This week Robby reveals an earth-shattering revelation about how you should merge in traffic. Later we talk about how to use Christ and Community to overcome addiction.
Christian radio show for today on the Christian card. I showed my good friend Bob.
That was quite lively. I need a break. I need a break. Some we need some freedom somewhere all about that today on the Christian card as you may have noticed my friend Marty McFly and the doctor were talked about 88 mph because they had a breakthrough. I don't know if you noticed that they did have a breakthrough freedom in time. I may not and then turn the world into your dance floor determinate. I don't know if you've ever seen the movie lemonade mouth. That's where that song came from, as well as a breakthrough sign in, but in case you didn't notice. I have a lot of fun. Bob put me in trust together, absolutely. Whether I understand them or not. As you know, I am literally like turning the world into my own dance floor. II have a blast with the technology that we have here in our studios it that the Truth Network of creating those intros that bring my thoughts into an and so I sit there people think I'm nuts but I literally work on that for an hour and 1/2 two hours and have a blast doing it because what I'm really doing is I'm turning the world into my dance for me.
I'm just having a time, reveling in what God is showed me to share this week and I do this every week and I don't always understand that the very beginning, but usually by the end of the show right there with you and so I don't know if you noticed that song breakthrough will be right near the end she said sometimes you gotta prove to the world. They were wrong.
We are going to attempt that today I'm a Christian you forest outside.
I've got a lamp got swelling the way they were going to do that to talk about biblical freedom were to talk about my we got a lot of stuff to talk about. But before we go there. I want to invoke in you. Probably some if it like this. This is very provoking clip from the Washington Department of Transportation or maybe it was.
I forget for the state thing is Washington now when you listen to this clip. I want to get ready to call in with your reaction. 866-348-7884 was a member calling insurer, 866-348-7884. Again, this is talk about something that's near and dear to a lot of our hearts and this has to do with your two lanes and gotta come into one lane and we used to call him Marvin the merger and people would call in and just wanted to slaughter Marvin the merger, the guy that cuts out in front of everybody and jumps him all, here's what the Washington Department of Transportation has to say to you, Marvin.
The merger southbound US 101 near State Route eight in Thurston County, Washington, has regular traffic backups. Drivers use the left lane will be for the area were two lanes become one. At the same time, the right leg was mostly unused, which contributes to the congestion washed up would like your help to reduce this congestion during peak traffic times. Drivers are encouraged to use a proven technique called zipper merge were vehicles use both lanes and then merge late coming together like the teeth of his ever driver cooperation helps increase the number of vehicles passing through and actually reduces congestion and delays, allowing the person in the next lane to merge greatly helps to increase the efficiency of this existing highway to reduce congestion. Remember the zipper merge late and cooperate.
It's okay to take turns due by the Washington State Department of Transportation side and I forget the message there but merge late and cooperate. It's okay to take turns you like me and Bob, you have sat there and applauded trucks that blocked Bothell and you are just like this is the best thing that's ever happened was that this truck is blocking both lanes, so these Marvin mergers don't come across in and cut in front of everybody at an and and so I'm thinking you're like me, you know, in the end, in that this is firing you up so feel free to call us at 866-348-7884 had a friend Tuesday night, he wanted to shoot out tires early this whole issue has been a hotbed of controversy in my heart, if nowhere else I'm 61 years old and today's the first day that I have ever considered the fact that it was good for people to come on up and around and merging end and everything and so here's kind of loose begin to think about freedom here a minute and in the by the way, there's a biblical precedent here that you may not want to hear me say, but Jesus was pretty clear on this issue.
He would approve a zipper merging on dystonia as he said the last will be first in the first the first will be last. I'm just saying I had a policy with the youth Great Bend.
Some of the fillers with really prone to rest from the line and so I start low policy. If I salsa my running to get to the front of the line you need to go to the bank and the and then everybody less likely to � at their to the front end and be read about it. Gina so the first will be last in the last will be first large really. I want you to react with. I'm shocked that you Bob nobody's called and yet I mean I'm I'm sure that a lot of you are fired up your thinking about this, but let's let's collide and try to climb, which give me and I'll give you the number to call in because I really would like to talk to you. 866-348-7884 and all the lines are open so you get right on 866-34-TRUTH 87884. So if you could climb with me to 20,000 feet and look at this thing from above like the Washington Department of Transportation is that essentially you got a 20 pound bag of sand and you're trying to fit it into a 10 pound bag of sand.
