Now sit back and enjoy this podcast, the Christian card will you Christian Car Guy radio show initiation Bible style initiation fee you will I so what do you think is the best car I mean, what's the best visit for visit Chevrolet. Is it Honda, is it Toyota what is your favorite what makes it the best. What you think what you know if your lineup and say this is if the car maker is this.

This is the one I would love to know the answer. In your mind and your heart listening right this minute and I would love for you to call and tell me why you think that 866-348-7884 and I have Jerry are Christian body shop guy here to help us to determine this question that were out seeking to find out today what is the absolute best car after work to be a truck. I'm okay and I'm of the SUV. Okay what manufacturer you know which brand is your brand and your you see this everyday there's no none of them that you don't get to work on Mercedes or is it Sauber BMW which one mate is all of them but the thing is, every customer comes in whatever call their drive and it is amazing the relationship they have that vehicle on standby somebody calling to say that you go Vista.

The car I was a Yugo salesman at one point my career read we had got so bad that we had to do a buy one get one free 866 by one get two free 866-348-7884 866-34-TRUTH so I watch the picture with me and not block the calls are coming and I'm really glad Sharon what they think is the absolute best car 866-34-TRUTH 87884 but along these lines, I watch the picture with me these antique car insignias that would be on these cars when they were originally manufactured back in the 20s and 30s.

Whatever when you start looking at these old car insignias would you notice something that was in common between them all and watch the picture for me the Buick. That's one that usually steps out people say we have that was a try shield right. It was three shield and and if you look closely, it was Scottish because David Buick who is the founder Buick motor division was Scottish and he used his heraldry eased his his shield his coat of arms in order to make that and since Buick had three lines.

The young victim in the LeSabre in the what what whatever it was they had three lines and so these three shields and they all were that Scottish try shield or maybe think about Cadillac now.

You can't can't think about Cadillac without that shield Kenya. It's a shield and if you look closely you can see some swans on their really or how about Alfred Amanda look closely at that point is a big lake with a bid in a Red Cross or I know one that can jump out your you show to Joe has a big out looks like King lion King Richard the lion hearted on it you can picture it would make tension now it if you you look back in time you'll find that even though Chevrolet is got the bow tie that one point time look on the front of the 1955 Chevy Bel Air in your to see something. It's a shield. If you look on the old Ford logo. I got it all pictured in my websites you can see all these I would have the old Chrysler shield a Dodge brother shield actually had the star David in the middle of those all had one thing in common. They all had a shield and why you think that is to get to that in a minute, but first we'll get with William Hughes in Anderson, South Carolina William what you think is the best car out there like an art art Norway and I am now Cadillac.

Thereby, it always got be set here are yeah Cadillac you had money and I think they're engineered well. They drive well and a court reader there hated what do you think that people have gone through that to make Dolly the one I think that more like the car you talk about.

But all him in the eye candy and I would like art. I was I was following our punny dealers we have and if you remember that emblem was actually at one point time in a shield that was just that, and that common thing.

Thank you William. I appreciate your call and God bless by so what are your thoughts 866-34-TRUTH 87884. What is the best car and why we got Ken is coming from North Carolina can mirror on the Christian card I show good morning what you think is the best. I wondered for you got my dated about it was a Buick LeSabre not bound and I needed a car so he let me have it on the bill that I would finish that I drove that car had over 200,000 miles on in my life going to get some mail and I didn't went down to the dealership and not going they didn't want to give me think Portside started spell it $300.

A friend of mine will send submarine division of the Navy and he was stationed in Seattle and he want to buy a card glass where he would get a bill so you can create everything. He drove that car all away to Seattle for like six months and course. It wasn't hard but he totaled the car you ran into a brick mailbox is no telling how long they call the last three shields that you are my father know the lift the lifters click did not think the whole time. We can't know my father worked for Buick so that I kind of lived under the try shield my whole life.

Thanks again. God bless you… Bye-bye.

