I know my Christian Car Guy radio show initiation Bible style initiation fee you know the truth on the Christian card. Looking back over a lifetime connected to the car business. Would you believe those words are actually life-giving. I mean just to tell the truth seems so simple, but can I share how the world complicates that for a young person going into, say, car sales or part sales arena service advisor even use part sales bomb. It's complicated and all of your so-called friends now just just picture your going into that field and all of your so-called friends, relatives, etc. what to say when you don't look, I'm going in the car sales well those people probably say I'll guess they'll teach you to be a liar and a course Hollywood bigots, but may get behind that with movies like you know used cars at an affinity saw that movie or Cadillac mannan TV commercials like Jell-O Zuzu it's all hilarious right oh, believe me. I laugh too. But there is no getting away from the curse is literally being spoken over you.
Years ago when I started this show whenever someone mentioned the name of the show they would say it isn't is not an oxymoron.
Christian Car Guy's works on seem to go together well that's what those are saying to you on the outside if you're that fledgling car person, but what are they teaching you there inside the car business. Well can I share that I know one of the first things I was taught and I went on to quote weekly and even daily and even I talked this concept myself I was training new people in and here's what we taught them. Buyers are liars is one of the basic principles taught everywhere.
Buyers are liars maybe heard it and here's how it's taught the guy you know you this is what the teaching car salesman on the guy who walks in and says I'm not buying a car today. That's the guy who's going to buy a car right on target buyers are liars. In the end the sales managers eat this into the sales people's heads, it's sales, it's really car sales 101, and I assure you it's repeated in most every showroom across the country at least once a week. So yes, it's pretty easy to see how fledgling our fledgling falls into this whole concept of liar and it's okay because the customers are lying to us right Menelik comes to the 40th person this week. Writer your this young car salesperson on the 40th person this week ask you, what's your best price and a course disc i.e. seen the same card be sold for 10 different prices in the last two months and so any knows or 10 different reasons that those people got 10 different prices. So what comes out of his mouth when he is asked that question may even surprise him. He's he's caught up.
There seems to be no way out. No way to tell the truth.
But there is and it actually came 2000 years ago in Bethlehem, which means house of bread because he is the bread of life and he is the truth and those have a connection I want to get to today and I have an opportunity. I have is chemical what what I got to do this week Bob as I was a friend of mine is a pastor. Peace church in Germany asked me if I could do the sermon leading up to the communion on December 4, there and so I started thinking through communion and study and that and as I did. I started to see something unveiling. I connected a whole bunch of dots and I'm hoping you'll stay with me here because I want to go through this just briefly you can get, where am I going to show today and you can kinda call in with your idea for me so you may remember that Jesus went after he had fed the 5000 made the statement that eating his flesh and drinking his blood would be something that all of us would do in a corner separated the men from the boys right I mean a lot of them left right then, but the Scriptures are filled with this idea of eating words right Ezekiel and Jeremiah.
They got to eat a scroll, as did John in Revelation Deuteronomy 8, if you ever thought about this way but is you know when they were starting the desert, he humbled you and let you go hungry and you fed you with manna which you had never known that your fathers ever known, so that he might make you know that man lives, not by bread alone write this what Jesus quoted in the desert right but man lives.
From everything that proceeds out of the mouth of Jehovah right. Psalm 119 13. How sweet are your words my taste sweeter than honey in my mouth. First Timothy four says if you leave these things before the brothers you'll get a good minister of Jesus Christ being nourished with the words of faith Hebrews 65 I tasted the word of God and the powers of the age to come by minutes all through the Scriptures it it's it's all there. So how did we get into this whole lying mess to begin with.
It was actually if you think about Jim Bob.
