She things I still cars. Why she so prideful right she think she's better than the poor guy you know she thinks he still scars well today show the heinous sin of pride. What's an antidote right like me may struggle with that. Time after time when I personally look into that struggle.

The struggle I have with relationship after relationship, often at the heart of each of those is that heinous in its pride right. I feel like when I'm praying to God is like back again.

Robbie, are we here again so really about this from our car guy standpoint. Pride leads to road rage. It leads to struggles in the service department that God is trying to fix your car, it leads to struggles with car salesman struggles almost anywhere you look so a solution to pride when that be huge.

We would love to hear your antidote. Call us today, 86634878842 got an antidote for pride.

I know one person mainly me and certainly use that, but I was wondering how God is come after that in your life. I would love to hear that story.

866-348-7884 866-34-TRUTH.

What a challenge right in Philippians 23 it says let nothing be done out of strife or vainglory but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than themselves. For me that's really tough to do really tough to do so I decided to look into my struggle with sort of the religious spirit is what I've heard it called and the yeast of the Pharisees, you might remember, Luke 1811 that Pharisees did by himself and prayed, God, I thank you that I'm not like all these other people robbers and evildoers of adulterers deeply don't change their oil people that don't pull off on the side of the road when the check in July with a limit low oil or the low oil pressure light comes on even like this tax collector Ryan so this all took me to Mark 814 where the sky or disciples had forgotten to bring the bread right and you might remember in that passage, Jesus says, nieces be carefully warned them. Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and of hair, so I thought well I'll start studying yeast which before get into this study. Again, if you have an antidote for pride real quick to call is 866-348-7884 866-34-TRUTH.

We would love to hear your antidote so I decided to study yeast in a study of yeast reveals some awesome stuff and I read a whole lot on that and this is sort of the Reader's Digest version of what I learned this week which many of you may know that yeast is a fungus that each sugar and in the minutes kind of eats sugar and it emits ethanol or alcohol and most tiny bubbles of alcohol make wine and beer and also bread rises as a result of those tiny bubbles. You may even know that the ethanol that your burning in your car every day now that you know you got the tent nestling that that comes from yeast. As you know it.

There's tons of yeast that they're using to make ethanol and the Jews have long taught the yeast puffs up his pride.

So every year at Passover, they spend a week getting ready all of all what they called Matt's or the leaven or the yeast in the house and they literally spent a week right before Passover. And that's the originals idea behind spring cleaning well look at the Pharisee that were to talk about. That was all puffed up. That was all. You know like I'm not one of these Porsche marks that doesn't change their oil. I'm not one of these people doesn't rotate the tires to check the tire pressure like the lady you think the man still scars right there all puffed up, but as I studied the effects of alcohol. I believe there's more to it. And there's so much more about fermentation, you know the Bible just loaded with stuff about fermentation, no alcohol, so it is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream. It comes through our intestines almost immediately and has a free prep class to the brain through what they call the blood brain brain barrier. It releases dopamine in our brains very quickly about. Listen to what psychology today has to say about dopamine. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that helps control the brain's reward and pleasure centers.

Dopamine also helps regulate movement and emotional responses, and enables us to not only see rewards, but to take action to move forward to them so dopamine in all those rocky fans out there that's all I on the prize right I the Tiger.

That's the guy who's got his focus on what it is that he's going after so with that idea of dopamine right. Think about that drunk flirting with all the women think he thinks he can fight everybody in the bar. Well, the yeast of the Pharisee has a similar set properties when you think about it. That Pharisee has designed a prize to but that prize in the case of the various Pharisee is his own kingdom not God's right there drunk. They have their eye on the wrong prize.

There they have this popped up a view of their own ability like guys ready to fight anybody in there drunk with power.

One day, all course in the yeast of Herod very similar right area that is eye on the prize.

He was drunk with civil power and puffed up with his eye on his own kingdom not God's mean you have to look at many politicians see that particular kind of drunk with power. So my real concern is media course mental man I'm puffed up with concerned about my own kingdom in a what I'm going after in the eye and pray like the public and Lord have mercy on me a sinner. Well, still thirsty for answers to pride which I very much I'm still right this minute. I proceeded with the story. Mark and I found some huge misunderstandings I had which I get to the second before it say that I want to remind you that your stories are what make the show. We would love for you to call in what's your antidote for pride. Personally I guess in Scripture, something that you hold onto 866-348-7884. We would love to hear your story across familiar to Jesus labor love in a few minutes, and by the way, if you're going, Robbie.

I'd I'd I'd love to see this all written out.