I could picture that read like Blue Shield like in my dreams and this, my dad had ties with that he looked up and you name it we had tried on the lights so and really I would love if you see if you think it's time to work out some of these new you know cream import Sunday or do you what what are your thoughts really what you what you just believe in your heart of hearts is the very best car and I think it be really helpful.

You understand why the more you call into David more people get this view out there.

We would love to have 866-348-7884's number to call in 86634 truth if you're digitally gifted but I went up develop this a little bit more coursework and have appraised by the real black book or go talk about the Jesus label ever to go there.

But before we do that I want to develop this whole idea about shield gets. They are all shields picture in your mind. And so what would a shield have to do. Why do you think that those car manufacturers use the shield to indicate that there car was the best well I think that if you really begin the processes and actually got have me a lesson plan this week and all week long he would teach me about shields and I and I saw him every if you start looking around your to see the interstate signs are shield policeman carried shield fire all shields are everywhere, but for centuries the shield was a huge, huge deal and it had to do with. If you are traveling anytime you traveled and if you read the Bible you can see it someday got on the road, like the good Samaritan. There's a good possibility.

They're going to get hurt so you away from home and being safe is a huge deal and so this idea of a shield would would give you this essence of safety in the course and a people that were in the ancient times. The Greeks they understood shields of the level that we don't even begin to understand shield. In fact, to a Greek soldier their mother when they sent them out and this is true, the mother would say you need to come back with your shield or on and if you think about your coat of arms. Where was it found it was your family's heraldry and that's what you see only shields that are on these cars and what is it trying to tell us about the major factor behind what is that have to do with this shield of faith in Ephesians 60 legato so much Christian card, I shall come anyway but we 86634871 God with all our 69 four dealers now. I think is the car that's question today of the Christian card as shown is a very specific reason for asking Ms. because honestly if you think about what you believe is the best car, chances are you have faith that that car is not to leave you on the side of the road. You believe that it when you put sticky and then the bits, start you believe that if you're taking your family on vacation and you're in the middle of an over the swamps in Louisiana that all the sudden you're not out there for right now.

Here's whatever that looks like, and so for that very reason they have used shields and logos for innocence. The beginning of the automobile business to illustrate that to you.

You can have faith. It's interesting the shield of faith is even I have faith in this car and if you think about is really cool what Paul said in Ephesians 614, above all, above all, take up the shield of faith, working to get a lot into that but I want to ask and end at risk of making myself look like a complete crook, which I probably was at one point time to share what faith will do for your game we picture the Robbie's out there is a Pontiac salesman is about 22 years old and I'm a car salesman.

Okay, so I'm a car salesman and I come out of the service department and I learned lots of different techniques by going to different schools that Pontiac had her Volkswagen had gone through quite a bit of training and Volkswagen had a lot of problems.

Back when I went to their school with card people complaining that there car wasn't get my gas mileage that was on the window sticker window stickers back then you need to start a put that on the sticker that exposed get 22 miles a gallon.

Volkswagen always had problems with her integrity, but so what they taught us as young service advisors was that if this person is complaining that they're not getting enough gas mileage you take him out to the gas pump and you Tom look I want to put 1 gallon of gas in right it if you don't excuse me, fill the tank all way up to fill it until you cannot put any gas in picture this with me that you feel that this Volkswagen rabbit gas tank and you could get another day, another ounce of gas is tell the customer put as much gas as you can minute and then say an hour to go drive if it's 28 miles a gallon supposed to get working to drive 14 miles out by 14 miles it back and we'll see if you can put a gallon gas back in the gas tank and they should always do this early in the morning and now she understands the dynamics of expansion here that if gas that's down in the ground is cold and so you know you your go put try this in your car, you'll see, it works every time.

If you put a gallon of gas in the car and you won't and you fill it up to its click click click click click which by the way is really bad. Don't do that because you can mess up your car by going click click click click click I teach buffet but that's what you do so. This man came up that now this is five, six years later I'm selling a Pontiac LeMans and this man comes up and he's like that window sticker. That's the biggest bunch of junk ever.

