Now sit back and enjoy this podcast, the Christian card written down on new ways to car guy radio show initiation Bible style Association is the Christian card I show today you might guess it's on stolen cars. It could happen to you right Bill, yes that drive in a stolen, now that's an interesting story and working to cover that today I'm a Christian card I show but it really 33 seconds and the USA actually one gets stolen mostly older cars and since the average American car is now 11 years old. Guess what your older car is the target and there are some reasons for them to get into all that you have some common sense solutions but as I whisk specially with Bill's predicament as I was considering this I thought what might be kind of fun. I know it's not necessarily fine subject built by the II just thought about this I could create assignment would go on my dashboard for any would-be car thief I could send them a message you know of some kind and you know something along the lines of protected by GPS God positioning Seraphim he sees you when you're sleeping or you know, I'm sorry. I know you're struggling so bad you still my car and know that I'm praying for you really hot so I don't want to have all the fun with this.

I thought you might have fun calling in with your idea of the sign that you could put on your – for would-be car thief 866-34-TRUTH 878. A true or maybe you had your car stolen in you. You want to speak to that. Or maybe you have a great idea to keep from getting your car stolen. We love all those calls 866-34-TRUTH 87884 another one. I thought of his. Please enjoy my car all please enjoy my car while you can.

It's it's really gonna cost you more than you think.

So what would your idea be what would your experience be 866-34-TRUTH 87884 is a number to call in and share and yesterday I was actually helping out Jesus labor love participant and on Wednesday she will last Saturday actually in the Jesus labor loves the car repair for single moms widows families in crisis.

In this particular family was in crisis and last Saturday we found out she needed a bunch of bright parts on Wednesday.

She called me and she was absolutely in tears.

Bill she was crying very upset. Her car had been stolen in the really bad thing about that was not just that her car was stolen. She had three car seats in there and now without any car seat she couldn't take her children anywhere couldn't get them to where they need to be etc. etc. so I was beginning to pray ascended out as a prayer request to Jesus.

Jesus labor led prayer team or the next day she called me and said Bobby good news we found Michael and so I was down there yesterday, I sent you, do this show inch coincidently on stolen cars and the guy behind the parts counter cyst pieces you know I'll tell you where 99%. The cars are stolen is because people leave the keys in and I was like, really. And the poor. You know, her husband, who was already sheepishly know it was. It was embarrassing for him to get help carrying all three kids at that he was carrying one of the McCarthy and he was like yeah that's well, actually they fell out of my back pocket into the seat. I didn't know where they were there and you know that's what happened. They left keys and and then bill comes in on at the time we thought that maybe 99% was kind of a stretch but then bill came in today and Bill Haddad added your car gets don't get it.

For years it did in my driveway. There was a police car parked right there and yeah, about a block over for a long time. The chief of police lived in the neighborhood was full of police cars never was terribly concerned about burglary in my neighborhood. So I had a spare key in the glove box and then I had a very simple key that would allow me to get into my car at at my house and I didn't always leave the car lot said that this is a 2000 Ford. She had never dreamed anybody would go out and collect 2014 eight so I come out about 730 in the morning and I look and there's a hole where there shouldn't be a whole.

I walked down to the end of the driveway tried to remember where I turned around and it dawned on me somebody that not decided they wanted to 2000 Fuji and the story goes on and on where you need to morning that but we want to play a very special stolen car.

Addition of name meant noise and yeah I find my defect or race that I like that hubbub name is called an planner so you get ready to call him 866-34-TRUTH 87884 with a special stolen car is of name meant noise and I just happen to know that a whole lot of cars gets stolen.

The way that this noise would make that sound so if you call him 866-34-TRUTH 87884 Jim Toma Delwin Robert Evelyn a book by Stu Epperson June tiled bathroom.

Jesus also had a coding CD by Richard Dinsmore. Five of the last words of Jesus for his wonderful prize and all you have to do is name. This noise now.

I would tell you to give you a hint that that noise would be noise you hear a lot of cars get stolen. And if you can name that noise you can win that prize 86634878848663487884 play that noise one more time for Kim when you know when but if you want to.

When you call is 866-34-TRUTH 87884 maybe got a sign that you would like to hundred – or maybe have an idea how to keep your car from installing or maybe you would like to join the ranks of Bill and then my poor husband the other day and would admit that the reason there car got stolen was that they left it running or they had the keys in it, or whatever the situation may be coming up at the end of the show we have our appraisal by the real black book. That's where we search the Bible for hidden treasure.

