Christian Car Guy
All the way in Christian Car Guy radio show to see her nerves in season the birds told us about back in the 60s or perhaps better. The Bible told us long before that. But it's a bit hard for me to grasp if you ever read back it to three. From the standpoint of the vision.
Terry's and it goes on to say the vision will not Terry so I had a little bit of a conflict that I'll reverse it says for the vision is yet for an appointed time, but it at the end it will speak and it will not live though it Terry's wait for it because it surely will, it will not Terry so if you like me a little puzzled.
What is that mean it's gonna Terry but it's not Terry or William Col. in his commentary from the Christian in full armor gave me something to really just add some beauty to this verse. I don't think I'll ever forget it and think about all week. He said, is that as a herbs and flowers which sleep all winter and their roots underground. When the time of spring approaches presently they start forth out of their beds unperceived. Thus will the promise come in its season. If you grasp the reality that how many times now in your life the midst of difficult situations.
Did you perceive that nothing was happening but in its season right in its season.
Things happen and so to lose hope as it shows later in this verse is actually the fall victim to pride because the symptom of pride is that I am in a step into this and I'm have to do something. So what the prophet wrote after that actually laid me kind of little because here's a `for five and six it says but hold the proud his soul is not upright any but the just lot of people would read. That is the righteous shall live by faith. Indeed, because he transgresses by this wine. He is a proud man. He does not stay at home because he enlarges his desire as hell in his death and it and it he is like death and cannot be satisfied together to set himself the nation that he keeps up for himself all people will not always take up her proverb against him and taunting him brittle against him and say well to him who increases what he has not, how long and to him who loads him up with self, with many pledges will and not your creditors rise up suddenly and will they not awaken in the press you I sell at the say and I know so hard to follow but as you meditate on that is, essentially, this proud man is not willing to wait on God like I've my car is broke down and I got to do something right now because clearly God is not stepped in and fix this. So I need to get a new car from the pilot data in order to fix my situation. Or there may be other times that you just simply piled up your desire and you brought on this low that they're talking about, which is that and so when you look at that word well in the Old Testament. If you look at it from the Hebrew standpoint, it's like God. His left were Elvis has left the building. This is not a good thing when God departs from you. There and so in my own situation. I think especially of one my desire when I was back in the dealership and I was want the dealership to get bigger and I piled up that in order to get a new building and I piled up that in order to do this I fell victim to this wine of desire and as I piled up that stuff.
Boy was I set myself up to be somebody's booty because eventually the lender is the one who owns all the stuff and while and yeah this is the Christian partnerships.
If you're one of Robbie where you going where I'm going is in season. What is your expectation as far as car repairs and we been talking about this because popular mechanics has a chart which you'll find a Christian Car Guy.com as well as the rest of this article.
And what I've been talking about, but they show that the average new cars like $1400 to keep maintain for 25,000 miles by the time you get to a 200,000 mile car. They say that to drive 25,000 miles. Cost $5000 which that isn't even close to my personal experience or close to what the Bureau of statistics says that the average car that's over 10 years old. Cost $2352 to maintain other words, if you got the cars over 10 years old.
The Bureau of labor statistics is saying that your to spend 2003 and $52.
That number become significant if you're really planning ahead to say okay if I'm in a keep this car. I'm really glad I don't have a car payment anymore, but it looks like you have to save about $200 a month for maintenance no reason why I want to discuss that on today show as I would really love of you listening right now if I lost and I hope I haven't, how much do you spend, how many miles are on your car. We just love to hear and I always love to hear how people are out there with 40,000 miles on it. 500,000 some of you got just cracked 200,000. If you distract 100,000. I would love to hear about it.
We love free to call him it's a live show 866-34-TRUTH 87884 is a number to call in and share this information but 866-34-TRUTH and what we'd like to know is he okay how many miles run your car and how much do you think your spending a year and and keep in mind that okay will at some point in time as you can put 250,000 miles on a car with an automatic transmission. You're probably a new transmission is probably to be in the neighborhood of $3000 origin to keep the car for 400,000 miles.
At some point you might have to put valves in the engine. We might even need to rebuild the engine and so that might cost you for $5000, but those are the numbers I'm really interested. What is your experience, 866-348-7884 and along these lines, in season, and that we have our Christian insurance guy Bill Mixon is with us.
He's been studying up on some of this this week looking at it from his perspective when it comes to pride and debt and bill you have a different angle. UK met with pride and debt than the one of and I will not wait on my season.