So if you try to fit 20 pounds of sand and untamed 10 pound bag of faint Sanders got all these cars that they got a come together some if you eliminate, you know half the bag of sand that you won't let anything get in then obviously a whole lot less land is going to get in your 10 pound bag and and it's going to cause the sand back way up it you know in in our example that we have here in our area because it's 40 business 40 is closed coming into Winston-Salem right now and you have to merge on business 40 and and in it if people went the way that a lot of us would want them to, and all get in the one lane, all merging way back way way way back there and everybody would be fair in the first person would get their first everybody did that exactly right. Then you would have to get in line somewhere around Greensboro about 60 miles away at 7 o'clock in the morning because you know it's it's it's you're trying to fit again a 20 pound bag of sand and a 10 pound bag and so you got this whole situation that you gotta make it all fit. So if you could in fact climb to 20,000 feet with us for a minute right and think about this, that if at the end of that zipper merging. Everybody just got in the left lane like they normally would've the right lane and in other words, filled both lanes are as much traffic is moving forward is possible.
Nobody with the idea that all I gotta be first or I can be last or anything else. You just fill up both lanes of traffic because that's what's going to happen and then when he got to the end. If we all weren't like me because I am the worst offender right here. I understand if somebody's head of me.
You are not cut in front of me buddy.
I don't care how many barrels I got a knockdown thing. I'm not talking to myself you I get it I get it because it robs us wrong because this person that was behind this is getting in front of us.
They think they're entitled. They think they're entitled an idea change my thinking brother. I hope you have changed by think the guy I you know I'm I actually because most days I've got to come that route and certainly due to three times a week I get. I've been trying to test this theory for some time to see if I could get it to work in my heart as it's one thing to work out on paper but it's another thing when the last really are being first. There must be something to do with our hearts here is truly things for free when I get to that 866-34-TRUTH 87884, he Marvin mergers he got a call if you merge late cooperate and take turns.
Now you may have been struggling with this concept and if she missed the beginning the showers were talking about the idea of zipper merging and and you're talking about, to reform sinners right here. I mean it's totally your feel free to call in because I I'm not can it be, you know, because I feel just like you do. It's just not right. How could somebody go ahead of me that was behind me may not be fully reformed, not II understand intellectually at this point at least that.
Here's the deal.
That actually it is the last can we be first in some cases, but let's just let's just be patient. A minute were sit and and and and here we go so we could be, you know, just as training for you Bob. Just as training. This is what I'm trying to must I go out in the left lane occasionally and I play Marvin the merger. Now that's hard because I'm been the one that's rude now and then the people you know they're not cooperate with and not let me. And I mean they would soon die. Let me get in there in front of an OC. Gotta find a truck or whatever it just as training to see how it would feel to be in those shoes. You know occasionally you know you can break out of the law and move into freedom and say you know the actually the laws of the state of North Carolina and Washington all that would rather that you be in the left lane and they will then you hold up everybody in the right lane, especially if you were to block both lanes about get a ticket for that because you're blocking the traffic on purpose.
You're not in your lane, you're on your you've broken the law, but were living in freedom here on the Christian car � I would live in grace and so can we have grace for Marvin the merger, but the ideas breakthrough because on the other side of this bottleneck and it is a bottleneck right. It won't be five minutes 10 minutes. Maybe it will be 20 minutes of your life that are bottled up in this conflict of whose can be first okay but on the other side there's freedom okay and I'll bet you anything that the may be 20 people get ahead of you may be 100 people got ahead of you, but two or three minutes down the road. Everybody is resuming the speed that they originally gonad and there will not be of 32nd difference between where those hundred people got more you got to believe that see the mayor so you get all upset over nothing because at the end of the day you're coming through and that just like it says that's all you're going to break through and when you get through. Now you're on the other side of the bottling and you're free and you're free to move about the country you've experienced freedom from this bottleneck as a great feeling about it is it is in two thirds of the things I get upset about our Galactic Lee stupid on my part because I found myself getting upset about stuff that has no bearing on the got serious issues with my family and got issues at work. I got issues with ministry and I am sitting here frightened to death over, you know's 10 people get the car ahead of me for 20 seconds ideas, but that's way so let's talk about one of the most famous bottlenecks in the history of the world. I mean talk about your bottleneck. I don't know if you really ever consider this bottleneck but it was Moses was up against the mountain okay were to get that bottleneck now so we got some Jesus label us different shares or hang with me, but this is cool stuff.