There's no way in the world that Carl ever get that gas mileage and he would not stop.

He just would not stop until finally I said let me ask you this if it'll get that much gas which at the time was like 90 miles a gallon will you buy the car and he knows there's no way I get. So I said I can prove to you that goes all right Jerry, I take them out of the gas pump and we fill it up all the way the course.

This particular dealership was right by the highway and so we went up there and it was whatever it was we went 14 miles up in 14 miles back.

I stood there for 20 minutes trying to get a gallon gas, but kidnapped with eight in the world that he could do it because obviously it was a little bit of shenanigans going on here. Okay about the cost estimate.

He absolutely bought the car, but what's even better than that in my mind's eye I worked at this dealership. Remember years afterwards and every time I saw that man 20 a mildly 31. He was one of the happiest people with his carve anybody I've ever met anybody ever sold the car to always feel guilty because I knew there was some deception underneath that he might be less than that son of a but nonetheless think about what he had now he had faith that his Pontiac LeMans got better gas mileage and anything on and what did he then experienced in his own life. In reality, whether he was deceived and not originally what happened was that man had faith in the gas mileage that LeMans and he lived it for years to come. And so this is why I'm thinking it would be really good if you would cause right now and tell us what you have that can express that you have faith in your honor. You got faith in your Toyota you have faith in your Hyundai or your Kia 866-348-7884. Now here's the challenge is that from a faith standpoint. Sometimes we drop our shields and Jerry knows we have this Jesus labor, love, and that's car repairs for single moms widows families in crisis. And so every week I have these applications of people to come in.

That really are in the middle of a crisis and what I discovered years ago when this week we got a really tough when I got to get you involved in here in a minute but every week when when I call these people after they tell me their story and is often more than you could bear if you could hear they got a child sick. They got a get in the hospital they got no transportation there mother this that and the cars got a transmission leak is just and it's good enough to make you go, what we can ado we don't have the resources to fix this and so I learned early on the first thing that you do is pray when you pray, you are lifting your shield of faith and working to get a lot into that is the show goes through, but you know it blows my mind that quite often in spite of the fact that they contacted the Jesus labor lots of God might be involved in this and besides the fact that it's a Christian radio station I heard from and it would appear to be a godly thing that often in this week. One out of three times and this is not unusual statistics. They say no one has ever prayed with me. No one back at this.

Can you imagine hearing that from this poor person that is in the middle of a crisis. It's unbelievable. And then they say to you, and there in tears. Thanks. No one has ever prayed and what that means is like a shield of the church family gets all that. So I got to know what's your pick for the best, 866-348-7884 866-34-TRUTH so much more progressive and you and he is the only La Plata Chevrolet around you could picture that 57 and I am sure but anyway the question of the day on the Christian Car Guy show that that you can just hear what they're doing there, providing faith, they are trying to get you to buy into the fact that you can trust this Chevy did to travel long distances as I could and you recommend up in the swamp fight alligators coming that's that's the deal.

But speaking out in the swamp fight alligators. We were talking right before the break, about the Jesus labor loving the use of the people that unfortunately whatever car brand. There have, and by the way, we still wants to call ended. 866-34-TRUTH 8788.0's, which I guess nobody really loves their car, although it is it can be subtle things that are chemical 866-34-TRUTH 87884 but we are talking about that again. II just feel more than honored to be able to take these requests and call these people and then asked him, is it okay if I pray with you and see the response that comes after.

I pray with them is to me more important than anything else happens in the whole transaction that here's this person that really is in their own way be almost beyond hope and then somebody us and look we can do this and as you raise your shield of faith, there there hearing something that God cares about them that God sees her situation, God is going to come to the rescue and they begin to do what Jesus said to do in the garden you send me watch and pray, watch and pray, wow there is another solution and end. God is in it now. To me the connection hopefully is that if their car does indeed get fixed and sometimes it has nothing to do with us the gifts fixed or their situation gets better. They know that this was not from Robbie. It was not from Jerry. It was from God and in and that he gets the glory. And that he's the he's the hero of the story. The reason why that's so critical is because next time you face anything in life you need to have faith in Robbie will need to have faith and Jerry you need to have faith in God and and and it's critical, but you see this in cars every day.

