This is the Truth Network. Welcome to the Christian Car Guy radio show.
I say this calls for action and now. I'm standing in my Savior's shadow. He is watching over me. I feel the rain. I hear the thunder as He cries for me. And standing in my Savior's shadow, grace will lead to where I'm free. Death has a shadow today on the Christian Car Guy show.
It's a sad thing that death has a shadow, but I just have to laugh to some extent. Jerry knows this because I told him. Nick may know it. That little intro that we had there, I wish I had my dad. That was my dad's favorite radio show growing up, obviously. And he used to do that. He did that whole bit all the time. And so all the time I was growing up, I would hear him get that laugh, and who knows what evil lurks in our hearts.
So when I started working on this show this morning, I couldn't help but recall my dad and this idea of death has a shadow. And I'm sure that for many of us, you realize I'm quoting something out of the 23rd Psalm, or you've heard that term before in the 23rd Psalm, but you may not know that King David obviously, I shouldn't say obviously, but he was a Torah scholar. I mean, King David wrote the entire Torah. He had to before he became king.
He continued to write another copy while he was king. And so it was clear to me as I studied the 119th Psalm for months and months how many times he would quote Job. There are words that are only in the book of Job or in the Psalms, and either Job said them or King David quotes them.
You know, it's kind of like those things. And one of those words is the shadow of death. And that word in Hebrew is absolutely beautiful because it isn't one word. It's not two. It's not the shadow of death. It's like one word.
But it clearly indicates that death does in fact have a shadow. And so if I quote this from where Job first mentions the word, right? At this point in time, he's lost all his family, all his goods, all his business. He's lost it all except his wife. And his buddies have come, and they've sat for a week. And for a while they did it right.
For a while they kept their mouths shut. And so at this moment in time, Job is going to say something. And this is some of the first words he says to his friends right here. He says, May the day perish on which I was born, and the night in which it was said, A male child is conceived. May that day be darkness. May God above not seek it, nor the light shine upon it. May the darkness and the shadow of death claim it.
May a cloud settle on it. So here we have Job. And for those who don't know my testimony, I was saved in the book of Job.
The book of Job grabbed Robbie's attention and got me. But there is Job before he knew God. See, at this point in the story, he knows of God. He's very familiar with the laws of God. He's very familiar with what he's seen God does. But he does not know God. And if you read on further in the story, you know, they go through a whole lot of shenanigans, essentially, to get to the point where God does finally show up in a storm.
Just like, you know, Blake Shelton sang here a minute ago. And when he shows up in that storm, you know, he's got a few questions for Job. Job actually gets to talk to God. And at this point in time, Job begins to know God. And when you actually know God, all of a sudden there's a different light source.
Right? When you're standing in the shadow of the sun, and Solomon would say this so many times in the book of Ecclesiastes, you know, all these years under the sun, well, the sun is a light source, but it's nothing like the true light source. And so in Matthew 5, 16, Jesus puts it this way. After he finishes, you know, the Beatitudes and the Sermon on the Mount, he hits you between the eyes with this one. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify their Father in Heaven. And so when you begin to be in the Savior's shadow, like Blake Shelton said, all of a sudden, hopefully you're a window now to the Savior rather than a shadow. In other words, when people see you, they should be seeing their Father, that God is the one that did that, and I just happen to live that this week to a great extent based on what you, our listeners, did for the Jesus-labor love. For those who may not be familiar, if this is the first time you listen to the Christian Car Guy show, within this show we have helped out single moms, widows, and families in crisis for years and years with car repair. We did that through God, right?
Completely. It was definitely God. God had to be in it for sure.