It was our ancestors bad eating habits right they ate the forbidden fruit. So here's where I connected a few more dots this week. In reality, Eve ate some bad fruit. The moment she bought into Satan's innuendo that God was holding out on her right. She was saying all gods are liars. That's what Satan was telling her and I wonder if you would agree with me that as the father of lies told her, surely you won't die only by her belief having eaten. Satan's words right. She ate those words before she ever ate the fruit she bought this concept that God was holding out on her and that was a lie. So now it's get back to our fledgling car person real estate person or whoever. What happens when you eat the bad fruit right if you buy into that buyers are liars or car salespeople are liars or politicians are liars or lawyers are liars. What are you telling me are you telling me really that those people are made in Satan's image.
Now that's a lie. I spit it out.
It's bad fruit, spit it out. It's bad, it's not true. This is not true and if you buy it.
Not only are you are you speaking that over these people.
But in a way it's a self-fulfilling philosophy. I mean, you begin to speak that into people's lives and what kind of fruit or you're going to eat when you when you're eating bad fruit. So go back to Adam and Eve permanent here.
What happened after the ate the lies. What happened. Remember what Adam said to God when he found a minute in the garden. He said I was afraid because I was naked so I hid right.
He ate the bad fruit and what happened became aware right and he that he was naked and so we had to hide and so guess what when you're out there on the car lot with that young salesperson and maybe up persons never bought a car before both people feel naked so they hide and how do they hide bite.
I'm not Monica yet by whatever it is they say that may be not been completely out, but what is it that we are Christians are supposed to have grace right.
The answer is we need close and those close just like for Adam and Eve are washed in the blood.
In our case, in the blood of Jesus Christ, so we don't feel naked and we start blaming everybody for everything. I mean here is our chances Christians right to stand for the truth to understand what the truth is in the show favor and grace for those people writing and realize that they're just simply hiding and how can we help that person, point them to what is the truth. So here's my challenge that I get done what I told you about is now do a bit of a monologue which is unusual for me, but is only granted to get this out there because when I want to do today is spit out some bad fruit that you might've eaten is essentially when you make those agreements with Satan you are you are planning bad seeds and so what's bad fruit is in your industry. Maybe you know I'm just telling you I was in the car business a long time and I didn't even realize until I began writing this this morning and working on this process the bad fruit that I'd eaten over the years and I when I needed to spit out because I've made these agreements for the father lies and I know the lies I know their lives. What lies have you bought 866-348-7884. Maybe you think I'm all wet begin call and tell me that to whatever 866-348-7884. Call in and share what lie would you like to spit out that all so-and-so's are such and such. What is what is that Collison share with us. We've also got a Jesus later love update I gotta tell you about our Windows dilemma this and saw you from believing what Godzilla got an appraisal by the real black book that's come up about a salesman is spit out a lie. You love it so much more efficient heart.
I show my words tell the truth today as well, I'm robbing him or your you have with this. Our Christian junker God from 109 you pull it and most of all, were glad we have you listening today and we would love to hear the lie that you feel like you would like to spit out or one that you may be inferred over the years in your industry, whatever that may be 866-34-TRUTH 87884 866-34-TRUTH Bob, is there some like that in your life where you have got my brain � were really relevant here. There's a lot of opportunity in these parts business to be deceptive and and the missed testing of others, you know, one of the biggest lies in our industry is that the my might have them might miss really represent the mileage on an engine and site finish this. Is this something that that happens a lot and to maintain integrity. You know when you might could this say it has less miles than it does and it's just a really, really real big opportunity to increase profits by telling a lie and I try to encourage everybody you know doesn't help maintain the integrity of our business and in some people don't mind the much higher mouse that if they can like come here. The engine that transmissions are that if he is thing and an outlet and there's other areas where on people are returning staff to we automatically get suspicious thing. They opened it. I think at the Getty out of it and and they're bringing it back are they just found it cheaper and we get suspicious right away and and it's not just some of the demons that we fight with and looking for those agreements and elimination.