Jerry what happens when someone erects their car and they believe they've lost faith in that car that Naumann had nothing but problems because then you can't can never change that attitude because that's what they their mindset is in the deaf. Somebody comes in and says you know what, I love this condos me back the same way it was, and which is what that the in game is to get a backup reaction condition then they'll continue to love that Columbia would drive it for years and years and get the same service in the same level but if somebody gets that mindset. The best thing you can do if you just think after an accident or a mechanical pop. A new engine or something that will never be the same. I'll never, never be that is reliable as it was probably the best thing to do is to sell it and then to get another car because if you don't have faith in it and enjoy it and you have a yeah will be handicapped on where you how you use that vehicle and how was able to bless your others I tell you not until people for years.

If you don't have faith in the car you don't have faith community need to switch cars and find something that you do have faith in because it make your life it's it's a very difficult thing. But let's get back from minute to Ephesians 6 and this idea that Paul said, take up your shield of faith, and I want to bring up something along those lines. I'm still tracking cars you're okay, but the Greeks as I said would tell their young people as they went off to war. You either come back with your shield or on it. That's how they considered the shield was that big a deal, and if you think about the medieval times.

They were there coat of arms on their shield so their family honor, to an extent, was on there and in the Knights of old, there saying was you would rather lose the field and lose your shield. Now why would that be so important. Well, there is an old Greek king, the Romanovs or some whatever data same. It was that guy and ask him why is it that you completely dishonor a soldier if he loses his shield, but if he loses his helmet for Liz's breastplate is fine, you lose his shield and he's like totally dishonored, you can't do anything worse as far as the Greeks older than lose your shield, why would that be and he said this is so insightful. He said if you lose your helmet or you lose your breastplate.

You've just made yourself vulnerable.

But if you leave your lose your shield and you make your whole army vulnerable and here's why you see the Greeks based day for Fontan formations very tight formations and so you held your shield in your left hand and so your left hand was protecting the person on your right in their left hand was protecting you. And so if you picture this beautiful armada of Greek soldiers coming at you, and there's no shield in the middle.

This is worthless, I mean the crossbow fire everything is coming right in that way.

And so prayer is a team and and Paul knew this above all, right above all, take up the shield of faith, because if you bring up your faith you are bringing up the person.

If you pray with them or praying from the minute you know, I know when there's lots of prayers that we do alone in the closet but there's times when you need to lift your shield of faith, so that the people around you can join in you in faith believing that God is going to take this situation under control and to do that right there with them. Jerry is is an amazing way to demonstrate your faith that God can come through the situation. Yeah, I think it you in prayer is one of the things we as it as Christians we can just take it for granted sometimes in the importance of and the power of it with New Testament church mean that what prayer and and being there for each other and community.

The community L built around God's word read the Scriptures extend scripts but also the prayer part of it brings it to life in the neat thing is, I began God had me on this lesson plan a Shields and I just began looking around and I charmed anybody to go out there today. As you drive around policeman have a badge. It's what a shield farm and has a what shield you know Firestone.

It's a ship just look around and you're gonna see them all over the place and what is God trying to tell me that you have. This is something that is available in order for me to have faith and trust in Abraham Lincoln said something I think is right.

Along these lines very important understand. He said if you look for the bad and someone you will surely find what part of the shield of faith in this assent we put on the armor of God every day and when I put on the armor.

I've been thinking lately. I need to have faith in Jerry jurors can come through for me here.

He's in the image of God.

I need to have faith in Kim my producers working hard in there right now to make sure that all your calls were taken at 866-34-TRUTH 7884 to tell me what your favorite artist. He's eased.