It's a Christian car guy.com write an antidote to pride is for is right there article I posted it today so Christian Car Guy.com it's all right there so getting back to Mark eight right. The Jesus said beware the Pharisees and out of the yeast of the Pharisees and of Herod. But then the disciples they discussed with one another set is because we don't have any bread.

Now you may might this moment be puffed up with pride and say sealers disciples. It is don't get it. Well, be careful though aware of their discussion. Jesus asked him why are you talking about having no bread, do you still not see or understand or your hearts hardened. Do you have eyes but failed to see the years but failed to hear and do you remember I mean don't you remember to listen closely.

Don't you remember when I broke five loaves for the 5000 only baskets and pieces did you pick up 12 they replied and when I broke the seven lows for the 4000 only basketful pieces did you pick up. They said seven he said to them, do you still not understand well.

Think about that a minute do you really understand that but I clearly read that and I was like no, I don't understand why 5000 or 12 baskets were left over wharf why 4007 baskets left over. I never really considered all the significance of those numbers are what does that mean exactly to if you allow me to go on and share some of that study. See once I agreed that I really didn't understand and I really didn't understand, and by the way, I studied it all bunch and I still don't think I fully understand and by any means, but I have some insights and want to share. I believe if we go back in the Scriptures we can unlock some of the mystery seat. The Torah or the Old Testament started with the Pentateuch write five books and it said by the way, 12 tribes, while five books from dry tribes. He fed 5012 basketful's left to go to break in and find out more about 4000 more about the seven but most importantly, what is your antidote for pride. That's where were all headed 866-34-TRUTH 87884 866-34-TRUTH as long as all you and I and I and Mike will the heinous sin of pride occurs pretty easy to see somebody who's drunk, but are you drunk on your own pride. That's kind of the question then we would love. I personally would absolutely love to hear your antidote for that type of pride your eye on your own kingdom your eye on some fries that you think is more important than God's kingdom.

866-34-TRUTH 878-848-6634 is where talk about Jesus describing the feeding of the 4000 and the 5000, and going back to what he had said. Do you understand he was asking the disciples after he told him about the yeast of the Pharisees and after the yeast of Herod. He said not understand.

I fed 5000 and how many baskets were left over and I said 12 and he said, and I fed 4000 and how many baskets were left over was seven and he asked him again. Do you understand well I had to admit it didn't so I put my mind to it isolate me see if I can understand what I what I found is really remarkable in my own life in my own prayer life now that I understand a little bit more about what was going on there. See, as we talked about right before the break.

There are five books in the Pentateuch, which most people call the unit back in the old days it was Old Testament, the Torah and it fed 12 tribes which was how many basketful's were left over. Well then right. Jesus fed the 4000 but what you wanted. Perhaps pay attention to is that was only a few days between when he fed the fourth of 5000 and he fed the 4000. If you look in Matthew, Mark, to give you big count.

But in Matthew 15 right after he feeds the 5000 and right before he feeds the 4000 is this little story where this Canaanite woman came to Jesus and asked her this sick to heal his daughter. Her daughter in Matthew 1526 says it's not good for the children's bread to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs and the woman replied yes it is. Even the dogs eat crumbs that fall from the Masters table so Jesus said to her, woman. You have great faith and that your request is granted, and her daughter was healed at that very moment. Well isn't it interesting that right after he fed the Jews, the five with the Torah in the 12 baskets left over, meaning that showbread there were 12 of the shewbread there. 12 tribes of Israel. I think it's pretty clear that that was a view of the Old Testament, but now here comes Jesus to share with the 4000. Right after the story about the Canaanite woman who by the way, was a gentle right so now he feeds right afterwards he feeds the 4000 now how many books start out the New Testament well. As for as the Gospels right there's four gospels and there are seven lows and seven basketful's left over which you know seven in the Bible is always a number of completeness, but it's really interesting to me that Jesus last word from across the seventh word from across was it is finished and so is like.

Jesus is showing us that here comes this new yeast right what is it have to do with battling pride door to get to that in a minute but more than that.

I would love to hear your solution. 866-34-TRUTH 87884 why have you ever considered and this is what I told you was going to do some for prayer life here if you ever considered that when Jesus gave us the Lord's prayer that we are actually when we get to the part where were asking for our daily bread were asking for Jesus right consider with me that Jesus is the bread of life. Jesus was born in Bethlehem right Beth meetinghouse of and let him meeting bread and follow along in John 632 Jesus said to them, very, very truly, I tell you it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my father who gives you the true bread from heaven for the bread of God is the brother comes down from heaven and gives life to the world and they said Sir always give us this bread.

