Good Deal — Bad Deal

This is the Truth Network are radio show. The paddle ball talking good deal Brad do today on the Christian car guys should arrive. Good deal. Badillo.

That seems like a perfect topic for Christian Car Guyes shows so the beginning you might heard that famous show. Let's make a deal. You thought about it but all through your life. Whether you do or not you been making deals. You may build with your parents when you go to bed you made deals. You know about what you're going to get if you got good grades in school, you have been making deals all your life and hopefully like Lucille, they were good deals but sometimes like Michael Jackson pointed out and noticed he was wearing black when he cut that video sometimes are bad deals and you know sometimes are bad to the bone, maybe experienced that kind of deal. And then again man basically and with the good news and an there really is good news.

So today I am by myself. Actually it's just me, Robbie, and I am wanting to know where it were a live show and we watched a call in what was your best deal ever or you know the worst was the bad deal that you went for what was the good deal.

But you 14866 the number to call you and we got all kinds of lines open. We would live desperately need to hear from you. 866-348-7884 to try to dig into these were steel emperors and see what was if we can find a common denominator. Maybe the best deals with what's involved in those 866-348-7884 disorders that conjure up in your mind right. This is a live show. You know this is this is where we really one of the joys of the show would be to hear the stories and see if we can dig into him and find out your good deal your Badillo 866-348-7884 so about 1991, some consulting firms teaching car dealers across America.

They were God teaches how way that we can make three or taught three or four times as much on a car sale. As we were previously making in real numbers you know it. Back in those days a good cardio would be somewhere in the neighborhood $1800 profit for the dealer but they were promising if you could use this technique this magic that they had.

They were promising that you could make 1800 I mean that you can make 3540 $500 per car and course I was a general manager and my boss found out about this wonder, waking them out. Wonder scheme to make all this money so I got sent to that school so I can learn so when I look back on that adventure. You know I can kinda see some tact some tactics that this this people were teaching in order to accomplish the profit margin.

I think it's a good example of how to spot a very good deal from a very bad one is very similar tactics were used by the serpent to consummate what we would guess is the worst deal in history right. I mean, simply put, the serpent used half-truths, but even more revealing. Are you should say less revealing was the lack of light or the presence of God in me that strategy that we were taught those days was a leasing strategy where we were instructed to switch the people to payments and never ever never disclose the actual selling price of the vehicle so you're leasing a car you'd never tell them what the thing was he switching the payments in this way you could make all this much. I don't know if you've ever thought about it but Eve was never told what the price was going to be of her transaction there, you know, there was no full disclosure on the part of the serpent and so maybe there's some disclosure issues that we could we could glean today in our search for the best and worst deals I have.

Warren is in Charlotte.

I'm very excited here Warren story Warner on the Christian car guys show good morning Charlotte, North Carolina should say consider Charlotte, Tennessee and Charlotte, all the places great to have you here this morning. More what you got for well water.

The bill would God be with give me an opportunity that you live your life you make that good. The time so you know this to happen to you could all do this and that will happen as early delay deals all electric (there is anything worn opportunity came about without a college bad situation had a person want to go in my faith is not an upgrade to God I didn't know this person would not take my life that I will serve him in my life. Still giving God my life to God has been the ultimate that I've made the lesson alive that I'm glad that I did all my word worn out what happened to me when I make sure everybody's like me he was pointing a gun at your head and and I'm glad. Believe me that you're here to tell us about about what actually happened at that point. Well, actually played football and there have been personal care law And I will be where one of my friends was involved in the complication and play ball as well so nowhere will walk up and let it go that way so that between him and the first patient with Gemma for the gun and it was right in my face and let it lie.

Nothing to do all I can that barrel with Moscow got the gun away and ran and that you knows nothing to do but thank God because I'm not have to know that. Before that trigger cleaned up (David Baird, but also I put my life and it was only got a great that I'm here so just ask lots of questions that I have such a redemptive story of how God came at that. I'm kinda curious of you know I imagine you replayed that moment in your mind that many times, but how long was it from the point that you actually saw the barrel to where you prayed that prayer you think it felt like life you abolishing that light only screen that felt that way in my life without walls.

It was my daughter.

But what I want to get it and you know I hear church or not you remember the moment you gave your life and often confusing with baptism. One of the best and did not not there are no that was the moment in my life was it when I was back going to that moment on that campus that got time. It's like this is real life, real death yeah and you know that I think what really stands out more than anything we ask God being people played quickly and sometimes they don't come in sizes we like. Sometimes there is no but I know that there was no one else on the note no. No one spent an error that was involved in that matter, could do anything you all that the most of that person, but I gave him my life to God. I believe that even then that I would've been a good hand by his grace and his mercy but he wanted that miracle you want to the person that other.