He's making sure the levels are right means do I gotta have faith in my wife that I know that she loves me because there's times that the fiery darts of the evil one are coming now to understand more about Shields and why the Greeks thought the Romans understood this all too well to and what Paul said right after that line about take up your shield. The next thing he said was to extinguish the fiery darts of the evil one that I found out this week is the Romans in obviously had this problem. The Greeks were no winning, and so we have to do something against this whole shield idea and so they came up with these real heavy javelins and they put pitch on the end of them, set them on fire. Now, if you throw a really heavy javelin at a wooden piece Greek Silverwood and so you throw this big heavy on fire, javelin and hit this whole Greek line with and they would throw thousands of these you can picture these heavy javelins, and and now you got a shield.

It's just been hit by 15 pound javelin and it's on fire you're gonna drop your shield away soon as they drop their shield. They were right behind their all these cross bows and they would literally rain down death on you as soon as the shield window and so when it out. What was Paul pointing to while I'm just share with you the very second she don't believe God is going to come through for you and I hear that these poor people that you know they're having trouble with her car in this whole situation and I can hear in her heart. I don't know what I meant to do this is beyond hope. This shield is down the fiery dart that that javelin is hidden it's on fire and their losing faith that God can become through form and have it for me. Probably 20 times a day. That's why I need to hold and I gotta tell you about one that works presently deal with and I need everybody Shields up on this one. Jesus later love is really a lesson for this and what's the best part of our faith and seen it in numerous cases. I bet you have two when you think about it were somebody believed in somebody that you never thought that that could come or they believed in something they believed in a car that you never thought that the W you know could be heard but you know whatever it was, you saw him have faith and then all of a sudden some happened as a result of what it was they saw and that shield is is phenomenal in its illustrated throughout also to things, but Jerry before we get into the Jesus later love shield issue that we gotta talk about.

We got another, she only got a listener wants to know about under coding that we got what I got at that email a few weeks ago a gentleman in Utah a listener who purchased a used truck was asked a question about getting the under coding or the body shield underneath it for protection. Especially with him may be in Utah be an arrest issue that had gone to a dealership in the question was due out what was my opinion of doing the coating underneath the vehicle, because the dealer told him he didn't necessarily need to do that with these new high-speed MNEs new high-strength steels and that the con posits in the steel is probably not as critical as used to be, but believe me from my standpoint, especially if your new tall northern parts of that the country and step with lot assault on the road a lot of lot of moisture on the road deftly do it especially if you can do it economically and which now you can, but steel steel will get that that rest in there, even if it's aluminum you people think about aluminum but aluminum also get corrosion in it but it'll still etching there a lot of times you don't see it but the new high-strength steel and the carbons that are in the steel may not be as rapid but is still getting in there in the veins of that material and that that that that metal annual still have that rest problem so an analyst and that under coding itself as well as an installation and it so it takes away road noise are mainly manufacturers have used it for years to get rid of road noise and heat that comes off the ground. You noted cooler in the summer and obviously keep Capt. there to its installation as well as obviously protecting against gallons or less shield sort of yeah and then when the gentleman sent me the information. He also sent me a link to a company that does that they are not, had looked at that and read what they're doing. Yes, it is a great process because what it does. You get protection and I know and I know the reason for a lot of the dealerships in lot of people saying you don't need that. Like you do like you used to at some of the older vehicles. Believe me, anything you can do to protect the vehicle and get the longevity of it and do it. Especially when you're in the area. That's a high risk area during flash that is a question I have missed out on.

I get a Babbitt on one of other guys deleted emails, clean them up and been looking to get back to answer that question, though it probably is good in animate talking about Shields today a course if you still want to get in and put down your vote for the best car Honda, Toyota you know if it happens to be Dodge and and read the coating like I believe that then you know it's okay I will you have anything that I have faith in old red and a lot of people of said Robbie why do you keep drive my car 400,000 mile I have faith and I get in it.