Cry out for discernment, lift up our voice for understanding, well, if you listen to a Bruce Springsteen cement song. You can tell he's pretty damn character about the monies cars and that might lead to repentance, and I don't if you've ever thought of repentance being a gift. I got some scripture along those lines, and some thoughts along those lines in a story along those lines, I want share, Pinchot and our appraisal by the real black book.

As always, I will mention the Jesus labor love our website tells you all about that him and give you an update here little bit about what we talked about last week the Jesus labor love free car repair labor for single moms widows a course their Christian Car Guy.com all these ideas about stolen cars and Christian car people sales registry Christian car care centers. It's all there, as well as Christian card I theater and podcasts. It Christian car guy.com and I don't know that we've ever had this many calls Bill is on and we actually loaded up the entire board immediately with people that want to name that noise.

I'm excited to get to that in just a minute, but please you call with your idea 866-348-7884. Now, Bill. There are some real situations here that we as hard that for a lot of folks they think that they may not be targeted but in reality, older cars don't have the theft protection that newer cars may not have the chip keys that necessarily will start the car right Wilmot had a cheap K said well that one had the chip that had a key to the RI when we come back we got all sorts of people ready. The name that noise which by the way, might have some to do a stolen car on just saying and we got more tips on how to make sure I got his miracles associated with with her on her miracles and €. I'm looking forward to hear what your ideas are 866-34-TRUTH 7884 drive.

Now on we stolen car that's for Christian card I show today. What's up with that who is targeted and what can we do to protect ourselves. But there's a lot of stuff along this line that we can talk about today in the Christian Car Guy, so we would love to have your ideas a little sign, maybe. Perhaps that you could put in the – for would-be car thief and we would love for you to call us at 866-348-7884. Just like Jan did during the breaks you want to go on the air. She's in Everett Washington, but she wanted the she said she had an idea for assignment just said simply, this car belongs to God, which it certainly does. It certainly does, as does the show. So again, we would love for you to take part in it 866-348-7884 we have taffy's in Utah taffy you got an answer for me on what that noise was track current. That's exactly right. And I you know that the that's called the stinger of the little noise that you heard and a lot of people do not realize how quickly and how easily somebody could take your car with a tow truck and a stinger because this thing simply impacts right in your car and if they don't wrap the tires they can get 567 blocks away admin then wrap the tires which takes you know that takes a couple minutes but as far as picking up the stinger and go on with it right. It doesn't take 15 to 20 seconds and had to go check on a college campus right in the. The thing you visited. You can have all the antitheft devices you want your car unless you can find a way to attach it to the ground this evening is not in a duplicate, then they may use a rollback. There's other ways they can do that, but it's it's it's really and you may not know how common this is. A lot of folks don't taffy for some so glad you guessed that.

Is that unfortunately I know of the situation relative.

I wish I didn't know this but a relative used on a wrecking yard is not with us anymore so I noise not doing it anymore, but a relative illness wrecking yard and whenever somebody came in and they needed and since he was 40 miles outside of a major city anytime somebody came in that needed a transmission for a 94 Honda Accord or whatever was he needed. He simply would drive into this major city until he spotted the car you needed and he hooked right up to it and he brought it back to his little city and you know then took the engine. Whatever was he needed and that was just unfortunately all too easy. So it that's the noise that it makes him in one way that I would mention that you can kinda protect yourself against this one. Although it doesn't do that much. But something you can do and something I always do, which is really good habit is to set your emergency brake and said it really hard because at least they'll be screeching down the road trying to pull the car so I don't know see his son lost one in in the college campus that will get right up in well thank you for calling in today. God bless you and thank you all rights we have your idea. Perhaps that we gotta get to 866-34-TRUTH 87884 866-34-TRUTH the bill you say that most people stealing cars are the majority of them.

Besides the fact that the keys were available easily and whatever probably gone for joint right about half the cars stolen seem to be you had about a 50% chance it recovering your carpet stolen. Most of those are recovered in the first 30 days.