Yeah, it was God. In that God gave us the idea, and then, you know, clearly it was the donors that provided the resources in order to help the people, but God also provided the people that needed help. And so all we were were kind of the middlemen. We created the website at ChristianCarGuy.com where people could go apply for help, and once people could go apply for help, then we could ask people like you to meet those needs, and it was fascinating. We were just simply the middlemen of God meeting all these people's needs, especially the need for prayer and the need to understand where our help really does come from. And the Jesus-labor love, I am blessed to say, has done that in amazing ways over the years, but this particular week, you know, we talked about it last week, but we had more cars donated as a result of what we did last week. I mean, we literally had five cars donated. We had a waiting list of five cars. That's how many cars we needed. That's how many cars were donated this week.
That's not to say we don't need more cars. Guess what? The waiting list keeps growing, but the amazing thing to me is like, man, watch God go.
And we had a great week in donations as well. In other words, God just chose to, you know, let his light shine, and I just got a chance. Like, I have to say something. Like, I would be, like, the stones have got to cry out, man.
Like, we had, for those of us who know, I do Finishing Well. It's a radio show with some financial planners with Cardinal Guide. Well, Tom is one of the people that does that show occasionally with me, and he donated a 2014 Toyota Camry, see how new that is, with only 100,000 miles. I mean, this car has leather seats, backup camera.
It's just amazing, right? And so some single mom, widow, you know, Scott's working on that at this very minute, you know, is going to get this amazing, like, but we don't have any idea, do we, Jerry, what it's like not to be able to feed your family because you don't have a reliable car. Yeah, I mean, we live in a society now that absolutely you have to... All right, we're going to get him another mic. Switch, can you hear me now?
He's on mic four. There you go, try it now, Jerry. Okay, can you hear me now? Yeah.
All right. You know, the thing is, we live in a society and a culture that is dependent upon cars and transportation and getting there. I mean, I know when I was growing up, we had one car.
It was a one-car family. Everybody basically was a one-car family, and you did a lot of shuffling and walking and making do, but we live in a society now where we're transit. We need to get to places, doctor's offices.
Everything used to be basically in your neighborhood, and we don't fully understand, man, the value of that. I mean, if you're a single mom and you have, you know, just a couple kids or one kid that even doesn't have a problem, just to get into the doctor's office and you're trying to work and try to make your schedule work, without that transportation, man, it is just about impossible. And then if you add on, because I know plenty of the women that come through the Jesus Labor of Love also have children that have, you know, health problems and that they're having to also get to doctors and just sitting at a house and not knowing that if you needed to get to a doctor in an emergency and stuff without transportation, man, just having that car out there, just the relief and the burden that takes off of them. The real thing I hear all the time is, I can't get to work. And if they're not reliable at work, they lose their job. And when they lose their job, they lose their income, and there they are. They're trying to find a way to make things work.
But when that car isn't reliable, then, oh, my goodness, I mean, it puts them really in harm's way. And fascinatingly, I guess the Jesus Labor of Love is always, you know, kind of fit between the cracks of other social services because many of those social service companies actually, businesses or whatever you call them, agencies, they contact us when they have needs. And I'm honored to, you know, step in the gap where wherever it is the Lord, you know, provides the resources to be able to do that. And you just said it right there that the magic of it is the Lord provides. And the fact that when somebody comes and asks for help, if it's just help getting their car repaired or need a car, and sometimes it's just help to just talk things through and also just to sit there and have prayer with them. I know you and Scott have prayer continuously with these people. You know what? The most important thing is you can go to a lot of agencies, but we need to make sure that we show Jesus Christ in all of it.
And that is the most important piece of that whole puzzle. Well, this week we're talking about where can you see light shine and call us. Death has a shadow today on the Christian Car Guy show, but better yet, life has an amazing light that can shine through us when God, you know, shines it on us. You know, we can take our light out from underneath that bushel, and when we begin to shine it, oh my goodness, what people can see. And so my question today on the Christian Car Guy, what I would love to hear you call in, because, you know, it's callers that make the show as far as I'm concerned, like, where did you, you know, I'm telling you about what I saw this week in the Jesus Labor Love. Where did you see it this week?