I know it's gonna take me to where I need to go in one people. Well, you know, but again it has to do with where I was coming from, which is I believe that it's a mechanical thing and it can be repaired and they can be fixed and we way we go. But getting back to our situation, the Jesus labor love. That's car repair labor for single moms widows and families in crisis and we get these applications every week and here they come and one thing that I would just say is I've been asking God in prayer myself holding up my Shields and God please send me somebody that wants to do this with me as I honestly am overwhelmed at times to meet the need is first time I've gotta make these calls, but it finding somebody who understands the car business enough to be able to make the calls and has the compassion enough to listen to the people and then has the spirituality enough to make sure that they pray because it's absolutely critical to me that the people that are in need met.

Connect the dots that the reason this is being fixed. The reason this is being there being helped through Christ. This is because a Robbie and that it will raise their shield so they can get through life. You know this isn't just fixing their car it is. I'm hoping given them an understanding that God really cares about him enough that he died form on the cross and that they don't know Jesus that would actually be a point of salvation.

Let me show you how much he really does care about you to the point that he literally is ready to take on all your sin. That's as we begin to raise people Shields of faith and they begin to see God cares about them. I.e. my own story. I didn't accept Christ until I had an understanding and had some faith that God cared about me and so these are things that we can do and what I'm saying is we need volunteers, little Robbie.

I'll guarantee you that volunteers listen this morning so hope God's batters and wasn't put in.

Yeah that and you can go to Christian Car Guy.com get my email address and send me a personal email or you can fill out the form.

It doesn't matter to me. I just would love to hear from the other thing is we have two situations where I need a bunch of shields I need a complete Greek armada coming up because we have this one situation.

We have been dealing with since November when this lady car broke down in Virginia told it down here we got an engine donated but the mechanic just is not had the time of the only mechanic I can find is willing to donate all the hours to put this engine in which is terribly expensive and so our heat.

We have been stuck kind of in and we just need prayer.

Prayer prayer for this particular lady. She has been waiting and crying and we been praying together, and she has another car that were trying to keep on the road and all this but that particular situation and we need your prayers on the person that we can get that car in and get it fixed but then we got into another one and donations. A car I need something this lady just breaks my heart.

She is a disabled daughter so she has to have a van, her mother sick so she has to have a van or van. We were told needed $800 sensor and supposing the transmission will be fixed but there was a possibility we would spend the $800 and the transmission wasn't fixed. Unfortunately, that Jablon went straight into our shield and we spent $800 but it did not fix. And so now it's over 20 some odd hundred dollars and will really looking at wow if we could find a car so we could donate a car even sell as a car real inexpensively would be a whole lot less expensive than spending $3000 to get this lady another man.

I'm asking because I just believe God has a van for this lady or some solution to the financial need to put the transmission in so again you can go to Jesus labor loving. Gotta pitching cargo.com in their click on the Jesus labor love and you and you will see ways to donate or email me that you have a car. Whatever just get up with me. I'll figure out a way to handle it but I'm asking that you and you and you know most of you listen obviously don't have a car, but you can lift your shield with me and pray that God will provide for these people because there's no doubt in my mind that together as we raise people's faith that God can come through or raise faith and in an art in that at some point, but we can bring the kingdom moving forward with our shield together right with the aim is not to use them. You think that that front line of the soldiers with the shield in a one wasn't going to defeat anybody. One was a gonna protect anybody.

It was a provided together this what we can do a minute then have to be.

We are to somebody out in this audience listening that can do it all.

If you can do a small part of a lot of it can do a small part, we can make a huge impact for Jesus Christ and the life these people and I monitored really honored God has us here and we get a chance to share with you. And if he gives me all is shield so much fun. But most of all monitor that you listen today and that we have a chance to thank you for listening.

Thank you radio stations carry the show. Thank you for the Jesus labor love volunteers all over that help us make all this possible.

So God bless you all were so glad you listen remember slowdown. Jesus walked everywhere he went and he got it all done in 33 and this week.

Think about those shield and what you might do to help raise somebody's faith. Thankfulness