Therefore, we are best friends today like good friends all along that moment. So I live with that and I never have shared the people but not today. I'm sure the world is the only grace that we have just deal. Answer wow what a way to start my shift man thank you thank you thank you for sharing that with us today Leslie I hope you have a great Saturday if you're listening and you just heard warns courage, why not step up and tell us your file 866-34-TRUTH 87884, these people are bad for you today on the Christian car guys show what was your best you ever what was your worst deal was.

I conjure up in your mind. I mean wow Warren's story sure has me thinking and I would love to hear yours. I really really would and I and I think there's lots of people that would like to hear it because we can learn from either 866-34-TRUTH 87884 is a number to call in and share 866-34-TRUTH we have Stephen is in Burlington, North Carolina Stephen, you're on the Christian car guys show good morning Robbie great deal. My greatest deal of salvation from the Lord Jesus Christ. Now in the second deal which is sound really crazy but about eight years ago my friend called me up and said baby lying in a pile of dirt in the Philippines and the mother is going to baby and abandoned by her next week for 15,000 pesos and I said tell the lady that I will buy the baby back items and come through with the money and she mother immediately thought. If you have the money I'll take it right now.I wired the money and I was on or about a six week old baby and she just turned eight. On November 5 I just I just start couple days ago and she's doing very well in the Philippines and she had living with my friend and I changed their lives are like so for a great deal. I I'm almost dumbfounded because you know I'm sure like me you hated to think what the other person had in mind within 15,000 pesos, but for those listed on the exchange rates how much money is $50.

Are you kidding know all my word how and and so you you got to see her in person I talked to her all the time you started and I got your name or because she didn't have a name at that time and which I don't want to disclose it to understand that is beautiful. I mean, that's a deal that is just that's out, that's just be on-call in its own me that your friend had the courage really to call you a reach out to you and and and make that that possible that's that and mind blowing and my friends mother a little bit older and she was sitting in this chair all the time and she would just have no purpose in life and that all the sudden baby was handed to her and she had a purpose in life and honestly a chance or luck to so it was like a win-win situation for all of us.

Oh my goodness, I would think in the end, and that just keeps going on for generations. I mean I assist you dedicated to the Lord in everything and go to a Christian school.

If you memorize scripture and a blessing really is beyond Stephen, thank you for calling Sharon that that's a deal that's in the wow well the first to just take my breath away people thank you Stephen God blessed.

So what is yours. We are very anxious to hear 866-34-TRUTH 87884 I know there's a lot of great great deals out and met all my goodness up there might be a bad one out there.

I would love to hear about it.

866-34-TRUTH 87884.

Well, as I was talking about this leasing strategy and inside this what is essentially for the customers a bad deal. You know, we were instructed as I talked about to never never disclose the selling price just like when you think about it you know Satan didn't give her full disclosure what she was gonna pay for that fruit that she ate and so I think from that.

When you begin to see things in at any kind of deal which are involved in and things begin to look a little bit confusing or dark or cloudy. And if you're being driven by self gratification, which is a big part of the deal when you're in a bad way. His self gratification is involved in that working to get to that number bit more in the show but is time to ask God one thing Adam didn't do, nor Eve is pray didn't say God is this a good deal and believe me when I tell you, like my friend Stephen just explained how he brought Jesus in and the incomes the searchlight so we have. Shelley is in Durham, North Carolina with a story to show share or trader on the Christian car guys show good morning that I get your name right) landline back.

Good deal. Bad deal today on the Christian car guys show we are here in years. And really, I just, blown away by all of it and in being by myself in the studio. I really need these stories and you're doing good.

Let's keep it up.

866 the number to call in and sharing upcoming lines for you. 866-348-7884 we have my friend Shay in Durham a really long time listener and I'm so grateful for you and for your your story but I did not know of the poverty that you grew up in and all that you know coming out of Korea. Can you give us a few more details of what that was lying going on the court that he divide that Hitler take advantage of blood there in order to survive.

And of course yeah I like one of the hands of the ducking justice is the one which is yeah I probably did not award it did not stand-alone and not having spent the night and did not have been sent the family need to cluster. I grew up my mother couldn't fall but sure exactly she had to admit to a change to others is nowhere to family estimate & asking may I fascinate likable incomes I could extend my upbringing. However, as I type it out again for becoming too young and God had opened the door, obviously into the document I and I never heard about God and the church.