Moses is at the bottleneck of all time right I'm he's up against the seat and oh by the way, the whole Egyptian army is behind and I got chariots and their faster and they're bigger and stronger, and they're not bringing lunch with them for a picnic or anything know that there there that this is serious stuff here they come out. We know from the story and I hope most of you are familiar with it that God told him what you got your hand and you know he takes his staff and elicit, but which may miss lessee look very carefully carefully at the Baptist words of how it goes down is he's holding up the staff, but it's actually as Hannity stretches out when the waters move okay now when those waters move and they begin to separate there's a very, very, very interesting word that God uses right there in the word would probably be pronouncements like Baca which it's like to be a Q a and the word has to do actually my definition of that word would be to hatch what yeah to hatch like a Leica butterfly coming out of its cocoon like that, hatch or a chicken coming out of the egg that cannot hatch. That's the word that happens when Moses stretches out his hand. Now he's got that we've got the staff out.
Don't miss that part. But then he stretches out his hand and all the sudden you get this hatch like what there's a hatch and when this hatch happens there is a separation of the waters and then all my goodness, the Israelites go through on dry land in what would be probably considered the largest baptism in the history of the world's second-largest, his nose probably bigger and I know you got a really serious baptism at all. If you've ever thought about that but by the way, that word were Moses stretched out his hand and Baca.
That word was used before. One time in the Bible it was used when Noah's deeps were broken up and the springs came out same word hatch so it is another time.
The waters coming up like big time. It's it's hatching this time and it's creating this other baptism, which when you think about God's love. He was so interested in your kids being set free from their sin and me being set free from my sin and you being set free from your sin that he baptized the entire earth with this particular hatch so that Noah and the boys could come through on the other side into freedom because all those people that were drowned in the flood.
All the ones that were chasing Moses and all the ones that was one after Noah. Guess what, if they had their way, they would've taken Noah into slavery and I can assure you, the Egyptians were headed to slavery and your baptism is along those lines. Got Nancy in Winston-Salem. She decided to talk to her when we come back we are breaking through to freedom. We are glad we have Nancy in Winston-Salem. She has a comment for Samantha.
You're on the Christian car � of the morning. I'm excited to hear what you actually like now Marvin Marvin, the merger Marvin on market Marvin Welch is now part you rightly need to think or how electronically I had been laying block lack and back current Marvin II commend your freedom Marvin. I'm glad that you are turning the highway in your dance floor.
I mean clearly walking in the freedom that God gave you to choose your lane with with confidence because you know it's it's really okay and I like Ike I applaud your freedom. I do. I think that's awesome. I Nancy God bless you. I'm so glad you called in today Marvin.
I hadn't really thought about when that's now you may have the opposing view the Nancy Nancy market you know and see. We would love to hear from you to.
I mean, I think this is something we gotta talk about this know the world is finding frustration here is ruining people's days in their lives and also to there's probably been accidents and who knows what all is a result of this sign language. This bottleneck, you know, it is this whole thing so getting back to my hatch word the Baca that that that you will find this is so beautiful to me.
The more I thought about it I just all week long and so beautiful that theirs is cutting that is clearly associated with the word and after that if you look at the Hebrew letters which you may know, I study that kind of thing and I love it. There's these guys that come open the word that the letter Zion and so after the cutting your eyes come open and and so if you think about a little baby chick. It comes out of the bag and also in his eyes come open and and if you really think about it that when you are born. There was a cutting there was a cleaving of the waters and the water came out.
The next thing you showed up right and then your little eyes came open and you are born the first time, but it was a picture of something that Jesus really is trying to explain to Nick at night.