It sure how that plays out for many know that we do the Jesus labor 11. I really do have a great update to share with you here in a minute but because I do a lot of interviews on the Jesus labor love. That's car repair labor for single moms widows and families in crisis. I have a chance to hear the story of a lot of the applicants and what's going on will many times as I listened to the story� It just happened once but several times that the lady telling me will begin to tell me how it is this car place fixed my car and they messed up my car and then I took it over this place and they messed up my car and they made my car worse and then I took it over this place, and after I hear about seven I'm telling you that there are people that have like 10 or 15 stories along the same lines in each case ever took the car to anybody those people right. They messed up their car and and you can't help but see that it's to some extent they went in there expecting that these people were to mess up their car and that was the bought lie that they bought at some level. At some point and so you know what they saw play out in front of their minds is is this judgment and egg to an extent they read they reap what they sow innovate babe. They bought that lie. They went in agreement. The God's heart is not good, meaning that the people's hearts not good because they represent God and and all these things happen as a result, and I would love to know your story along those lines, 866-348-7884 866-34-TRUTH we have Tracy's in Raleigh, North Carolina. She is a car question force Tracy you're on the Christian Car Guy sugar morning, good morning. I got a call, you could say out water to ally binder car radio 2014 located I am upside down about $8000. What do I want to get out the car with them having a hard time doing on but if I did not.
The call would it be update to add extra warranty protection on well there is a great I really appreciate you calling in and tell the truth.
By the way of of the situation. You know that that takes courage which we appreciate a lot, but so many people are in that situation. Tracy you would be shocked at how many in fact, that's a lot of reason I started this show was I sought every day people release bad situations like that and people keep trading them in the more cars and more cars in the keep upping the amount of negative equity, until he gets to like that so my answer is yeah one of the best ways to get out from underneath a bad situation like that is it. If it 72 payments or whatever and it's affordable at the end of that period of time. You will then have probably a very reliable carcass cars will go three or 400,000 miles or even 500,000 mile you probably have a very reliable car that you took care of and it will be paid for at, you know, it's just a matter of being patient and and and paying it out, but as to the warranty.
You know those things. I don't know that I am a big supporter of them because they simply are added to a form of insurance, and again it depends on your personal budget. If you can't afford to make the car payment and all you know, five years down the road if you're still paying on the card and also the need for major repair. You're not in a position to do that, you may consider a warranty but I would never consider one. That wasn't if it's a Ford focus. I would get a forewarning if it was a GM car I would get a GM warranty. I wouldn't binder the offbrand warranties because there's no dealer body to come back in and help you out, but I'm not even in most cases I don't recommend the warranties, but if your budget is so restricted to just wow.
I can make is my car payment, and I'm a be making this car payment for seven years and the cars can be awarded at some point in that. Yeah, you might want to consider bank banking final warranty but if the car will be paid out why the still under warranty and I would just start set aside money for maintenance and and and and and having that in your budget is, is ready to pay for but the easiest way if you can afford to make the payments to get out from being upside down is just simply to pay that car off and keep it. It will last answer question campaign.
Yeah, it God bless you, appreciate, and that's a common situation. It's tough Bob but you know God will I been upside down in the houses and whatever the way out is to you know pay your way out.
Sometimes patience and persistence right right well I do want to give you an update. Good news on the Jesus labor.
Love is we did the last couple weeks. Well have to do it after the break above the window that lost her husband two years ago the cars in Virginia with a blown engine. Now I've got a great update on that one and we have some more of these where you find allies in car sales where you by lies, car repair all those things, not just first car guys take a mind to tell the truth today and I bought into what would be the spit out and begin to asked Jesus to come in and fill that place in life is some truth decent people used to encourage Ila in analyzing what an effect that has been not give them a brother scrapper anything that they used to encourage meet the be deceptive when it come to know what we were going to tell mom and dad and I, was trained to be a liar at a very early age, and it became a got to the point where I had some real serious truth.
The initiation of wind when you're just condition. From an early age and my mom told me one time to send what is wrong with you. He says you tell a lie when the truth of the in your favor. My cousin you he just for Jane.
The last that and the and she didn't really realize and think back on it that and as her taste while we keep to Mountain Dew truth. Here's what were going to be that a little later in life we share data and had a really good laugh about it in and it was a problem for me at an early early age.
I mean it's something that we gotta it.