Generally there failed when the gas tanks one at a gas over there involved in an accident. A lot of times the older cars are stolen by kids that are taken in for Joel to Iraq and the officers I've talked to said sometimes they will just hopscotch deal take your car, drive to the neighborhood on the other side of town leave yet find another car had Phil Coke until they get that. In other words, that they don't want to go be seen at the gas stations that were they run out of gas.

They steal another car hat, which again speaks to the common sense idea of simply don't leave your keys or don't leave a key in the glove box that I think you get the locking gas cap. Quite frankly anyhow that's that you and obviously they would go in a terribly far but you know the ins and I CB gives these statistics and it shows you know that these older cars are the ones that are clearly the major you know that these older records, especially in older civics are the biggest target by the thousands that are stolen and you know so if you have some of those cars and you go to Christian Car Guy.com and see the targeted ones. There are other ideas besides obviously not leaving early keys in the car not locking it. There are no GPS devices that you can put in the Mobley device easier pit bull dog in the back seat now and then put a sign if we got Susan's in Louisville Kentucky. She has a question for Susan. You're on the Christian card I should hello I bought an old convertible drink. I was fortunate to live in Florida for 20 years and had to get a Mustang convertible. I always lock my convertible never had any problem that I was in pretty early part, the counter did that the time so I should always lock it even going to leave it convertible open because that meant.

Or maybe it's true. Maybe I can tell me that little yellow ripped the convertible top to get in and it better to leave it out and I think that Billy that nothing like no you insurance is with that is that is a myth. I really believe that you know car thieves would necessarily rip convertible top because honestly that be a big part of what they could but they could use but you know is easy it is to pop a lock these days especially on the convertible. You know they would be wasting a really good expensive item because most of the car stolen. In my opinion are stolen for their parts that are not there. Not again. Most of the cars that stay stolen Netherlands right right over half the cars that are stolen and recovered and those that are going out on joy rides.

Whatever leave in the stolen wins can be recovered just because the recovered doesn't mean there's more than three parts lift.

Yeah, the ones that are taken by the people that really are in the business of feeling cars they're going after those parts can they convertible top is auto specific cell, so ripping it would not necessarily be a good idea that I agree with you more. Lock your car when you got the top down or not I would leave top is the other makes just to begin imitation. The box and whatever else so we got a lot more on this whole stolen car subject plus Jesus labor 11 update that I promise and I praise about the room like Satan and the nihilist of that bill is kind of the creepy thing you listen to Christian card.

I show you know how horrible would that feel to be met. Situationally actually stolen a car in the in your at that point in life. Are you struggling and I don't know maybe assignment on the – or some might encourage and I know it seems kind of strange but it's just a thought that I have but you know that's a really low place to be is being in a stolen car in the middle night think you because he pictured the people that stole my car being concerned that they had run out of beer. You know it's it's it's it's a who knows who knows, but there there something to think about their I want to sign that says if you stole my car call me for a reward. I won't my Bible that now that was what happened you lost your Bible. That's what I get you the little stuff to the car didn't bother me but I kept thinking about the little stuff that was in the car and the one thing that that we should bring up there's a couple ideas along this way is both a lady that I talked about the Jesus labor Lovelady and Bill found their own car and both of them were told that usually it's within a few miles of where they are where they left it and that somebody took it for a joy ride and so that's what avenue that's what happened in my case that had two people that one was with the best church related site to people.

He told me that they had relatives who had found their car in a neighboring neighborhood for five months later. So after I bought my new call for the next day he Blotted the kept popping up in my mind and I was missing my my Bible at head for 20 years in a number of other little things in the card. I pride about it and in 30 minutes to look at. I found my car now. Which is what happened with those other folks as well so I just prayed today earlier and now then you and I had a chance to make my sonic that's true. I did find a first-class a number one car salesman and I've been praying about that for a long time now and I love you you found the base. My son Robbie. The third is working at modern Chevrolet here in Winston-Salem but the other thing we want to bring up is that it's kind of a scary situation from my standpoint, is that a lot a lot a lot of folks use garage door openers and those same folks quite often do not lock their back door now, if you know how easy it is for somebody to just simply take your garage door opener viewer leave your car unlocked by accident and there is a garage door opener they can see it hanging on the mere by the way your addresses on the registration in your glovebox so you lift after Carl open.

There's a garage door opening your addresses in the glovebox.