Or maybe it was just recently. Like, oh my goodness, look what God did through that person. Look what God did through that situation. And like, oh my goodness, like, and you just saw it, that it was like a window into Jesus' heart of love.
And of course, just being right after Valentine's, you know, we're in the post-Hallett Valentine's show, you know, what a good thing. Like, he loves people in absolutely, absolutely amazing ways. And so if you saw that, I want you to call us, 866-348-7884.
866-348-7884. Hey, Robbie, I want to just say one thing, because I'm going to go back to the opening that you mentioned, because I do think too many times we don't see God working in our lives. We don't see God placing things and situations in our lives to point us and bring us closer to Him.
And it may be just a complete stranger on a corner. But also, I think, as you mentioned, when you're leading, and it had the shadow promo and talking about it being your dad and reminding you of your dad. You know, I lost my mom last week and stuff, and this also was with Ray and stuff, my dad and stuff, and others that I've lost. And I think sometimes God gives us those little nuggets every now and then to bring back those memories and stuff, and also just to give us that assurance of where they're at and stuff. Because I had this conversation yesterday with a dear friend of mine who lost his wife a few years ago, and he said to me, in which I thought, you know, that's just God letting you know that she's all right. He says, when I go down the road and I'm feeling, like, lost and just feel that emptiness, he goes, I'll look around and somebody will be in a car, just like my wife's car. She loved that car, but he said, at that point, I know, he said, they think I'm crazy, and I'll wave, because I know God placed that there to just bring me back to reality and stuff that she's fine, that she's in heaven, she's waiting on me. But it's just those little nuggets, and I think so many times, we just miss them. Oh, we do. And, you know, you just bring out an amazing point.
It's amazing. I guess, you know, my mother used to say, who's been gone longer, you know, since 2016, that the older I get, the more my treasure's in heaven. And I can assure you, the older you get, the more you're going to realize, like, man, God allowed you to stay here for whatever purpose he has for your life, but other people's purposes have been completed, and they are with him. And I am blown away constantly by how certain memories, you know, even when it comes to the Jesus-labor love, right? For those who know, the original story was Vic Hill, which was one of my best friends actually introduced me to my wife, was the original Scott Barton.
In other words, he did all the phone calls for the most part. He helped all these people, and, you know, his faith, he was one of the first people to ever disciple me, right? But it's a rare week that I don't see something Vic did in my life, you know, or something, and, you know, it was treasured friendships that you have. But, you know, I had another one, Miss Beck. You may have heard me talk about her for a year.
She was 104 when she passed. I bet you I had 15 things happen this week that Miss Beck said to me that greatly affected how I saw God. And, you know, she's still, she's more real than I am, right? She is with Jesus right now. It's beautiful.
She is whole and, man. But God does. He puts those things there to remind us. I mean, we have so many opportunities in front of us and stuff, and what too many times I may miss, because I'll admit, I'll get so busy, and I have to, things may slow down later in the evening, and I think back, I say, you know what, I miss that, because, I mean, it just brings back all those memories and stuff, and it also just encourages me to make sure I try to represent who they would want me to represent. It's like, Miss Beck, I know you've told the stories of going to the rest home in Mocksville, is that right?
Right. And, you know, those are memories that you always cherish, but also those are memories that give you the during, you know, as Paul said, you know, it's a long race, and I'm going to keep running until I take my last breath. And she was that picture. And, in fact, you know, I can see her at 100 years old, right? She is going around to the other rooms, getting people to come to the devotional, right? And she is, she's scurrying around, and she comes in, she plays the piano like you've never seen, and she is banging those keys with all her might to make sure everybody in the place knows devotions is going on, and we're going to have it, you know, and I look up at her, and I said, Miss Beck, at what point do you slow down? And she quotes, and I wish I had it on my mind that the quote in this, in Ecclesiastes, she says, Robbie, once you're inscripted in the war, you don't get out until the war's over. And, you know, it's one of those, you know, I will carry that with me always. Her light was shining, and I knew right then that there would be no time in my life that retiring would ever come into my equation. In other words, I may change the season of what I'm doing, but obviously, like, whatever God gave her to do, she did with excellence, and she did it to share the Savior, and she did it with all her heart, and it was a beautiful thing. And so I bet you've got somebody like that, and you're sitting there thinking, Robbie, I want to call.