My flowers aren't coming up. You all talked about some good provided pride in others. Pride and others accomplishments pride in God. The second Corinthians 512 and seven Ford 824 and in Galatians, he said, each one should test their own actions, then they can take pride in themselves alone without comparing themselves to others, but most of the Old Testament and the New Testament that talks about God that is a dangerous thing that out of the seven deadly sins. It's the first and the one that causes the the other sins to come about and that we've got to be careful about looking at what we accomplish in giving our self credit instead of remembering that all good gifts come from God said that in most cases the concept of pride can be dangerous.
It can cloud our vision.
It can think that we can accomplish something and yet I've got friends with teenagers and and young people in their 20s and I think back in my years that they had you had this feeling.
You could walk between raindrops and that the problems that everybody else experienced. You just were too smart to let those things catch up with you and you get into the concept.
The insured you've got to have you got to be prepared for the worst.
You got to save money. A lot of the things where you get into debt. The reason that you got into debt was that you want saving money all along said that you had that special amount of money set aside to take care of those problems come. God doesn't promise that we are going to have problems. It just comes with breathing that certain things are occur and happen to all of this, but the one family that spends less money than they make each month and has a nest egg. Set aside for emergencies.
They may only save $25 a week more than the next family make in the same amount of money, but if they ended two years. One of's got plenty of money to take care the transmission that quits working in the other families in debt. They don't have the money to solve the problems that come up to. I know in my life. The been situations where some debt is good one to live in a house living in a home is less expensive than renting. And I couldn't of all the home.
I had if I hadn't gone into some reasonable debt.
I had to borrow some money to start my business, but in all the cases that I've ever borrowed money I paid it off just as fast as I could and I got rid of the shackles that would've held me back. Alright, so pride and that and how many miles are on your car 866-34-TRUTH 87884 866-34-TRUTH call and share all in the topic today. I'm a Christian car guy show essentially it has to do with pride and that in the reason that is I can never let go of what God originally asked me to start doing the Christian partnership that night in prayer the very year I was still operating the dealership and 2006, God came to me in prayer and so I want to get on the radio and talk about what breaks your heart every day and he knew that what broke my heart every day was watching people go from a $450 month car payment into a $550 a month car payment, or sometimes even as horrible as a $700 a month car payment, but I can see the rest of their credit load was just phenomenal, and they were rolling tremendous amounts of debts into these car loans in the remake of issued monthly payments on to get a cochlear trading in a car that was perfectly good. That would've gone another 200,000 miles and yet they were piling this debt upon themselves for different reasons that essentially we're talking about the root of not trusting God in season or thinking that I need to provide some type of image of this card is who I am. Robbie had with their neighbors and their family know that they were successful. If they buy that new car and go into deep debt so I you know I just wanted to ask him these questions today. I would love to know how many miles are on your car and what kind of average because I don't trust. Actually the statistics I'm reading out there on how much it actually costs per year in maintenance because it's not my personal experience I don't know of anybody but have the kind of experience I certainly would disagree with what it's on the page of popular mechanics on how much it is $5000 every 25,000 miles for car that has hundred 75,000 miles on it seems crazy to me so I have Vicki in Watertown, North Carolina, and we love your call 866-348-7884 miles run your car what you experience on maintenance Vicki year-round over 43,001 for other like you get the catalytic converter replay, like $1200.
The man like a year and 1/2 ago I had gasket replacement order. Probably not $1500 every year nonreactive after pay for oil changes. Now that my cardholder had you have to get it burning more oil data getting on an oil change every 5000 miles.
I have to get it every 3000 miles so I'm having a thin long oil changes and you know course. She had a big thank you have to do the like them when you call it the main content. When you do the timing belt 30,000 is insanity right right and ran like between 500 $700 when you get that. How does your car. Vicki went down in 18 so we got a city thinking years old in August that I bought it on my birthday today that I am so grateful that you called consistency perfectly. This is a perfect study right here. Here we have what I think most people consider a very reliable car, a Honda Civic, it's a 2000 everywhere at given I now put a lot of miles on the drive though I did love driving a car, no mistake, that is, that is really fun so we got is a 2002 16-year-old car has 200 and how many 60 culvert will change last week with over 243 well at 243,000 miles and sounds like there's some years you had a like a big huge $1500 repair like a gasket.