I have never cheated bragging about how angry even to cognizable God that you open the door and yell when I had a chance to come here and creating life easier and then I forgot is "increase get the gospel – I thought I would try to get we faithfully get the chance. But if you put this here is where you currently know what you know when I can hear when Jesus in my life I I only headed for my education before the great nuclei because I can go this court because my mother can fully kill and I only ended up getting education that is the thing in my heart I like not having to get education as I wanted to let got ourselves a little like hiking pony in a crate the divine click on you that I could find anything that sense of a confident that I never got a clue to the inviting, to do I get education on joining Omaha, including Joni wanted to become a nurse. There was an excellent 20 ago and it threw down on the God has blessed me so many way that I only knew I was meaningless. God is calling from God of the only ended fear and honestly even got anything public you get driver drive to accident see a night when got really worried as North of the year by two different and the public money what God and then you talk. I didn't know what I even of my life was dead and my husband died of the hiking at the age of 58 in the league. He was over 30 years of marriage that he died suddenly of a heart wrenching even on my life and place it is the I in a closet through it, that through his will cause comfort to you. I'm glad you want to move for someone but that's where you can bid my people never look at the last one died in 1725 nation so when I had taken care patient. I will excellent college and are I see they have been by automated fabric of IPG but I don't think about that redemption.

I think about that – so what happens so just give me a sense of urgency, always shedding the Christ also got all I do not.

For example, an opportunity can next to the life I am you know way even when I have a Easton ministry. I will connect it to go to dictation cool HootSuite transport transferred to hospice care and not be a good relationship with them and I shared the gospel through the plan to cancel my giving your dad God given to me. Do you start going down when they share well, I've just as I listen to HAI. I can't help but think well God brought you to this country. Like you said presidentially. You got to know him and that brought also to lighten education and your life which now you returns to so many people that are really at a place of life and death and and you bring in light for them and hope of actually eternal future right II got a funny hearing when I have opportunity to say hello when you can't let you know what anything exciting and so easily I could circulate an innate I have is so greatly that how got a given that identity always become because of finding my identity as a charitable notice to hiking it today asking me because I might know what are you a Japanese or Chinese or what and always say I am a child of God I am a daily getting started, I started looking that I would repeat online I would explain to you why many doing many different needed conversation way to open door for me.

People asking you what you grubbing agent estate land. Let me show you I'm not and I would tell them you know I am not part of the Christ. Yeah I am.

I am so thinking pretty quickly proposed and we need to coming in how God is opening impoundment to do. We need to get education that I never thought I could.

I never had a chance to do a pallet in Korea Korea, Ali bin Dan Bybee I not try to connect the side because this time that my my heart like this I had reason to believe and so desperate. Yeah, that's kind of the story and it capture each of them. I hope you understand this, just standing that you Jay God bless you have a wonderful weekend.

I appreciate your counsel thank you thank I 866 the number for you to call in and share.

We would love to hear your story, 866-348-7884 and you know that the ideas what was the best deal you ever took maybe what was the worst deal he ever took in there something to be learned from from all these things and so you not to know if you've ever noticed this but I noticed it. Just this week for the first time that in Genesis 14 and of God.

In Genesis 13 said let there be light. You might remember that any but in Genesis 1.

Four and God saw the light and that was good. And that's the first time you see this word because in the Bible, which is the Hebrew word for goodness and so have you ever thought about that when God made the light. He said that was good.

Now when were Sharon good news it. It just kinda makes sense like what Jay was just explaining that often, what is good is light is is bringing light into a situation and bringing to where we can see what all is going on in again and fed them. Even at seeing all that was going on in that dealer are these people that were in these lease deals back in the day if they hated seeing what was really going on inside the deal with all the numbers and they were really paying way more than sticker price for the car that you know they would clearly is not stepped into that deal and so light which course Jesus said on the light of the world so it shouldn't be surprising to us, but when we bring goodness it's kind of a cool thing that that we are bringing light, so maybe you got a story like that. We would love to hear it. 866-34-TRUTH 87884 866-34-TRUTH. We got Donna and we need you have to ask this break 866-34-TRUTH 87884.

Give them an update on the Jesus later love the next segment lots of desperate needs there this time. So we got a lot to talk about the opacity of the day on the Christian Car Guy so good deal. Bad deal. The day the Christian Car Guy – if you will.

So I am sure like me here thrilled with all the good news of the people got a microphone and there there opportunity about the good deal that they had the deal that they had which was God the phenomenal deal that that we've heard from so many different folks. But we may have a different one.

We now have Donna is in yet, can fill North Carolina Donna you're on the Christian Car Guy show good morning, good morning. I really enjoy. Thank you me to try to make short time when I was working several years ago, Kmart.

I had a question manager, and you knew that I would. I was struggling financially and not have anything and enough credit card. My car was really torrid care… I got a one day in and alert the home park your car and I thought okay right now I know in part, when I get money. Okay, God, what are you going to give me a call or an silent and I thought oh I'm sorry. But about two weeks later I was limping along and working a night job, and he'd like to come in to help with inventory work and she came at me and I was telling a story. I needed a car right now. I really answer prayers she would help me to come our way out here glad she came back out and said that we've got a car and trying to and I just might come to market for little while were told to park my driveway not what you want for any if you want to get your how much you want a document now you don't understand if you want it, it's yours now.