Well, you've got to know the number, 866-348-7884, 866-348-7884. You bring up such an amazing, and it's kind of cool, isn't it, that, you know, I was thinking about my dad this morning, and, you know, to say he loved the radio drama would be an understatement, which clearly had something to do with me starting Christian Car Guy Theater and how much I've loved that over the years, and he even, there are episodes, my father's in. Maybe I ought to get those out and play them again. You know, even with, you know, going back to the Jesus' labor of love, is the fact that, and like talking about Mr. Hill and stuff, these people made an impact.
Their legacy was something that we'll never fully understand. We could be praying with somebody today, and that may be the only glimpse of Christ they see at that moment, and it may be the glimpse that brings them to Christ or also encourages them to carry on with Christ. All right.
Well, you call us, 866-348-7884. We'll be right back. Death has a shadow today on the Christian Car Guy show, and, you know, it's a funny thing. We've studied the book of Job, and I can't recommend it high enough that in those early pages you can see the despair of not knowing God, and it was horrible, and he used such beautiful vocabulary in describing how he felt that King David, you know, he grabbed that, and one of those words that he used was the shadow of death. You know, however, at the end of the book, you may know he gets life, and clearly he got it abundantly in many ways. God returned to him, you know, all these different things in great numbers as he did David, right, and it's an amazing thing. And so when we look at our own lives, I'm hoping that you've accepted Christ and you actually have him in your life, and you know what it was like to live under the shadow of death, but you also know what it's like to live under the light of God and an opportunity to be a window not just to see clearly God directly, but often, often we see God through somebody else, and it was their light that was shining that then we get to be a window of that as well, and certainly testify, man, look what God did through this person. Look what I got to see, and I would love for you to call and testify to that.
866-348-7884, 86634 Truths. We got Mike, he's in Dayton, Ohio. Mike, my friend.
Hi. What's on your heart? Well, so my heart is, I've been reading through the Bible this year, and I'm at the place where they're building a tabernacle and it's made of gold and silver and intricate instructions how to make the ark and all that stuff, you know, and I was praying to God this morning and said, you know, God, why did you build a tabernacle so elaborate? And then I thought about, you know, the cloud and the fire inside of it, you know, around it, and God says, you know, you are the tabernacle now, and I went, wow, I want you to shine your light, and I want to follow you, and I want you to be around, and I want to be around you, Mike, and I went, wow.
We're word-lined with gold, and we've got fine linen because we have Jesus who died for us, and we shouldn't be afraid to say anything or do anything for God because, you know, he's right there with you, and the more you realize that, the more you study your Bible, the more you realize how precious you are to God, and by being precious to God, you're willing to do God's will and you're willing to do the fruits of the Spirit, you know, the kindness, giving, loving, caring, and those things just become real easy because you're a child of God and you're the tabernacle now, you know, so. Yeah, not only easy, Mike, but fun, right? Amen.
It is fun. You know, I've heard you share your story, the famous seat bell push stories from the, you know, median, and the thing that's quite obvious, you know, the way it's described in the 16th Psalm, you know, just is down there in my heart. In his presence is fullness of joy. At his right hand are pleasures forevermore. So there's Mike in the median, pushing this man's car, you know, with his seat belt, and just having a blast, right?