You know that that you must be right hatched again whether attached are born and isn't it fascinating that that's the word that much that God used to describe what Moses did with his hand. That would send these people through and and don't miss the beauty of the fact that they're the people that were dying to enslave Moses. The people were dying to enslave Noah were all drowned because God knew that the Moses needed to get the job done, or otherwise we wouldn't you know there were people in Moses his group that were the seeds of Jesus Christ I mean he's looking at this thing from 40,000 feet and he sees a bottleneck. And even though the Egyptians thought they were first in this case they were last on Windows I am a big baby baby. They could maybe go faster and they had the chariots know it's tough but they were held up so the picture is freedom okay. On the other side of the bottleneck when you come when you're born, right your you're free to move about the country when you break out of the bottleneck in the traffic you're free to move about the country and in that freedom you can revel no matter what kind of shenanigans happened in childbirth right I mean it was a tough situation. I'm thinking that these bottlenecks are tough situations but on the other side of the tough situation comes freedom, and in that freedom you can turn the world into dance floor and and you can do a whole lot of playing out. There's this other thing that I'm sure you're with me. You like. I know that I'm under the blood of Christ, and I know I was born again. But why do I get so mad at Marvin. The merger, why do I want to shoot his tires out what is going on with me. Well the truth is that in John Owen put this and I can never ever let it go. He said there is a deep cleansing of the blood of Christ, and the longer you are in Christ. The more you get to know that there are things that are deep inside that you just can't tell yourself to stop it. You can't meet Bob you'd like to say I know you're getting mad, stop it, you can say that but you know your slave what's going on that and and and your being compelled to do something in you can feel the chains and the truth is there is a root to that the D. A deep deep deep root causing this anger.
That's causing this bitterness that's causing all the stuff and if you really want to face that Jesus would love to go 88 miles an hour with you be a flux capacitor to take you back in time to show you what that isn't.
So this is a lot of exposure, but God clearly told me I was to share the story to come and give you the example of it. Okay, so I had a serious issue with lust and actually pornography. I did and I struggled with it. Even after I got in the ministry, even after I started doing the show and have no idea the shame that went along with that for the how low I felt there was no freedom there and I was completely in bondage, and I was with some friends men's group.
We are meeting together and one of the brothers there talked about the struggle he was having not in the same area and in his description of that struggle. He talked about how the counselor that he was seeing took him back to when there was a younger version of himself.
Young Sam and that by getting to that younger kid and seeing what the struggle was there.
Jesus came into that and he went to the root of what was causing the anger and the and the frustration and was able to hatchet he was able to cleave that route spread the waters of baptism over it and he was set free from literally exposed it and got have voted yet. A lot of digging and you get down to the bottom of this route and then when Jesus cleaves it and by the way my opinion only. Jesus completed that root that was sucking the bitter all in the bitter wormwood.
That's what Bitterroot get by the way if you check it out.
Deuteronomy that's what you get and that's what I was sucking on gall and wormwood. I can assure you I was in so I got so encouraged by that freedom. I went is just our check with the Holy Spirit the next morning in prayer will if my buddy Sam can do this I can do it God show me where is my Bitterroot. With this demography issue with this luster should what is going on with an he started to take me back.
We started doing some digging to get to this route and actually the incident that had to do with a family member that essentially expose yourself to me.
I I kept saying no, that can't be at that in that he Took take. Let's go hear Robbie, this is this is where was this is where was we kept going.
We kept on and then Jesus was like here I want to give you your innocence card that was exactly his words to me and I was like no you don't understand I'm guilty.
I wanted to look at Mrs. my real suspect. I'm guilty you can give me that I can't take it.
He goes oh yeah, and see this was the deep cleansing. Jesus wanted to. This was the cut that he wanted. He wanted me to reach out and say your medicine.
Even though I knew I was guilty because the biggest problem was forgiving myself, not the people that were involved in duping me it was my pride that was saying no no no no no I'm guilty I'm guilty I deserve what I got and he's like Robbie didn't pay enough did not pay enough we got me about what is the hardest is sometimes it's hardest to forget it and when I grab that card studied the root was probably five or six is point and I will set free.
The water came afresh and I was on the other side of the and I could walk in freedom and I have no way of explaining that is beautiful you and no longer is lay takes a little hatching. Just saying today on the Christian card I show what is it look like in your life well Bob kind of convicted me that I need to tell a bit more to this story about my own addiction to pornography and the things it is told you how I got set free, but right after I got set free.
God had this conversation with me, Robbie, now you need to share this with your wife.
Don't try this at home please please list you have a lot of prayer in and whatever but that the this was a situation where my wife when we went to see fireproof years before she coming out of the theater. She said if I ever find that you did some like that I'm divorcing you tomorrow so you know the ending was up as far as I was concerned if I told her this. This is coming into my marriage and in the shame and guilt and all that stuff that was part of his unbelievable and so you know, in God's providence, not eight days after this incident were supposed to go to marriage retreat and in this marriage retreat. The last day of the marriage retreat.
They had some call to come.