And Jesus declared, I am the bread of life.

Whoever comes to me will never go hungry. And whoever believes in me will never go thirsty so as I began to really ponder this. How cool is that that we were doing the Lord's prayer and II guess I'm just dull that I never saw that before that inside the Lord's prayer. I'm asking for Jesus right because I'm saying give me this day my daily bread. But if we go back to the beginning of the Lord's prayer and was still working on our yeast understanding and the dopamine eye on the prize right lookout.

Jesus sets up the Lord's prayer our father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, there's the prize rather than think about Robbie's kingdom coming. What if we think about Jesus is coming and if we really have faith and we believe were praying that she would get the dopamine buzz of working on the God's kingdom.

I'm sure that you been on some mission trip. Or maybe shared Christ with somebody or even had a chance to teach somewhere and all the sudden you felt like man I fulfill your purpose here. Well, that's your dopamine right so like Ephesians 518 says don't get drunk on wine which leads to poetry. Instead, be filled with the spirit so consider that the feast of Pentecost. That's where they waived the leavened bread.

If you look at Leviticus 2316. I don't know if you knew this but they used unleavened bread for Passover, but it Pentecost to use leavened bread. So if you Leviticus 2316, 50 days up to the day after the seventh Sabbath and then present an offering of new grain to the Lord from where we live. Bring to lows made of 2/10 of an F of the finest flour baked with yeast right there in Leviticus 2316 it's baked with yeast is an offering of firstfruits to the war. Oh, if we can get our eyes on the right prize we get this leaven we get this feeling of the spirit and when your eyes are on that prizes a different kind of thing. It's a new leaven right the Holy Spirit take a look at Matthew 1333 rightness of Jesus against Peter told them still another parable. The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into about 60 pounds of flour until it worked all the way through the dough. Oh my goodness that's a lot of flour, a lot of though a lot of you come back more on battling with an antidote for pride. We love your story 866-34-TRUTH 87884 is all mine, and all our thanks.*You know it's kind of every arete, anybody the just judged you like that that you, like me, it's clear that there puffed up with pride and they think they're better than me in just it brings out something new that is in pretty you end up with the same prideful reaction in your next thing you know, drunk with pride and puffed up in sourcing due to that. How did you get through it what you do in order to overcome that feeling of I'm better than everybody else. 866-34-TRUTH 87884 866-34-TRUTH if you been listening to the last segments are not allowed either. That's a lot I would really like to see that all written down.

It's a Christian car guy.com I wrote down everything that I'm sharing with you today.

All the Scripture references and all the things that God gave me this week on this concept of our daily bread essentially is where it gets to is that we are set up in the Lord's prayer to set our eyes on the right prize rather than being our kingdom, which is where pride takes us if we go to God's kingdom that this a whole different situation in order to get there is going to take some daily bread which is Jesus. And so we wait, what I just described some of the ways that we see Jesus in the Scriptures is described as bread so as we come back to our Lord's prayer our father art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Again, I am apprised that I will be done on earth as it is in heaven give us this day our daily bread. Well, that's the unique new yeast that we are talk about the new way that the Holy Spirit is coming. I like to see the kingdom is God's kingdom where each individual everybody that you see reflects a unique aspect of God's glory. If you can see that if you can see that each individual right.

God made him in his image, and there a huge value to the kingdom I could get my prize right and get my dopamine working on that reward because I don't have to concern myself with competing, as I I know that God gave me a unique unique way to reflect God, but also when I look at it.

Anybody else the guy that just cut me off in traffic.

This has a lot to do with Trowbridge. Believe me, I struggle here I that this got me off the driver to the one that really drives me crazy is is when you know that's going down to one lane in the one lane says it is going to end a mile a day ahead and everybody gets in the other lane to try to beat the traffic and then Marvin, the merger comes in right in front of you after you've waited two hours in the other lane while that guy. He reflects God in a very unique way. And if you are really to get to know him begin to see God's glory. You would be shocked right the Time Warner lady who just took an hour of your time is driving you crazy, she reflects God if I can call that out in her you see the kingdom is coming and I can only do that with my daily bread. It's the only chance I have to overcome pride see Jesus, the bread of life is the way to the father who want Pentecost sent the Holy Spirit right through the Holy Spirit.

I can see the Scriptures. I can see Jesus sacrifice for me that blood that cleanses me from all unrighteousness. Yes, even pride and allows me to have God as my father. The kingdom is coming as a son right and if I can see it as the sun is an adopted son that I can realize it. Hate everybody else is also a son like a prince and a king God adopted all them to have bill if they'll accept his son what happened and then we get a chance to see that glory. This, in every single individual that comes into the kingdom. See, I've begun to understand a little bit more this from my head. But what I would love to do is get it to my heart.