Another years he had the 12 big huge $1200 repair with the athletic converter and and you're probably doing one of those big services. The cost you $500 every couple years so in the oil changes in the tires that $2000 a year is probably pretty close, lack but it sure beats. How much did you originally borrow the money to buy the car well. My grandpa died so I only had a light out borrow 7001 of you and you only have like a couple hundred dollars a month car payment. If that and see you know so it's it's a wonderful thing to see that that obviously there some years you been able to drive your car for including maintenance and no less than $125 a month car mileage so now I am in car and it's really cool to me and and if you named it Vicki my car. I said that even I am what I I am just great, but there you go like that. That's really Vicki God bless you, thank you for calling that's wonderful. In our study today and I'm hoping other people have the courage call and ensure their core right thinking that way yourself. I did I'm really glad you called height. Alright, 866-348-7884 is a number to call in and share how many miles are on your car what you think you're spending on it, which is trying to get an average to get people an idea you know what it what are they looking at the kind of car they have. How many miles I love these cars have a lot of miles but hey if you got hundred and 50,000 miles on it are no I been a come accustomed lately to these cars that likely had a person donate a car to the Jesus labor Levinson Toyota it's over 25 years old and only has 40,000 MM's really cool car so check provide out. Maybe they got in there now fighting out of we would love your ear, your call 866-348-7884 866-34-TRUTH to assist in this today.
Argo still, what season are you on in your car were trying to determine what are the average maintenance cost for folks out there for real. We can see the statistics but I don't think with their shown popular mechanics is accurate. So we would love to know how much do you spend how old your car only miles on it. We would we're doing some research here, 866-348-7884 866-34-TRUTH.
We got Jeremy is in Salt Lake City, Utah Jeremy are on the Christian card I show good morning good morning so Jeremy, what you got all your gold 19 years old now, about 5000 Dollars State Dr. and everything will work, but will probably around $1200 a year old truck depot. Wow, others are like dry day.
BMW L bought it last year we only had about $2000 on it all quite early to maintain yearly, probably around $600 a year.
See that's what I was, that's what I was thinking when you named either those current Jeremy love the big drug agreement be dug like a freight that's awesome Jeremy. God bless your patient that's really helpful because that's that's kinda what I'm thinking that those numbers are high, so you and I don't know if they may be tainted by some. He wants people to go out there and buy new cars or not, but some we need to check into.

I've been driving that car for 19 years now and the truck and it recoiled so yeah I'm I'm I'm right alongside you, but I got asked for this cars have names well� It is great or grainy or just on radio outlet on everybody and their brother for the biotic car club that I felt like a part of your body pushing me to get a new card you get a new card.

Thank alright we have Tammy is in Farmington, North Carolina Tammy run a Christian card I show good morning I am wonderful and I'm excited about your call alright and old Betsy's just a name on the same light out on door. The following is a lot of miles on it.
I did not start out hundred dollars. I bought it and $800 I get one part because it had a warrant down light brown. Highlight and at one see you mean about but I'm listening carefully. I'm hearing Betsy say change my oil.
There's a lot of places out there. Their ideas were so oil change is actually the loss leader in an attempt to get you to spend a lot of money on your garbage muzzle take advantage of it like it in your area.
I think there's an NTB that they change the oil for like $21 or $22 and they change the filter in the oil in a way to go. Now you now you gotta be strong with them because her to try to sell you ball joints and who knows what off-road Betsy but you say hey I came in the change oil by your car, got more trouble than you thought. When you got all but fallen apart when you get that is that you know that is the strategy that's whining Sony will changes for $21. Is there really hope to spend more in repairs, but often is not a bad thing when they say here's some of the stuff you're looking at an end. And actually, I would kinda milk it. Tammy, I would say you know here I am. I'm on a fixed income. You know you can help help the lady out in and in and tell me you know just what the bottom dollar you'd need to fix those breaks or whatever it is that they say and that but don't don't fall for you know just going there because Betsy she needs an oil change, damage to the water and water it out live your I don't know what I would date Todd Litman your site and every day outlet for me.
I wanted to add that not know that that's not what the collar about that when I love your channel your rationale and the inspiring here. I went fine for me. I know because I'm alone in the world and and I don't know what I would do without it. On the day you write like Tammy you are a blessing. Can I pray for you real quick, Lord Vietnam anti-community, thank you for Tammy and listeners like out there like her out there all over the place that you have blessed us with the honor to be able to talk with every week and and I just ask your blessing on her. I bless ask your blessing on Betsy that she'll hang on a jug of water. I just ask that you would meet her needs in her life and continue to help her really feel that your meeting at bigger needed spiritual touch as it comes through the airways, and more importantly as it comes from you and I thank you for the chance to talk with her today in Jesus night amen thank you Tammy is also my wife's name is and I did you know my wife's name Tammy North Carolina I am. I'm pretty I I am not a preacher. Okay, I have a few radio shows and I I quite often get opportunities to preach the cross. To date, and I'll keep you up-to-date on that but kindly for alright, let's get you to� Well, I bless you.