It's an interesting thing to think through and process what is it that's underneath this and when asked Jesus what why am I believing in you know you your friends are the best and smartest man in the lemming God of the universe.
You know, why not ask him to help you come out with those lies that you may have bought into. We have Deborah's in Seattle's got a used car question force Deborah you're on a Christian card I sugar morning.
I'm getting my brother on 1990: Kirk like a kitten and writer is telling a new car in the car and I can now I don't Christian card and truth or lie 1990 I could change your life.
Upon near the car.
Well, you know, that's it is a great point and there's nothing more valuable from God's point of view life. You know that's that serious stuff and you know I thought that 90 Toyotas had a pastor's driver side airbag.
Now it doesn't have a driver side airbag will not elect okay well then I think that's a legitimate reason to think through. Wow, if I get a newer car, they are safer there is no doubt they have a lot of safety didn't things that that that were involved in that and yeah that is a legitimate thing to pray through Deborah. I would say that if in any way shape or form. You do not feel like that Satan that could be God leading you to say it's time to get some will safer make sure you don't get one of the ones that needs airbag replaced, and it already because they have been in and they had a airbag recall going on right now, so make sure you diligent about that in which you go to our website and you can put in the number of any car they are rendered. Airbag recall and it will tell you if it's if it's one of those if you're looking at. One is a used car, but I like to question Deborah that's a great question and I do think that that that it may be God saying you you need to be safe all my thank you God bless this guy and I you might remember that we had Rachel. She was 86 when she started out her car had 400. Whatever thousand miles on it was 1966 Mercury and try remember what it was but in a clearly from a safety standpoint it didn't have a lot of features. It probably didn't even have decent shoulder harnesses, but the others are her choices and she lived at her life. She's going to be the Lord now in that car kept her safe. All those years of you know I can't speak to that. But if God put on your heart that you need a safer car. There is no doubt that they have made leaps and bounds safety wise, you know over the years of of those kind of things but again that's the cool thing about having the Savior that we have is we can go to him in prayer and I and I want to get to this window situation speak in a prayer because now every once in a while one of these applicants gets in here that comes through that really just touches my heart and and I just start praying God, what we can do what we do because we don't have all that many resources we talked about before you know lots of you been generous and I'm so thankful for the gifts that have come in when somebody comes in and they need a complete engine in their cars estate away and you know you're talking about thousands of dollars of repairs and all that so we have this one that we can talk about for three weeks and I was like Lord.
This latest she lost her husband two years ago and I just heard a story and and and you know when you're helping people. You get a sense of their heart to and it's it it's sometimes honestly Bob little bit harder to to help people that are really afraid in their really anxious, but this lady every time I talk to Robbie. Thank you thank you thank you I'm communicating guy up in Virginia that's got the car that hits. He's hanging onto it and I just know God's in the country and she was just this cannot tell you while we had found an engine at Bob's that had 213,000 miles over trying to figure out a way put to pay for that we are trying to find somebody that could put the engine in and it was kinda interesting how this week.
As I prayed even harder.
The Lord put some on my heart that I could do to actually help and so without getting into what I did.
I did that immediately. Almost immediately after I prayed and I did what God asked me to do in the door to swing wide open. She came up with my KR percent was something that came up that was gonna tow the car down from Virginia and then Bob got a different engine and only had 133,000 miles. Yet Bobby and I was a little concerned about. I'd even tell Terry please don't let's not use this engine for this health because that's just an extremely an extreme amount of miles on on an engine for that particular vehicle, and in some of the vehicles with 200,000 you don't blink, because they're just so solid that this is not one of days and I'd like Terry please this note with the bandit somewhere and and and it really surprise me that they found it at our place because in our first our first search did not just it was like boom boom boom Joe out of Nola are vanilla automotive in Greensboro. I just have to tell you I mean what amazing thing he occurs it may take a few weeks trying to do it, but he's going to put that engine and for that lady at no charge. Minutes from the stuff it all came in and God brought it together. Your gifts come in were so grateful for those and again.