Right. And that's life abundant, right? That, you know, walking in obedience to his commandments, the yoke could not be lighter because you're having such a blast when you actually realize, oh, my goodness, I am partnering with God in this and I get to come right alongside of him in this, and that's the picture that I see so clearly when I get calls like, here's Mike, and I hear, man, that sounded like a lot of fun, right? It is a lot of fun. And the other day I was listening, and, you know, they were wanting to give Bibles out to the place, and I said, I'm going to not take so much.
I'm going to downsize my coffee so I can be able to do that. Well, I did, and every day I went after that, went to Speedway, and the manager says to me, boy, you're always happy. You're always smiling. I says, well, that's the way I like to be, you know?
I mean, you can always be on the negative side, but I want to try to be on the positive side. She says, oh, you're a man of God. I'm like, yeah. She says, how come you're getting a small coffee to make a small long story short? I said, well, I'm giving to this Bible thing and I'm getting a small coffee now, and she says the coffee's on me.
I went, wow. So I was willing to give up my coffee, which is not easy for people. I know that. It's not easy for me. Amen, brother.
I'm with you. But then the manager has given me free coffee, and I'm still getting free coffee from her, and I'm using my coffee money to, you know, to give to God. You know what I mean?
I mean, it's giving others the extra gifts. There you go, and they get, you know, just think someday they may have that same experience you had with studying about the tabernacle or I had in studying Jehovah. Or, Jerry, what's something that lit up your world in the Bible recently?
Well, you know what? Psalms 102, and I can go deep into that, but just to begin in the first four verses of Psalms, where David's just crying out, Where are you, Lord? Come and get me.
Come and save me. To me, I'd look back, and I did Mama's funeral. One of the things I mentioned was that because we did homecoming at the little church we grew up in, and one of the things that I found when we was cleaning out our house before she went into a facility because of Alzheimer's was this card that she had written on there, Homecoming 2011, Gold Floss Baptist Church.
I'm so proud and blessed. All my kids were there, and she wrote everybody's name down, and then she put Psalms 102, which was the message that morning, so I went back and read it, and I said, You know what? That was the last moments of her life. She lived that, and it always just changed the way I look at that passage and stuff, so I don't know.
You got me going. I'm going to go read Psalms 102. I know, because I was at the funeral. You know, one of those difficult things is actually to eulogize your parents, and I loved what you said. I don't know if you remember this, but what you said to me was, You feel the pressure of the time, but these things need to be said about my mom, and that's exactly like you don't want to let go of all that she was, and the great news is you pointed out so well this morning is we never will. Never will.
There's always those little nuggets out there. It is like I know you had that kind of feeling for your dad, Mike, and I don't know if you took part in his funeral. Yes, I did. It's a tough thing, but I'm so glad I did. I'm so glad I did, and I bet you are too, and I was so glad that Jerry did, because there's only a touch that Jerry could have put on his mom, and the granddaughter that spoke.
I forget her name, but... Yeah, Peyton did an awesome job. And she bawled. I mean, she bawled from the beginning, and it was quite a presentation, and she cried from the beginning to the end, but for anybody that didn't feel God in that, they didn't see love.
I mean, it was love in its purest sense that that was just... right? Yeah, you know, and I think so many times in our lives and stuff, those people that make that impact, because as I told Robin, we talked about it a moment ago, is who I am is because of who she was. I mean, I'm a product of her love and her love for Jesus Christ and her love for loving other people and for holidays and stuff like that.
That's who I am because it rubbed off, and I was able to see her in the good times and the rough times in her life and stuff. I mean, my dad, Ray, was not an easy person to have to... I would... Deal with.
Yeah, absolutely. I know one thing. Myra would throw me to the curb a long time ago, but Mom was committed to that, and I was able to see that, and it took a while before I understood the value, the lessons that she taught me through that whole process. And I bet you this is sparking something in your heart, so you call us. The number is 866, because, again, that's the phone calls that make this show. 866-348-7884. 866-348-7884 is the number to call, and, you know, the Bible is clear.