The silence for comp couples and they wanted us to come together in prayer together and share something with your mate that you'd never been able to share with them before now. It would appear that the jig was up. If you are me was like okay well fortunately we had a whole weekend to really get closer together, get more on the same page and oh my gosh if you have to share with your wife and break her heart and watch all the tears and see all that your actions have done your wife's heart. It's it's a horrible because this is the person you're supposed to protect love and is it I can't even begin the to explain the hurt that was involved. However, the forgiveness came on the other side of the bottleneck and for the first time. Honestly in my life I was loved for who I was, not to say I pretrade myself to be the center that I was in fact in it. This was not coming out with my wife and struggle.
It still struggles you know, as you might imagine, but on the other side where she took me off the pedestal and she began to love Robbie to be Robbie not some saint that she thought I was. Then there's no doubt that that led more towards my freedom. You see, to know that I was truly loved unconditionally and that my wife would stay married to me, not to the picture of me suboptimal units it's it's worth five or six years and the other side of this� No, by no means easy, but he gave me the freedom, but it took some cutting and it and it took some water and it took. Most importantly the blood of Jesus Christ in both our lives done and that rate was there so essential to where you are now. Oh yeah oh yeah I would. You know I would be the biggest phony like probably still a big phony but I mean at least you know I got one of my little phony things that you know love the Lord's continuing to show me other places where I've got work to will.
I've always focused on trying to do the best things I can do in spite of who I am because I'm never going to get it completely right and and there's times when I've added a whole lot closer to right and then a whole lot closer to God and and then there's times when I feel like I'm way farther away and somebody looked at me one day's moved had I let it who moved God didn't leave Eagle and it moved over there away from you know your closeness. There's been periods of my life.
I just felt so close� Everything I needed was right there and then there's times when I feel like I how can I get a little help here to get a little help you yes for him and Nickelodeon in elites right here, but I just and I just have to remember that I'm the one that moves back and forth God's a steady hour. It's a beautiful thing and I I you know were so blessed here at Christian card I show to have this ministry to Jesus labor love we get to see God at work in all sorts of people's lives and and and one of the things that happened this week. You know what we we we repaired lots of cars.
This really spoke to my heart and so I want to share on the air. I got a letter in a wonderful very generous donation from a lady out of the state of Washington and I was want to read this to you sister Robbie and friends and the friends being all the people that pray for this ministry and are are part of that. Okay, it's all of us.
So although I'm not a great car fan.
This shekel is extra special with this driving tips card tips.
Most of all the emphasis on Jesus.
The word and serving others. The station in Seattle in the Syria Ad-Aware I list to show is broadcast on 7 AM on Saturday mornings's case. EIS wonderful station. By the way, 6:30 AM and this is an amazing community retired school of serving missions and missionaries and many others. So no, and they been doing this as well for a long time this community was founded in a miraculous way by man and his wife who live by faith, with the support of many other believers so you get this to hear there in in Portland they've got this wonderful place where these families have come together to to a live finish. Well I guess that would be a good way to put it it says I'm a resident of the retirement retirement community and she drives a 2004 Buick Century with comfortable leather seats left the leather seats are comfortable but you know Bob to get a summer like this person. I mean there retired their generous there and living in the wonderful situation and then that we get to be blessed by momentous like I get no selective as to be part and this is just because God gave us the opportunity to help single moms and widows all over the place and you've done a really excellent job. You don't want to take any credit for that God has worked so well through you and with you and and what you have helped God facilitate is been a blessed somebody else talking to the other day since the menu was talking to them at their church and was talking about how somebody helped him fix the car and they were just going on and on and on about what a difference it made in their life and then a new sin you and and they found out that it was through the ministry that they had. She had received the help and it it just made such a difference in her life and when those close by stories, and ring a bell. It rings a lot clear Hackensack mean, how many times Bob has he come to our aid when we were completely clueless and like the exact example of you know he sent Sam and my life and I really had no way to know how to battle the fight that I was in but I've been duped and and and it was a matter of how are your enemies can be put to death if you don't go digging around and get Matt enemy back up to where Jesus can deal with. Pretty amazing stuff and it's just like he put me in your life are you in my life that perfect because all the things that were coming towards me and and I'm just a strong person from knowing you and been a part of this ministry and me as well is very fun were so glad you were brave because your listing praying and helping out with some of the ways of the show we are so grateful for you and you know is your drive around if you come across this Marvin.
The merger situation.
You can test out your new technology and and feel free to make the world your dance floor have some fun see what really do when you let the pressure off so remember slowdown everywhere he went on longer than 33 years.
Thank you brother.
Great to be here today. Blessed