Long story short, he and his wife got together and got it told him right then and there that that would give me the card it was 1987 Chrysler New Yorker with all the bells low miles and I think that car carry me a lot like a long time.

And God really blessed me with that.

It was really prepared. Why ever parked car you had them put the car in the driveway and just leave it there. Not really blessed me sitting here listening, the beautiful thing about the story she's never forgotten. You know it was like a way that you knew God's with you.

You know in in tough times in the little things like that. Yeah what I needed.

I've always had that much time becomes clear Christ, and when I needed a job. Now that and my get your benefits).

It was there at eight and met me that I ever say that and without really really does Donna think you God bless you for what a wonderful, wonderful story, and what a deal.

Let's make a deal you are okay. So my actually I got a deal that wanted to share that one of the deals that I made with God was the Jesus labor love like when I was coming back from an religious broadcasters convention a few years ago. My been 10 years ago I was praying along the way. Got I just feel like you want more from the show what you want in and while I was listening you know trying to hear from him I was had the radio on the Christian radio station and it was talking with this.

This group is been out of this men's group at and they were helping single moms and widows and and they would go out to their house and they would do that, thing and and and I just went on my goodness you this is what you want and you want us to have because I knew that all the most of the emails I get met, thing, or for single moms and widows. It didn't have anybody to help with her car. They know they had questions and stuff like that and so the deal. I actually made with God. As I said mama dominoes cannot call indiscriminately seen a car repair place to see if they help me with this. Not somebody I know because I know the along with it. That's what I don't know if they do, it was kind of my fleece like that. I know you're behind it. So I called it a Car Repair Pl. in Greenville, SC. I'd never dealt with before, but they'd heard of a Christian Car Guy show was talking to a gentleman. I said, would you consider opening up your shopping at one weekend month to help single moms and widows and he says all Robbie cannot give God was like okay deal is done and thus was born the Jesus labor love which today is you know I was thing about Donna's call. How many ladies I think I think were up to 1060 that we've had applied over the years the Jesus labor love and that was the moment for them where God showed up in their life in semi-different ways but along those lines, I would be remiss if I didn't tell you that just this morning as I was preparing for the show, you know, I had the lady there in Lexington, Kentucky, whose husband is waiting on a liver transplant and their car totally failed. We were hoping to get some donations that were in the Lexington area because she desperately needs a car but she was texting me that it was complete $3500 to get it fixed. So were to be praying by the way, if you go to Christian Car Guy.com you'll see there the Jesus labor love prayer requests because she's not the only one in others, other ladies similar to Donna situation. There are currently in need and there's financial needs and that there were meeting every single day due to your prayers and your gifts.

I don't know how to put it on and that is it. I just been blown away on how often I am just the middleman now. I should also mention because my producers were Sam, Robbie, I don't understand how a man got a baby for $350 well, the part that they had missed and I want to get Claire's beautiful story and if you didn't hear it. You go to Christian Car Guy.com and listen to the podcast of the whole show.

Just tell your phone you want to listen to Christian Car Guy podcast but what it happened actually was that he paid the $350 and it is friend there in the Philippines got the baby, you can and you can adopt a baby in the United States for thread and $50 what he was doing was actually putting up the money so that his friend could could actually end up with the baby in his friend's mother there in the Philippines. And so when he said he does so are a few days ago is that he actually traveled to the Philippines and had a chance to see her so me and help how beautiful analysts story and how about all these deals well one last thing I would leave you with is Proverbs 25, 27, which says it's not good to eat much honey for men or for men to search their own glory is not glory.

Now that little proverb really packs a punch. Because if you think about it. If you eat too much honey, you can end up with diabetes which is self gratification and if you'd self gratify your kidneys shut down in your Hyundai. Okay, that's what happens with diabetes by the same token, if you go searching for your glory not God's glory. Mother would when you're bringing light into a deal, whatever that looks like you know if you're bringing light like Jay does to your patients and your giving God the glory. Then it's a beautiful thing you're bringing life, but if you're doing it for your own glory. Wow, like diabetes, mandated, bringing your bringing darkness liked at least the only start doing that so as we go out there thinking good deal better deal.

We can look is there light in this deal, I seen everything clearly in my being grabbed into death by self gratification like Eve Eve was right reason she wanted that was self gratification.

So when you look inside a deal is this self gratification.

Now it if you talk about the lady that was get the car for free. Obviously she needed something to take care of her family thought to self gratification is so other words some point time to go take the oxygen mask and support yourself, you know, that's all part of God wants you to be okay if the top part of the bill fell upon the deal. So thank you so much for the amazing stories of the wonderful show today. As always, the listeners are the ones that that make all this happen and that self gratification things. The challenge for me and I would also counsel you slow down.

Jesus walked everywhere he went, got it all done 33 years. Thankfulness