It's better to be in a house of mourning than a house of feasting, right? And the reason I feel so clearly, it causes us to push into God, like Psalm 102 says. Like, man, I need you right now. Like, your faith becomes so important to you when you really are at that place where you lose somebody you love. Thank you so much for your call, Mike, and I'm hoping many more will be behind you.
866-348-7884. We'll be right back with Death Has a Shadow. Death Has a Shadow today on the Christian Car Guys show. We would love to know your story of when you actually were on the opposite side of that, when you had life, and you were a window, or you were a light that shined on a hill.
You were given that opportunity, or you know you got to see it in somebody else, which is spectacular, right? You saw that light shine, and as we started out at the beginning of the show, the Jesus-labor-loves-car-repair-labor for single moms and widows and families in crisis and through that we get to see, I've seen repair shop after repair shop after repair shop step up. The stories always have amazed me how God's light shines through guys that just, you know, they really didn't have the money.
You know, I wish I could tell you. I really do, because when I first started this ministry, and Jerry knows this, I went to all the big dealerships that actually had money. I mean, I know because it came out of that industry that most of those chains of dealerships, those people have lots of money, and I went to the ones I knew, and well, you know, they had a lot of reasons, but interestingly, it was the small independent shops that jumped right in, and you know, they helped and da-da-da, and you got to see the light shine, and you know, I guess I'll just tell a story because I have to. But I want your story.
I want it to be 866-348-7884, 866-348-7884. The one that will always, always, always jump out at me was a body shop in Fort Worth, Texas, right, and this lady was like two weeks before Christmas, and what had happened to her, and it happens to a lot of folks is they don't realize that when they don't keep the insurance on their car, the bank will send them some type of a notice that say if you don't get insurance on this, we're going to have to charge you for single coverage insurance, and they think they still have insurance, but they don't. Okay, so if you live in North Carolina, it's pronounced insurance, but in the rest of the country, it's pronounced insurance, so I can go either way, but nonetheless, if you think, if your bank is charging you for single-covery insurance, you don't have insurance in case your car is wrecked. The bank's covered, but you're not, so this lady had that insurance, and she had a bad accident, and apparently what had happened was the front fender had come down and popped the tire and had bussed the battery, and so she wasn't able to move the car. The bank was going to repossess it because she couldn't keep her job because her car was there, but she couldn't get it fixed because the insurance was ready to help the bank if the bank ended up repossessing the car, but the insurance was not going to help her, and at the time, you know, I had contacted this battery company, which remained nameless, and they had always told me they would help me help, you know, so I knew I needed a battery, and they wouldn't. Like, and time and again, every time I'd call them, they wouldn't help me, and it just frustrated me no end until one time, I'm Psalm 102-ing to God. Like, I'm furious.
I'm like, God, really? These people have all this money. Why is it that they will not help this? I mean, this is a battery, for goodness sakes.
They own an old battery company. This is one battery, you know, and I'm just screaming, and God, you know, in a sense of humor, he looks at me, and essentially he says, Robbie, if you care so much about this situation, why don't you help the lady? Well, at the time, you know, financially, that was way beyond anything I could do.
However, I knew what he meant. Get on the phone and find her some help, and so I just spotted where she was in Fort Worth, Texas, and just Googled body shops that would be somewhere around the area, because obviously, even if you got the battery in there, if you don't get the tire off, the fender off the tire and get a tire on there, she can't drive the car, so I call this first, very first body shop that's right down the street from her, and I'm like, and the secretary answers, and I said, hi, this is Robbie Dilmore with the Jesus Labor Love. We help single moms, widows, and you know, I have this car, and she says, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I can't help you. You're gonna have to talk to the owner. Oh, I'm great. I'll talk to the owner. You know, let me talk to him. So he answers the phone, very Texas accent, which my wife's from Texas, so I speak that language, and he's like, and so I said, you know, I'm with the Jesus Labor Love, and he goes, stop right there. Do you mean to tell me that you talk about Jesus Christ on the radio?