So Lord help us to get this understanding that all these people out there reflect your glory from our head to heart. Help us to be able to take on Philippians right in and see others and esteem them better than ourselves. As you can see I would love to get more cleansing on my struggle with pride and help road rage in every aspect of our lives and I would really really really love to hear your story on how you got rid of that bloated feeling 866-34-TRUTH 87884. What's your antidote for the heinous sin of pride or the religious spirit. Call us 866-34-TRUTH 878854 now as I mentioned all the stuff that I just described. The whole thing I did for three segments.

There is all it Christian car guy.com it's all written out all the Scriptures links to psychology today in all the places where I found some of the stuff that I talked about. So if you're interested that, please by all means I'm go to Christian car data, while you're there. You'll note that the commercial calendars there because very good news next week working to be in Douglasville, Georgia right outside of Atlanta.

There's a car show there at Sweetwater Baptist Church and I'm very excited about seeing all the sweet cars out there next Saturday which is April 28. I would imagine since today's 21st and were to be out there were to be broadcasting live and they by the way have an amazing way that they bring the gospel into their car show and if you like doing car shows that your church I could not recommend more highly that you experienced this one in Douglasville, Georgia. They do such a wonderful job with it some very looking forward to being there, but I'm also if you got counter way out there. June 2. I'm in a be doing a car show here in Winston-Salem North Carolina at Calvary West out in Davie County.

My old home stopping around some looking forward to that but also today I wanted to course I'm still even all of these lines open. If you have any question concerning cars or something. We talked about or your story about pride, please call us 866-34-TRUTH 87884 but also want to speak to the Jesus labor love today quite a bit in the know God gave this ministry to us, which is car repair for single moms widows and families in crisis and and I think it's been about eight years now that we've been doing this in an and it really is an opportunity to look into the idea pride from all sorts aspects because here are a lot of folks that are really hurting and one of the things that I learned about pride when I think about this is I never forget when I was recovering from cancer and getting crushed by the Jeep. My Sunday school class came out and they built a wheelchair ramp on the back of my house and my pride welled up and I said what you do you know what I I don't deserve this.

How could you do this kind of thing for me and speaking to that kind of pride what my Sunday school teacher said I've never forgotten.

He said Robbie were two things Mike Hamby said Robbie you know we would do this for so many other people but they don't let us and when they don't let us do it. They rob us of the joy of helping them, and so I think about that every time I get a request on the Jesus labor. Love that this person has overcome their own pride to say hey I can't do this on my own and they're asking for help. I think about that every time I get a email or somebody sends me a question.

This is Robbie.

I don't know him and the way many times I don't have the answer but I will try to find one you know they have a car question and they want to sell a car. They want to do something like that so along those lines. If you're thinking I need to call right now and maybe lose a little bit of my pride and advance the kingdom. Call us 866-34-TRUTH 87884, but as always, single moms and widows call in. There's other situations and I wanted to make you aware of and so blessed that my socks and I get to see it and wish everybody did. But really almost 10 months ago there was a lady in Richmond, Virginia, and she had a car issue and I have some good folks there in Richmond that help me quite often it's Titan Autocare and took their and I had her take the car over there and when Butch looked at it.

He told me the car was beyond repair. It would take way more to repair this car than the value of the car and so I told her that I didn't know what else to do but just begin to pray that God would provide another car for hermit quite often people donate cars which is just wonderful wonderful wonderful when people donate cars to us which by the way, you can do it Christian car guy.com. I realize this is like October and I begin to pray that God would provide her car and ascended out to the team that prays for the Jesus labor, love, and they began to pray to God would send her car and the slate is so sweet.

She would text me about maybe every two or three weeks.

I don't want to bug you, but have you heard anything. I don't want to know and she's just obviously crying out to God and meet this need for me meet this need for me.

Well long about right after Christmas. I got an email from a man whose his mother passed away and she had a car that was a 98 Toyota that she pretty much only took to church on Sundays at 550 or 60,000 miles on it and the pain was gone and split into the interior, but it ran really good but we needed to do some stuff to it so will finish up on the story about the donated car more on the Jesus labor level. We got plenty of time for you to get your price Dorian 866-34-TRUTH 784 this is the strong by the red our daily bread.

We been talking about that is an antidote for pride today on the Christian Car Guy radio show.