They have very simple devices very easy to get by, was hard to get his Red Cross button that can read the code from your garage door openers call the home link and you can just go to anybody you know once you've read the code you can go to their garage. Push the button now the garage is open and so you just don't know when you may have left yourself open for that so blocking that door to your garage is just good common sense not to mention alarm system because many of us up, including myself, but you know it home. Theft is is another issue but these garage door openers and and you know you don't know that you took your car into Jiffy Lube or wherever and and there's a garage door opener right there. How do you know that the guy changing your oil doesn't the code from not try to make people paranoid or anything like that in the same common sense is you have that exposure.

And there's no reason not to have a deadbolt on your back door and not to keep it locked. Even when you're not there and I know that may be a pain, but you know you protecting yourself and your family and and those are things in it comes to stolen cars that we wanted to bring up but also wanted to give you an update on the Jesus labor love. Last week we talked about these two cases, one of which was really severe. The ladies had a child with autism and her parents are both disabled and she's trying to run them errands and she had a Honda Accord or she has a Honda Accord with a blown head gasket needs to be analyst 15 $1800 and also needs steering rack and there were all these things. So I ask if you would please consider everybody listing my voice might consider going to Christian car guy.com's Christian car guy.com and their donate just a dollar for the Jesus labor love and you know send a message that there's 3000 people, or 2500 or whatever it was that really care about you and so it was interesting.

A lot of places I went this week at the Robbie how many people you know how many people actually took your advice what you might be shocked but I feel like the answer shocked me because I really had hope for significantly more but the truth is only about six actually went and did that and one of them.

Praise God sent $50 which really helped in another labor left case, but we still have these that we need help with the me we need out the membrane. God will put it on some people's hearts to give to these causes. Because every week we have and again it was my joy yesterday to be there when we got the brakes on the ladies car that had been stolen in the gutter car seats back and all that stuff and you get to see the look on the face of somebody who's really in a difficult situation and now you know the situations been made better through what God provided, and it's clear when it comes from the Jesus labor love which is a 501(c)(3) and every single dollar that we take in. With exception of what may go to PayPal or something. We have no administration cost everybody as a volunteer everybody that volunteers are labor as a volunteer any parts that we supply anything that we do. There's no money going anywhere to administration costs are lawyers know volunteer their time in order to get our 501(c)(3) status or accountant. There is no money was ever gone anywhere other than to helping the people that is that Dick call in or come in through the website a Christian car guy.com or Jesus labor love.com and and request help at interesting thing. It was is is a lot of times you know if your me your sit there and you're praying God.

We know what am I gonna do this when I when I get to do that one, because we have a prayer team and I'm thankful for that.

But it's difficult sometimes when you asked for help and you say bite me know and and and as of Saturday afternoon. I had no responses for anybody donating but I had more responses for people needing help and so I was like okay God you trust me with this.

You trust me that, but it's just wow. You know there's more news open yourself up in faith them and try to help these people.

I would really like to be in a position you not to do that and I know you would too. So I think everybody especially those who gave last week that was amazing very much appreciated very much needed and a yet to see the faces when the people get the help to appreciate another got them out of a difficult situation and so you know if you got time today Christian car guy.com a dollar to sense a message to somebody that somebody cares and they're looking out form that bill, you are really research the subject and you spent a lot of time here and you got another idea along the lines of of offering a reward will once again if it said half the time it's kids Julie Ryden when they run at a gas did a lot of times you get the car back so I'm ago invested a simple locking gas cap for one thing you want to make sure you you try to park in a lit spot you want to try and park someplace where it appears like there's a camera on it and you will lock your car, where I filled out and add just want to kick myself is even though it was next to my house I'd lift the car unlocked and I need to remember to make sure that all face lock the car even when I think it's safe most of the cars are stolen using the key. Some of the articles I read some of the posts I read from professional qualities said they would steal the key admitted steal the car. It's easier to break into a house or to pickpocket somebody and use that key that it is to figure out a way to run off with the car without the key. It's it's a real pain had that car golf and even if you get it back soon finding that there were two great suggestions. One gentleman suggested you contact the Companies and that you offer a reward to the cab driver into the dispatcher and another person who had great success said that if you check and see who picks up the trash in your area you get some flyers out to the trash screws that they do a really good job and they know what's supposed to be around and what's not your car stolen in its history. Nobody knows it stolen was her suggestion for an amount $500 a night where he both suggestions. I sausage 50 but you 50 bucks to the cab driver 25 spots to the dispatcher for getting you information that leads to find in the vehicle.