And I didn't know. I had no idea if I was fixing to get blasted or he was, and he says, let me tell you something, sonny. You can't outgive God, and you just tell me what that lady needs, and she'll be on the road today, and I was like, well, sir, you know, you might wanna, you know, I worked in a body shop a number of years, and I'm like, you might wanna cut yourself a little slack here, because, you know, it's got a pop tire, and, you know, the fender's down there on that, and the battery's spinning. I told you it'd be on the road today, and it was. That man paid, in other words, this was an independent body shop just like yours, right?
Yep, yep. A week before Christmas, or it might have been three days before Christmas by the time I finally got to this point, and that man, right, he shined, like, beautifully. You know, I will never, ever, ever forget how I felt, how angry I was, you know, with God and all this stuff, but, right, there he shows up. You know, I'm gonna make a challenge, I mean, because I'm in body shop business, record business, and if you're in the listening area, if you're hearing our voice this morning, and you own a repair facility, believe me, there's people in your area that you could show Jesus Christ to, just from something as simple as making sure they know how to check their oil for it. I mean, there's so many widows out there who've lost their husbands that have always done that, and they just don't know.
They just need somebody they can trust to talk to. If there's somebody, there may be somebody in your area that has applied to Jesus' labor of love that needs help, you know, I encourage you to go onto the website, and just get the information, and make yourself available, because God will bless that, and, you know, I don't want anybody to ever take away from the local church or what they're doing, but if you're in business, you have the opportunity to help somebody, I encourage you to do that, and I just think it's just so important. I think it's, it means, it means so much as far as God's kingdom, but also in your community, people hear about that, that you're willing to help others and stuff, and it's not all about, I think sometimes repair industries get a bad rap because it's like, oh, they're out there just trying to make money, and this is one of those opportunities to say, you know what, I'm giving back to the community, I'm doing it through Jesus Christ. Right, and that's the reason why we named it that to begin with, and what it's about, and so the website, if you don't know, is ChristianCargai, it's all one word, christiancargai.com, and if you look at christiancargai.com, you're gonna see two banners, one is like Jesus' labor of love, apply for assistance, which if you need assistance, that's what that's there for, and obviously if we don't have people applying for assistance, we can't help them, and so we desperately need people to be humble enough to admit they need help, but also if God's put it on your heart to give in any way, shape, or form, there's a place where you can donate a car, you can donate money, or you can donate prayer, whatever it is that you want, and if you wanna get up with me, I am always delighted, and that happens all the time, my phone number, everything, if you look under the Robbie tab at christiancargai.com, my stories there, all sorts of stuff, including my phone number, if that's something that you feel like you need to talk to me about something, hey, I am available, and I'm one of those people that yes, I really do try to answer my phone as much as possible. And you know the other piece of that, Robbie, because there's a lot of organizations out there, this is one that I can say, you know what, if you give a dollar, a dollar goes to the ministry, it goes to help somebody, if you give a car, there isn't any of these hidden charges that somebody in the management of that or in the non-profit of that organization is getting a salary or taking money, I mean it all goes to help in the name of Jesus Christ.
Right, essentially we don't have any paid employees, and it's all volunteer, and it's all, you know, if you give a dollar, it's gonna go to, if you got a car and you wanted to go to somebody and you wanna follow where that car goes, you know, we do that as well, however we can help. So we're obviously honored, maybe not obviously, but we are honored that you would spend time with us today, and most importantly, obviously, we want you to realize that life knowing God is life. Life not knowing God is death. So if you don't know God, you know, there's plenty of ways to just pray that simple prayer, like Jesus, help me, help me, help me, I need your blood to save me. And, you know, reach out and tell somebody you did that and let them help you, you know, grow in your faith. And remember, Jesus walked everywhere he went and got it all done in 33 years, so slow down. We listen to the Truth Network, truthnetwork.com
