his podcast and it is, how can a young man keep his way pure? And I, when I read that, I have to kind of change that to how do we, all of us keep our way pure by guarding it. According to your word with the whole heart, I seek you, let me not wander from your commandments. I have stored up in your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. You know, it's just being in God's word and, you know, we sit there and you think about it. What does, you know, God's word is the fuel for our soul.

It's sort of like a, you know, you put gas in an engine, an automobile engine, it really isn't anything but the means to the end in a way, you know, all it does is make everything work properly and causes the engine through the transfer case and differential to be able to put power to the wheels that the vehicle can keep going. You know, I think God's word does that for us in a way that it, you know, fuels us with hope, you know, without hope. What do we have? And really the only true hope we have is that in Jesus Christ.

So it goes all the way back to, you know, sort of the fuel thing where I start seeing that parallel where it's so strong. You know, if we live in a world that really in a lot of ways is a hopeless situation. I mean, it's a lot of hopelessness around us.

We sit there, especially the world that we live in today, I mean, we've just gone through a pandemic and now we're seeing it kind of spiking a little bit again and it's got people concerned and, you know, through 15 months of lockdown worldwide, you know, there was a lot of hopelessness and a lot of depression and you start seeing where people, you know, if you look at statistics and stuff from different organizations, you know, the uptick on homicides and suicides and drug addictions and addictions and stuff, you know, all just was rising so quickly because our human nature of needing to feel that void and stuff. And then especially when you have hopelessness sort of seek in and what is the only thing we have to combat hopelessness is hope and that hope is the only way we're going to find that is in Jesus Christ. And that's why it's so important to be in his word, to be open up the Bible and just study and let God speak to you through his word, be involved with God through prayer.

You know, I always say prayer is the currency that God uses to stay in connection with us. So when we sort of lose that, then all of a sudden hopelessness starts creeping into our lives. And at that point, we sort of lose focus on what God has a purpose for us.

We sort of lose hope and we just can't keep pushing ourselves. God wants us to be people that are in communication and in community with each other. You know, that's the other part about the pandemic and stuff that really bothered me was the fact that, you know, it sort of separated the church. You know, we go back into Acts in the early church, what was really one of the most important things was that gathering together and people being there to support each other. Without that, we sort of lose grasp of the hope that we have in Jesus Christ. So I think it's just so important that we stay in his word. It's the same thing, you know, if we're going to fuel our bodies.

We need to make sure that we're not those who are just sayers instead of doers. We need to make sure that we're in God's word and sort of no matter how many times and no matter how much fuel we put in the vehicle, if this vehicle is required to use a high octane gas and we're putting a low octane gas in it, then we're going to have poor performance on the vehicle. The vehicle is not going to perform properly. The gas mileage is going to go down. It's going to, you know, it's not going to start easy. It's going to knock. It's not going to accelerate.

It's going to stall and hesitate. So it can be a full tank, but if it's not the proper stuff, it's just not going to run right. Or we could even have something that isn't even supposed to be in there. And that's what the world tries to put in us, wants us to grasp stuff that's not in there. So we can have a full tank of diesel fuel in your gas burning engine and it's fuel, but it's not the proper fuel. So that vehicle is not going to run. It's the same thing with our souls.

You know, we can put in all the things the world tells us to put in, but if it's not the word of God and what God intended on us to be able to put in to fuel our souls, we are not going to perform very well. We may not even run. Same thing with our vehicle. And again, we'll be back in just a moment. You listen to Christian Car Guy Radio and it is a call-in show 866-348-7884.

Okay. We're back on the road and we're back in the studio and we're back on the air Christian Car Guy Radio show this morning. Again, what do we use to, we know we use fuel, the gasoline or diesel fuel to fuel our automobiles.

What do we use to fuel our souls? And this morning I have Sarah who is on the line from Washington state this morning and Sarah, how are you doing this morning? Good to have you.

You're up early, bright and early this morning in Washington state. Yeah. This is Sarah Linda from Port Orchard. All right. Okay.

I love, I love when you call in and stuff and when I'm in here and also when Robbie to hear you call. Okay. Oh, I got a little poem while we're all talking, while you all were talking, okay.

All right. Let's hear it. Oh Lord, please feed my soul with bread and wine to make me whole and honey from the rock I need to keep me sweet and plenty of water then I'll be complete and I'll keep hydrated so that this soul of mine will be all clean and fine. Oh yes, I'm most for God, all the mixture for my right, the ozone spot and all the ways I am, so I'll keep all fired up and keep on keeping on. Wow.

Sarah Linda, appreciate that. Did you write that this morning while we're on there? Yeah, that's my style. Wow.

Say something like that would take me about two weeks to do and then it wouldn't be nearly that good and see. Well, I, you know, I thought big joke long, long ago and you know, that's the way I could speak quickly was with my right side doing it and this is what the Lord gave me that. So I'm just real grateful.