Alright well and for said just drop please. I hope she'll call back 866-34-TRUTH 87884. We need to hear your car company miles, 866-348-7884 dear is going around and around and tilting a little bit and it creates seasons and as it turns it's going to come around right after I we know that Jesus come back right. We know that that things that's God's gonna do things and season that it cannot be unbelievable what were trying to figure out today on a Christian card � I was in the seasons of car ownership as those cars get older. How much does it really cost to continue to maintain it. Our experience and nobody that's called in so far as experiences anywhere close to the $5000 for those 25,000 mark per 25,000 miles over there saying a popular mechanics of the car with over hundred and 75,000 miles will cost you a $5000 every 25,000 miles makes a big difference in whether you did all the things you were supposed to.
There's no doubt about how many people does go in and do all the things are supposed to and then it hit some later in the annual Bureau statistics of the United States government is saying is $2352 every year for Carver 10 years old. What do you say were asking 866-34-TRUTH 87884 we have a very patient Lisa in Richmond police again. I hung up on you. I'm so sorry thank you for calling back there to get back at reminder you get a second opinion, go to get that little thing and they cannot make the XYZ right. It is like a thank you to think of the oil paint know why. There, because we had an old minivan that they said and did not need to be paying an we reset all the way to get a second opinion and we gave my brother he drug her five year minivan was done with it. Just like we go that year with accounting Chrysler diff like that. The little gold ring. Tammy don't forget the.
He will reveal what we need to know when it comes to doing business with the mechanic because when I had a Fiero in the early 90 mechanic who master cylinder and different car for me for my big black and I came back to that crown and it was a Fiero and everything I went in there was always something wrong and was immediately knelt down and looked over. It was like the thinking and bladder part.
I never liked him again. Harold never had another problem never and know and I do thank you. We have to remember that the Lord will need a I that's a great word Lisa, I completely.
That's why does that and and and and also note census to the other people for that second opinion and those kind of things so how about your car now. I love the fact Fiero in fact have a friend he's probably right hand on Robbie. She is if he or she had a fear if those were greatly hard for Howard over 12 years old.
Right now we note that the call about the card that we the 2004 444 or by all and end is BMW finite and another one of the BMW that 12 years old and the most effective thing with my the other one that nobody drive funny one telecom Celica 300,000 mile but it doesn't always start in the rain, so when my one thing with using it at school or college like I had to meet at the mall and had like an electrical problem that I'm here to tell you that when you do, and the tire and we found Steve, I was in line find one at Walmart you write the ending treatment you can put in the I'm kind to me like there was broken all the foam the bottle that had a little like I'm not putting my back looking bottle like you like that are part of them and anyone driving a car with over hundred thousand mile need to do a play I were not endorsed to do this product that people but it is that's that's good to know. So your estimated cost on all those cars, obviously that's that's really good information. How much would you say you spend per year, almost 8500 I don't.
The only problem we had with the Ford Explorer would find the spark plug like the brain to brainstorm and it was the spark plug wire right and so that was more problem I'm doing figuring out that we are nowhere near what $300 year or so. Yeah, six, seven, $800. This is kind of yeah a lot of functioning there will God bless you Lisa, thank you for listening and thank you for calling in the day your car here. I got continue to collect three and all the different areas that we hire area because you celebrate you dry and not defined by my card out a new vehicle.
Keep going to take care of him.
I just give a good figuring thank you so much like think I'm so glad you called back.
Please have Terry is in Greensboro but having a longtime terrier on the Christian card. I shall tell us about your cars order so store-bought laid out the record microstructures and always available for man anabolic airport reports on extended Rare to find you thought that traded last year. Well, actually didn't really like to model a reasonably cultlike family all backed up to start out with the goblet it will play well up all the little girl that they took a picture of the odometer when it turned 200,000 and then up holdover you know. Years later, when it turned 300,000 pullover figures. Later we returned 400,000 and I'm talking original motor was the second owner and another day I go to my friend at 416,000 miles on it and file port for Triton engine which was you know today sure that others in my years that are over 500 but today you got a much you spent on this to get to 400,000.
Well I don't know what you're appalled at exactly but the only major expense. The anti-cracked once and you will break this part will all know about the job it is and you know will never again you know, especially not up to Albert Dalton talk about but that was frantically trying where you poor old French laws and so the girl told her sometimes only five, $600.
You might tell my son works for California with a new body shop came out years ago I hated it like you and I know I have run out of time now, but God bless you. We start to show.
Thank you. We got to get Jenny real quick, Jenny. Are you still with us. How many miles what's in a car.
I referred rightful ruler, my God, or you got a sacred company miles from Lima 200 and we got a run that yells a list of the Christian card. Remember slowdown. Jesus walked everywhere he went, got it all done.
33 amen