Thank you so much for listening today and along those lines. I just don't have any idea how I could possibly babble this into my life without daily bread right daily time with Jesus and his word daily time in prayer asking him to look into my life and find these things that I know are hurting other people and opportunities to join with him in building the kingdom it makes such a difference in all the different things.

Whether it's dealing with road rage dealing with Jesus labor. Love mom that is struggling and sometimes you know there are hurting in the end they will hurt us so we would love to hear your solution. 866-348-7884 866-34-TRUTH's number to call in and share anything you've got a need or a story. We would love to hear it.

We are talking about the Jesus labor, love, and the lady that had ask and ask really for long time about getting a car donated and so wonderful family donated this car that I believe was his mother's that you know it was an 87 and had some stuff we needed to do, do it in order to get it ready in an and we have all these wonderful volunteers but they're doing work for us while in other still having to pay the bill so unfortunately took actually from about January February March to get this car fixed and yet this wonderful mom would text me every two or three weeks and my still on the list you think you might have a car for me every time really sweet messages but here they would, and I would just be Wayton God please God please get this copper well this week. Car got done and actually she had to drive to Raleigh to get she was. She went from Richmond to Raleigh to get the title and she came to Winston-Salem to pick up the car. We had it fixed her back to Richmond that night.

After all, that they just get in his car. I got this wonderful text from her and it said Robbie. I can't thank you enough this week I'll be able to go to church without asking for a ride while those of you donate to the Jesus labor level, whether it's a car or financial we probably helped with and prayed with 10 or 12 single moms and widows and families in crisis.

People with down syndrome children and things stories I can tell you I could spend the rest of time talking about how God is working all these people's lives the way he does that is for your prayers and for your support of the Jesus labor love in all the different ways again you go to Christian car guy.com just telling somebody about it and then you know that happens time again where somebody heard on the radio told somebody you need somebody came and they got help and they felt Jesus come into a life into their life to the point need and in he changes everything. Just like our daily bread.

What we have cannas in Colfax tenure on the Christian Car Guy sugar morning, good morning. I called you were not player but it's coming back now stuck his clearing he has built up. Yes, it will always want out. Robbie will go one step further, were used talking about the Senate in the 12 then you said the gospel and the seven number seven also you know you can take in consideration when you considered the quilt's after the pivot to consider instead of nine churches scattered about. Actually, that's likely to make the apostle Paul.

You know we had so much and he was definitely a genius but the law and grace of God. But you know he I wonder if got about prideful aura with pride because you know he was given the Lord/2B to keep it from being exalted above measure.

Now that felt like I prideful ration committee and each affected each inaptly in our own personalized questions of sometimes God just give us the following distinct ensemble line at the yeast that you use so talking about you feel pride that the Navy and the Lord God like each bill. It'll tell you that you're well and were depended on the word, just like all trails this and how can I know I morning I didn't want to call you. I just cut like this called to tell you that out there, but I didn't want Colleen and because I thought it colony and would be like calling on the next show title when a product at where it's always got so pleasantly with the seven churches. I had not thought about that. That is awesome that is absolutely wonderful. I've just been praying God, show me what it was.

Jesus was pretty clear you could. You need understand that yeah yeah his work were very weighty and valuable and it was always more than the evident meaning and application. One of the other disciple, study used till after the resurrection, and I stay so confused I forgot how childhood and how cool is it going to be when we when we get to see all this stuff start 000 yeah wow this is so amazing. His word comes in the end. And so we different ways. Thank you for all manner made my day you call out today of the letter in my return date. Many staggered flashlight when he would let her.

The book God does not.

That are about rights.

What's your story.

We would love to hear it.

866-34-TRUTH 87884's number to call in and share maybe you have and to atone for sin. I love what Kendra shared their and and and it's so much to do with getting in there and spending time with God through his word, but also in prayer as your in his word to Sean stuff like that and if you get really thirsty. It's amazing to me.

It really is amazing to me like you just get the question you go. I do not understand this God show me the answer.

Show me the answer. I do not understand that and then he gets.

Can the call in and give you another aspect of it.

I mean it that's that's the way it works is once you you go to him with questions like that that is good just bless you with all sorts of answers but also when you have physical needs and and when we can swallow our pride and say I need help I can't handle this and and then there's other people that really robbed them of the blessing of helping you if you don't tell them right. How many people how many know people get up there and they get puffed up and think that there beyond help.

But we all needed desperately we need it every day our daily bread. That's the beauty of manna. It's the beauty of the story, but you know every day you come in and you need a little bit more so is certainly my prayer that that that you enjoyed today's Christian Car Guy show.