It's the Jesus labor love 238*as a you are a lame in Winston-Salem, North Carolina ZIP Codes, 27107 always want to say that in case you want to mail any gift you can obviously give it our website Christian Car Guy.com as well as find out all about the Jesus labor love car repair labor for single moms widows and families in crisis.
There was another one this week I just got that it was a single mom really it.
2000 accurate and her church got involved. The repair center got involved in and you just want to cry.
Bobby just want to say look what God did in the midst of this crisis. And then he comes through in in both those cases is often the case, the recipient is like sin, it's Thanksgiving. And what a time to thank God because he is come through for me and God, came through in such a big way and I have no way to explain anybody. It was like to hear this lady's Thanksgiving for what God had done for him through this.
What these situations are sauce, it's that brother Mason. He can do it. It really is and sometimes honestly I have to spit out you know some of the lies that I am believing that although these can help you know I'm not to find anybody that is going to do this and also I don't try, you know, you did a whole show on that Bob that you know if you make an agreement that this is impossible within you.
You gonna struggle with that agreement but you know years ago somebody shared with me that Jesus said to the disciples. When he sucked told him to go get the donkey know the Lord has need of it.
That was all they had. They didn't know and they went to get a donkey.
It's like horse leave right and what are they secular Lord as leader. It was amazing how that's a key to the kingdom. When you go to people and say well I leave this the Lord has need of it. They'll give you document give you Cadillac. It's amazing sometimes with what God will do if you just trust with with what that is like a story of the other side of the cell to share about a salesman who believed a whole bunch of stuff we got I, and years of being seeped in some of these lies another things like that how can you help, the Lord asked the Lord for that voice of truth and speak it to me. Help me to drown out the lies and see what is actually the truth in a situation and we are sure that our appraisal by the real black book, but Bob, you got a big event is going on today. You want talk brothers, you know, it's that time a year and I know everybody's not North Carolina but if you happen to be in North Carolina today and it is that time a year and every year we have two events. We help out with a lot land in the past the years we been able to get it on TV, but with the political situation this year there was this not much TV available that the the Midway Christmas parade we do a food drive for the North Davidson fade, pantry, and we've already had some donors and we take up canned food items going down through the parade and we also take up some money and we found a corporate sponsor this year for every dollar that's given today going through the parade we found the Corporation to sponsor a match.
They're going to match every dollar we take it and so were really hoping to have a good response and also would like to mention the Lions Club in Thomasville will be sponsoring helping out with the embers Christmas challenges. By the way, awesome, awesome grandma generally convection -90 3 o'clock. I should've gotten information little better will put something on the website here that it is that the embers definitely worth going to, by all means plus support and good cause well moving on to our appraisal by the real black book that's were we search the Bible for hidden treasure. Cry out for discernment, lift up your voice for understanding, well this is one of those stories that I as Sherry so often because I just feel like it has so much and I got taught me God taught me so much through it, but you know sometimes we believe really subtle lies are being told to us. We got this personally worked with for years and years and years and that person never wants you know the Bly that I bought into. In this particular case is you know is really a hard guy in a car salesman for over 50 years and I just believe there is no way that he would ever listen to me talk about Jesus. I just bought that lie that this guy was too hardy was it just and I had known him for years and admired him and knew him to be an honest person for you know a good from a standpoint of lotteries as he was good but I also knew he did not have any understanding of Jesus or have a relationship with them in every way, so I've been trying to figure out for years exactly how to approach that wealth he didn't realize how thirsty he was a didn't within one day he came in to my office and knocked on the door surrounding need to talk to. You must was very very busy were building new building at the time and you know what that's like Bob and he says Robbie I have pancreatic cancer and see I am a cancer survivor. You made her that my own story and I was like well, Johnny.
I'll pray for you. It was my golden opportunity to witness to Johnny and I totally blew it because I was in such a hurry but I said it was his moment where he really wanted to talk about things of eternity, but I was in a hurry and I didn't say anything about a week later, actually two weeks later I got a call from his wife that Sunday night that he was in intensive care.