Yeah. Then that sort of ties into when Earl called in earlier where you know what, God gives us gifts and God gives us opportunities and it's a matter of how we use them and what doors and if we're willing to walk through those doors that he opens for us. Yes, amen. And from what I know, you have spent a life of serving our Lord and Savior and thank you for the inspiration that is to I know so many other people.

Oh, I just praise the Lord and thank him and receive that thanks from you with a grateful heart. Amen. Amen.

Sarah Linda, have a great week and thank you for calling in. You're welcome and all the crew there. Amen. Amen.

Thank you. Well, as we talked about fueling our automobiles, one of the things that, you know, I just want to take a moment just to mention this whenever getting gasoline and stuff, even if your vehicle, this is just a thought that I sort of always do with my vehicles. One, if a vehicle is going to sit very long, make sure you put some kind of stabilizer in the fuel because gas will go bad, especially in, you know, extreme weather. So I encourage you to do that or it'll give you problems when you go back and crank the vehicle back up. But also on your everyday driver, if it is a vehicle that says, you know, you can use a lower octane every now and then I like to go and pull up the pump and put a 93 or a high octane gas in it, it sort of helps clean everything and just sort of, it's like taking medicine when we're not quite feeling as well as we need to. Sort of gives that engine a little boost, I think. So it doesn't cost much, but also making sure that you use the right fuel in your vehicle.

Because if you don't, again, it's going to cause you problems down the road. It increases your, decreases your gas mileage, increases the probability of having engine problems. And when you start having engine problems, then you're going to be calling Ray's Body Shop and record service to tow you off the side of the road where you're broke down.

It's going to cost you money to get it repaired. Then we go back to our souls. And as we mentioned, you know, God's word, being in God's word is really the fuel that we need.

And that fuel really feels sort of like the gas fuels the drive train of your vehicle. God's word sort of fuels our faith. And our faith is directly connected to our hope.

So you sit there and you look, and by being in God's word and studying on His word and taking time and just meditating with God and with Jesus Christ and let Him speak to you, you know, that gives us that energy to continue on through our faith and through having hope. Without that, we're like the rest of the world and hopeless. And, you know, we sit there and we turn the TV on now. That's what the, as I said, that's what the world is feeding us because we've gone through a pandemic.

We're looking at it spiking. We look and turn the TV on, you see all the social unrest, all the political unrest. We see job situations and violence and all that stuff on the increase. Even our kids, as far as, you know, my daughter, Taylor's a teacher. And one of the things that she just really worries about and stuff, and anybody in that business or has young kids is the fact that for a year and a half, they've been sort of isolated and taken out of the social aspect of what school, you know, school is, you know, you're learning the book learning and the studies and stuff, but also you're learning social skills and also in some incidents, that's the only structure that a child has in their life. There may just be a lot of things going on in their life, but when they're in school, we're structuring stuff and our kids need that. So, you know, I kind of really struggle with the fact of not having kids in school. And so, you know, we just need that to happen and we need to get back in school, in my opinion, but also we need to be in God's word.

And I'll say it again. It's so important to make sure that we're in relationship with Jesus Christ. And as I think about our kids, I love Deuteronomy 11, where it talks about our responsibilities as parents.

And I think it goes a lot further than just as a parent. It's a responsibility as an adult, as a grandfather, as an uncle or as an aunt or just a neighbor, a Sunday school teacher, somebody that kids are looking up to and is also influenced by. In Deuteronomy, it says, fix these words of mine on your hearts and minds, tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them to your foreheads. Use them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up, write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates so that your days and the days of your children may be many in the land that the Lord swore to his ancestor, to your ancestors, as many as the days that the heavens are above the earth. And I sit there and you read that and it seems so simple and I'm not going to put scripture and stuff on my doorframes and stuff and all of that, but really what it's saying is you live out your life and try to pass those truths to our children. And it may not be by sitting down and writing it all out or doing a study, they're seeing and they're watching us and also the world watches us as Christians. So if we're fueling our body through prayer and being in God's Word and that's strengthening our faith and giving us hope, we should be willing to share that with the world because the world certainly needs that today. You know, it's been a great show this morning, I was able to talk about some things that I have to kind of get excited about, one, talking about vehicles and also the gas and how we fuel them and stuff, but more importantly, what fuels our soul. You know, this weekend, you know, make it a weekend that you, if you're not in a Bible study or you're not in a devotion or you're not regularly in God's Word, if you're not involved in a church, make this the weekend that you change that. Get involved in a local church, get in God's Word because our bodies need that fuel. We don't live by bread alone, we live by God's Word. Again, great having you this morning, you've been listening to Christian Car Guy Radio. This weekend, walk through the doors of a church on Sunday morning and be blessed.