There's there's all these ideas, but we need yours. We would love to hear your idea 866-348-7884 866-34-TRUTH were going to be talking about the gift of repentance. When we come back we would love to hear your success. 866-348-7884 Marxist Sargasso here idea calling at 86634878848663487884 and I do want to mention also for and I was very very grateful for someone who mailed in a check last week that if you don't want to give online you can clearly just mail it to us that Jesus labor of love is the name of the ministry Jesus labor of love 238 sorrow essay. You are a Lane 238 Sorrow Ln., Winston-Salem, NC 27107 again. It's all tax-deductible with the 501(c)(3).

I cannot if it's a dollar, I just some message that you know we care with think about you were praying for you. These folks could use your help and I sure am blessed with everybody that helps us so getting to that whole idea of the gift of repentance as I promised in our appraisal by the real black book this week.

I was reading a book. It's a wonderful book 2 by the way John Lynch is called the cure and in that he mentioned the verse that would save it. Repentance is a gift and I never really thought about that second Timothy 225. If you read that in the NASB says with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition if perhaps God may grant them repentance, to the knowledge of the truth so if God's granting something to you then you know then he's he's giving you a gift and sometime back I heard Craig McConnell who went be lower this week with the ransom heart ministries in Colorado save it. Repentance is like the prodigal son on his way back to eat dinner with his dad. You know this is this is some that although it's hard to be humble and it's hard to look in her face. Your dad after you've done this and that it's still a wonderful feeling to know I'm in be back at my father's table and there's gonna be a fatted calf it's gonna be a wonderful feast that I'm looking forward to and I wonder, have you enjoyed repentance like that is an experience that you can remember in your own life. We went man I can hardly wait to get this right and I think about a night that I was praying this actually forced to do in a Christian Car Guy show as praying about a lot of different stuff but all the sudden Jesus showed up and it really scared me honestly and he had this question for me in my spirit like Robbie what you want and I glibly because I was so terrified upon his presence so I just want to serve you, which was pretty much a poser and Jesus looked at me and said do you and in in doing that in my heart all the sudden like something that you would see in a place somewhere at my life started the flash before my eyes and series of series of things that he had asked me to deride Felty put on my spirit to do that I had not done started to just appear and it was one right after the other emeritus flashes like this friend you're supposed to have lunch with this printer. This from Eva's friend. You're supposed to send a letter to etc. etc. and so it was so exciting to me that I went out I grabbed a piece paper because were coming so fast that I can write them down as they were, because the idea that I could make this right. And these were things that I could do was so encouraging that wow I could call my own friend yeah I need to go have lunch that alone I get that this is what this is the way I can serve you and in him I had in a marvelous time in that particular repentance and so my question you know when I listen to Bruce thing Springsteen sing about Rhinelander that stolen car. There's a guy who could really enjoy some repentance and of getting back to the way things are the right with things. How wonderful would it be if God gave him the gift of Jesus Christ and him understanding what really he did for that McCarthy and that he could be redeemed and that and that he could walk in newness of life is a new creation and what might that look like well we have some colors you want to get to at Tracy in Taylorsville, Utah Tracy run a Christian Car Guy show good morning my apartment cart. By the way car that led me. They called him like a guy they were probably just a bunch of joy, writer, and even if they found them because they're under a bed. They basically get their hands that and they're right out after period of time doing it again. That is really difficult to find the car and it would be everybody to cut high and maybe if they could do exactly that having somebody like the Diver lawyer and patient record like K or help out in locating the car because I pretty much the only way they actually retrieve the car out when he read that several people with success stories that that work for them and they recommended. Make sure you you you a little gift to the dispatcher did make sure the dispatcher helps your sandbag has been well aware like the girl cart and like that parameter check or whatever and find his own car is able to recover it. At that point that it hated high Diver… When I really like that because that's probably your best bet are the drivers that are going out. I wanted a red you you gave an address that the garlic and donations that that that that that does other than the online address and I have a hard time writing hoping you could please repeat it just a little bit lower. My mother used to complain. I always talk too fast, it's Jesus labor of love 238 to 38 sorrow as you are a Lane Winston Salem, North Carolina which is just tendency to 72710727107 correct wonderful.