They didn't think he was can make it through the night. When I please come so I come down there and shortly after I get there. The doctor comes in the room and says you know should he probably doesn't have an hour or so to live. Who do you want to come in there with you asking his wife across his brothers and sisters to please him all his life, his wife turns mentioned she says I want Robbie to come in there because he'll and I'm like oh my word. I don't deserve you know because I had a chance. I never had a dream that Johnny would've gone downhill so fast that it so I went in there and I prayed with him and when we came back out.
I said Gerald I said to his wife to know is there any way that Johnny knew Jesus. Maybe I just misunderstood the she goes.
Robbie, I don't know, and his best friend was there. Bruce Rollins and I asked Bruce to Johnny know Jesus and persons. I don't think so. He he he got in a fight with the pastor at another church. Years ago, and I've never eaten. You need anyone ever talk about silencing a real dilemma and he was in a coma and it wasn't long.
Another Dr. Sibley is not Megan is not to make it well. He did make it through the night and that morning I went out and I began to pray my car and ice actually kinda made a deal with God. I said, I don't know what I've been in a I totally blown it. I know now I had a chance to share Jesus with this man but I didn't. If there's any way that you would spare his life. I promise I'll introduce into your getting to know you better. Whatever minute so some seeds in a man's life while that was the first day and the doctors came in and said well I think he's he's is really gone, you may consider pulling the plug.
I was like, don't pull the plug. Don't pull the plug please� I thought, God, do some this went on for three days or actually a total of four days that he was in this, like situation and on the fourth day he sits up in the bed. Bob like you're looking at me right now. I mean he just sits up and he's like what's going on and he was totally it was like he been in a coma for four days. Whatever he does, sits up in the bed and is like what's going on and and I'm sitting there and I'm like oh my word you know what am I gonna do now actually went back out and pray to get you. You obviously did your part of this work.
What's my part and I said what my skin. Now what do I say to him. How do I do this as I was. And God told me Robbie Johnny is a car salesman and that was all he needed to tell me because I knew something inherently to a car salesman. We have other things that we buy into. But one thing what we we definitely believe is a deal is a deal and so I go into Johnny and I said Johnny I made a deal with God and he was looked at me in the soul of David County, stubborn way that he would look at what kind of deal did you make with God. Robbie well said if he would give you some more time that I would share Jesus with an Johnny looked up meaning as well you better get to and so I started taking Johnny through the book of John and every day I go to his hospital room. Later, when he got out of the hospital he went home, started coming to his house and I'm going to the job at gospel John and I'm doing all that I am statements. I am the bread of life like we talked about today I'm the truth you know we did. We did these and we get to Lazarus resident unit being raised from the dead. That's where Jesus says I am the resurrection week we talked about it that day and I went on home. I didn't think anything more about it when I came back to Johnny's house. That next morning there were cars everywhere and I thought oh you know when you see a punch clock on think of John is going out because there's always cars. But when I get there instead of whole families and their this good friend of mine happen to be the pastor of another church there was there, surprising and and and his name is Jimmy Lancaster and Jimmy says Johnny tell Robbie what's happening goes well when you left yesterday after you talked about Lazarus being, you know, in the grade 4 days. My sister came in and she handed me all these gator CDs and I stick the first one in there in the very first song that plays is four days late, but right on time and as I was listen to that song. I realized that I was in, for 40 and I came back out and he accepted Christ) and you cannot tell you he was a different man it and live it about three or four weeks after that. But if you would've known Johnny before and after it was it was miraculous.
I have some he wrote on that effect on faith and believe the Drew and what a change.
It made a note in my life and again that stories of Christian Car Guy.com as well as a lot of the stuff that we talked about today resources there. The Jesus labor love.
It's all their Christian Car Guy.com I hope you go there. We thank you for listed day we hope you'll spit out some bad fruit taken some truth and remember slowdown. Jesus walked everywhere he went and got all done in 33 years and Bob Hope you guys have a great parade. Everything will go as plain payment
